Dave,

I received my Billy Bevan set the other day and already watched it twice. It's a magnificent labor of love, all the more precious when one realizes how much work went into piecing together what others had cut apart and repackaged. Thanks to you and Dave Wyatt, and all those historians, collectors, archivists and accompanists who contributed. Brent Walker's Bevan biography is terrific, and the reminiscences of Billy's grandchildren was icing on the cake. And I'll admit, that gentle piano playing of Youngson's Chopin theme brought a lump to my throat.

Magnificent work all around! Thank you again!

Thank you very much Ed.
Your kind comments mean a lot.

Whilst they didn't quite bring a lump to my throat, they certainly made me blush!

All the Billy best,

Dave

Thank you you Daves for this wonderful disc. Usually when you guys release a disc I quote Oliver Twist. There was so much material on these discs and obvious long stretches on the computer video restoration programs you two must be exhausted. Thank you guys for providing me with silent film comedy I have never seen before.

A few films in, I concur that this is one marvelous D&D production, and ON PATROL in now firmly amongst my all time favorites!
The only thing even funnier than the Bevans are the Kickstarter videos :-). Great job, Dave and Dave, thanks so much!!
