One of the wonderful things about the folk tradition in music is that you learn so much from people you know, sometimes from relatives, but more often from good friends. Terry Goller, a remarkable singer and guitar player who taught our whole community about folk music, was — long before we even formed The Flood — one of those inspiring friends.Terry was on hand for some of the seminal moments in the earliest days of The Flood's history. And in our antediluvian history as well. For instance, as illustrated above, Goller was one of the first to recognize in the late 1960s the budding Autoharp prowess in his good friend David Peyton.And a few years later, Terry was the headliner on that magical winter night in 1971 at Ashland (Ky.) Community College, the evening we have called the genesis of the band. As we noted in an earlier report here, Goller shared the stage that night with Brother Peyton and his partner, fellow Flood co-founder Roger Samples, while Pamela and Charlie Bowen sat in awe in the audience. Not only that, in August 1972, Terry and his wife Pat were at the very first of those “Bowen Bash” music parties where he introduced us to the music of an exciting new singer/songwriter named John Prine, blowing everyone away. Terry always tapped into The Next Big Thing. Working on several popular local radio shows, he also was often teaching guitar at music shops and performing at parties and at local folk venues. Though quite busy, he nonetheless usually had time show us a few licks and to tell us the history of the tunes he was playing. (Yes, our love of musical storytelling owes much to Mister Goller.)Terry died nearly 40 years ago this month, but he's still often on our minds. For example, one of the songs that cropped up at the end of last week's rehearsal traces directly back to Terry and to our earliest days with him. In fact, the very first time we ever heard "Dusty Boxcar Wall," it was being sung by Terry Goller and his buddy Dave Bias in the summer of 1967 at the Summit Coffee House on Marshall University's campus, a beloved venue that Terry himself was instrumental in establishing when he was a sophomore there.About the SongSo the song was very new when Goller and Bias started singing it. Just two years earlier it had been introduced by composer Eric Andersen on his debut album for Vanguard, “Today is the Highway.” It has been said that Andersen was the first of the “new Dylans” among the mid-'60s folksinging upstarts. And about the same time that the original Dylan was settling in and conquering New York's Greenwich Village, Eric was dropping out of college in Geneva, NY, and hitchhiking west to San Francisco to try his luck singing solo in North Beach coffeehouses and seeking out the poets of the Beat Generation. In liner notes for that first album, Stacey Williams said “Dusty Boxcar Wall” was written “on the Bay Bridge between Berkeley and San Francisco,” adding, “Eric had been performing at the Cabale coffeehouse in Berkeley with a city group that did country music, The Snopes County Camp Followers.”Wanting to do a solo with the Snopes group, according to Williams, Andersen wrote “this archetypal song of death, love and separation.” By the way, Berkeley's famed Cabale coffeehouse was founded in late 1962 by folksinger Debbie Green, who later became the first Mrs. Eric Andersen.Our Take on the TuneFlash forward 60 years to the Bowen house.While Charlie has given his new banjo the nickname of “Buzz Kill,” the instrument actually does have its moments, especially when the tune on the table is of the old folksong variation. Here — as Danny, Randy, Sam and Charlie have a go at this classic Eric Andersen tune — the banjo brings an appealing little lope. This is a public episode.

After five grueling years and 50 updates to Kickstarter Backers, FILM Ferrania releases P30 and a series of videos updating backers on its progress in restoring an Iconic Italian film factory and resurrecting a color reversal film for the film community. Co-host, Steven Wallace a backer on the project, has the opportunity to speak to Dave Bias, the marketing manager for FILM Ferrania to learn more about its difficulties in resurrecting an iconic brand.

Dave Bias continues in part 2 of this interview by telling the fascinating story of how co-founders Nicola Baldini and Marco Pagni teamed together to resurrect Ferrania as FILM Ferrania to bring back analog film production. Dave talks about FILM Ferrania's successful Kickstarter campaign that allowed them to invest in the future of analog film. However, as with any good story adversity lurks around the corner threatening the protagonist’s journey. Dave tells us that proved true with FILM Ferrania. They suffered a major setback in refurbishing the manufacturing facility that caused them to have to delay the release of a new color reversal film originally promised as a reward to their Kickstarter supporters. Meanwhile, the FILM Ferrania team found an old hand written note in a diary that turned out to be the formula and manufacturing instructions of a gorgeous, silver-packed, black and white cinema film stock that is the stuff of legends: P30. Producing the first batches of P30 proved to be a good learning step in developing and fine turning the machinery and processes for eventually making color reversal film. Dave Bias' gripping and inspiring account of the extraordinary story of the resurgence of analog film is a story that has only just begun.

To call Dave Bias a creative is too limiting. He is a story teller, a entrepreneur, a photographer, a graphic designer, and much more – a 21st century polymath. Dave's journey begins in a small West Virginia town as vinyl record shop owner. A love of folding cameras (such as the pre-World War II Voigtländer Bessa) and a chance encounter with a rented Hasselblad leads Dave into the world of photography. When Polaroid stopped making instant film, Dave took on what to some may have seemed to be a quixotic quest to save Polaroid. That led to his work with Impossible Project. And from there, Dave moved on to FILM Ferrania. Ferrania was founded in 1917 and later started manufacturing photographic and motion picture film. In 1964 they were bought by 3M and became primarily a white label film manufacturer. The near death of film photography due to the dramatic advancement of digital cameras led to Ferrania ceasing film manufacturing and finally shuttered their plant doors in 2010. Curiously, the pulse of the apparent corpse of film photography indicated a faint heart beat that began to grow stronger and stronger. A small but passionate group of artists and photographers from around the world clamored for something more tangible and beautiful – something that only film could provide. Film was not dead! Nicola Baldini and Marco Pagni teamed together to bring back to life Ferrania as FILM Ferrania to bring back film. They ran a successful kickstarted that ended October 2014 with 5582 backers raising $322,420. So where does Dave Bias fit in the FILM Ferrania story? He is now spearheading the marketing and sales of FILM Ferrania film in the United States. Dave wants to ensure that the FILM Ferrania makes analog film for the next 100 years and beyond. When pre-ordering opened for the first alpha batch of P30, the servers crashed and burned. When their e-commerce store came back online, P30 sold out almost immediately. That’s truly a good problem to have! It’s a big story that one episode cannot comfortably contain so I’ve created two episodes to tell their story. Part 1 fittingly begins with the story of Dave Bias.
