This week, we want to tip our hat to David Jester<\/strong> of Portland, Oregon, who’s spent many years documenting the music scene of Portland, which included producing a cable television program in conjunction with the TWO LOUIES magazine<\/strong>. David is currently dealing with the big challenge of preserving his video archive, and he decided to create an event to raise some desperately needed funds.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, March 2, 2014, there will be a “JesterFest<\/strong>” at Oddessypdx, 521 N Tillamook, Portland, Oregon 97229.<\/p>\n

David describes his situation at his Facebook event page<\/a>…<\/p>\n

I have recorded over 10,000 musicians over the last 36 years… Videotape was only expected to last for 10 years… I have found that about 75% of the tapes are still good… It is time to digitize them all, or not worry about taking care of them any more… I need help to do this… I don’t have 5,000 hours left on my 65 year old bones to finish this project… I want to share as much of the “good ol’ days” as I can… I would love to have all of my friends come down to visit with me and interact with each other… 99% of us share the same “Love of Music” and the common “Love for Our Fellow HuMans”… If you would like to enjoy what I have to give, PLEASE JOIN US, at this event… The music is going to be awesome, and Vintage Antique Videos will play on the big screen between bands.. This is all ages, so bring your family… Please Share this Event on your page, and Invite all of your Friends…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Here’s a video clip from the TWO LOUIES cable TV show. This is the very first episode, which by some coincidence is the story of LOUIE LOUIE!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
