Last December I promised you guys a documentary about the life and music of Lynne Sandy, and I am running behind schedule producing that documentary. To hold you over, and to observe the upcoming anniversary of Lynne’s passing, this week and next I will be bringing you more of the the foundation of that documentary, which is a video of a performance by The Defectors, at the Criel Mound in South Charleston, on June 16, 1983. The video was shot by Dana Grooms.

This clip contains three complete songs, “Better Hurry Up,” “Bag It,” and “I Found That Essence” which have been restored and remastered for inclusion in the documentary. The goal is to completely restore the performance and record the interviews with Lynne’s bandmates and friends and have the finished film ready to go as soon as is logistically possible.

In the meantime, enjoy this sneak peek at the work in progress, and execpt at least three more songs next week in this space. also, remember to check out last Decemeber’s video episode of Radio Free Charleston, which includes more of this performance.
