What has happened to William J Ball on Youtube

[Mike Redman]

Does anyone know why there are no longer any videos of Bill Ball on Youtube?  All of the videos were there the other day when I was searching for some of the titles he recorded with Gordon Dando.

Hi Mike,

 

It seems like we're all shut off. I seems like SweetCabbageMcCraw has set them all to private viewing only. Actually, tonight it looks like all videos are gone. Cruel and unusual if you ask me!

One point to consider everyone:

Freddie Detterman has produced the William J Ball CDs and has all of them for sale on the

 WILLIAM J BALL WEBSITE

I spoke of Freddie yesterday and he tells me that the sales of the CDs dropped to virtually nil soon after he posted the Youtube videos. I believe that pulling them is an experiment to see if the sales recover.  

Please support the W J Ball website and just buy the CDs. I am sure that by supporting him more interesting items could be made available.

... they are not expensive and worth every penny!

Thanks Eric, I have one of Gordon's videos, but found it easier to view specific clips of Bill on Youtube.

Pity really, I purchased the CDs myself but I mostly liked the videos for the closeups of Bill's left and right hands, which were admirable examples to follow for any aspiring banjoist.

fortunatly , I had taken the precaution to register these videos on my hard drive
