- I grew up and lived in NYC for most of my adult life. I remember meeting Moondog during the 1970’s.
He was always standing at the corner of 6th Ave. and 53rd Street. I recognize him immediately from one of the reels of home movies I bought last year.
In 2023 I purchased a stack of old 8mm home movies from a Buenos Aires flea market. The guy who made them was a world class traveler/tourist. The movies are of Denmark 1964, Sweden ‘64, China ‘77, Japan ‘77, Thailand ‘77, Hong Kong ‘77, USA 62, Mexico, Panama ‘62, Israel ‘64. The music at the end of the clip is a Moondog composition “Pastoral” played by Max Allard and his brother Otto. maxallard.com .

Moondog!
Thanks for the reminder
You’re welcome,…I didn’t think he should be forgotten.
This just might be the only known footage of him during the 60s. What a treat for uploading this.
I hadn’t thought of it but you are probably correct. He was born (Louis Thomas Hardin) in May, 26, 1916. So in 1962 when this was shot he would have been 46.
@@fantansam Moondog is also in the film Chappaqua [1967] 28 minutes into the movie.
@@kaleidoscoping-nm3hb I'd never heard of that film so I looked it up. The short clip with Moondog is in B&W not color. ua-cam.com/video/wclAKWUcqgI/v-deo.html
@@fantansam yes I can see that one is colour the other not. Not sure why you feel the need to point that out but thanks anyway.
I love watching videos like this and thinking, where are those people now?
my uncle was in the Canadian Navy as a radio Officer (on loan to the Norwegian tankers) and after the war served on the DEW line in Canada when the St. Rockh the RCMP boat, came through the NW passage. Filming was forbidden, but I viewed Super 8 he had done in the late fifties. My aunt, instead of asking anyone, threw it all out when my uncle passed in 2005. I was choked.
I never heard of moondog before this, listening to his music now. Thank you for sharing this clip.
Back when dressing crazy in public would still actually get passerby's attention in NYC, lol.
I saw Moondog in Columbus Circle in 1987.
Always loved the fact that this man had an interesting music connection. When word got out that Alan Freed was heading to NYC as the new DJ for WINS radio, our dear Moondog was ready to sue him!
Turns out, Freed was using the Moondog moniker out in Cleveland years earlier. He thought he could continue using the name in NYC. A certain homeless musician said nope. The Municipal courts agreed! Seems that he actually copyrighted his Moondog moniker years before Freed came to NYC. They sided with New York Moondog and made Alan stop using the nickname over the NYC airwaves.❤
Bro I thought this was AI generated creepypasta at first thank you for introducing me to some of the wildest music I’ve heard in a hot second. This feels like discovering a NYC Easter egg
Moondog appeared on the Allen Burke TV show around this same time.
I would love to see that video if anybody has it. I also remember the Joe Pyne Show which had a similar combative style interview.
beautiful poem of a video
Thank you,... nicely put. I try to do justice to the original footage and try to add sound track that compliments the film.
this video might blow up in couple of years.
Had to watch this twice to process everything haha, what an amazing find, thanks for sharing it ❣️
Thanks,…I’m glad you liked it. I was pretty amazed myself when I first saw it.
amazing
I agree…
Very cool!
Thank you!!!!!.
Just wow
Dude is breaking the matrix 👍
Algorithm about to pick this one up
it's already happening
The algorithm has sent this to me. I have no idea who this is or the significance of the video. The algorithm giveth, and the algorithm taketh.
@@mh2120 Amen.
How does something like this end up in Buenos Aires?
Buenos Aires was an international destination A couple of Hollywood types ended up there. The cruise boats stopped there as well for 100 plus years. Also, after the war..........!! lots of new @international arrivals!!
would really like this to be in its original aspect ratio
I did the digital transfer myself using the Wolverine Pro. It converts everything to 1080p. I had to adjust the color because it was too blue. I used the "Walk" "Don't Walk" sign (green /red) behind Moondog as guide. I'm sure it could have been done better but it is what is.
I need answers.
Hahaha…Well I might have the answers…
Rawdawggin' mayne 😉
He’s out of time, a time traveling man from 2024 went back in time to troll people of the 1960s
I use a Time Machine that lets me convert old 8mm and Super 8mm home movies into digital files. I then edit the old films and add a soundtrack. I like to think of myself as a kind of visual archaeologist. Visually preserving things that no longer exist.
where do you get film at? or do you just find them at random
I go to alot of flea markets and thrift shops. It’s kind of a hobby. I have a lot of films to scan. I’m a curious person so I’m always looking to see what the past looked like.
@@fantansam Same! Are you from US? I have only ever found a handful at flea market and auction where I live. Usually I have to find mine online, trying to get my channel to focus on 8mm
I don’t even understand what is happening
Moondog
Apparently he was a rather famous blind musician at the time that lived in New York for 30+ years. He would spend a lot of time hanging around Sixth Avenue promoting and selling his music.
