This vintage black and white film was obtained in the early 1990s from Dawn Eden; she graciously provided Sheri Holmbeg & I (Dotti Holmberg) a copy of The GoldeBriars' performance in video format which I used in my GoldeBriars eBook story: "Whatever Happened to Jezebel?"

"Saro Jane" performed by The GoldeBriars for this show is a "traditional song" and can be traced back to the 19th century as an old sea chantey. ("Traditional" means that the original versions of these songs have long since outlived their period of copyright, if indeed they ever were copyrighted. Most of them go back far in time for convincing traces of initial authorship. Their domain is truly public.)
Quote from "The GoldeBriars' Story: Whatever Happened to Jezebel" "The ABC-TV Network show "Hootenanny Show" which helped feed the folk craze, invited the GoldeBriars on their show when they were filming in Knoxville, Tennessee. We were all shaking in our boots to be doing our first national program but enjoyed the experience, which was good and bad. We were happy when we were to do one of our favorite songs, "Saro Jane", but not when our instrumental introduction was eliminated because of rigid schedules and not when our song was changed vocally for staging purposes so we didn't feel we were able to do our best...our sound should never have been compromised for any program!"
