Always loved this band and of course the afterbirth, "The Blue Birds"...Seeing Miki and the boys at Humphries...Just brings back the times I lived in Shreveport...Thanks for posting...
I was working in Production at Channel 12 when we did this video. I shot most of the studio footage (Miki closeups, etc.--mostly at the beginning of the video). My friend Dale did the studio lighting and of course, as mentioned, Gilbert Little did all of the editing on a "computer controlled" 1-inch reel to reel tape editing system. I remember being very proud of the product and yes, I'd love to see A-Train at Humfrees again!
Also, the video itself—It speaks to the message of the song perfectly, and the production quality is quite good, especially for a first effort. My favorite part is the baptism scene...The Channel 12 folks did it long before the Coen brothers!
AWESOME CHANNEL!!!!
