- DirectorJack PhelanStarsDwight DillerJack PhelanBehold! Nineteenth Century mountain music and the long forgotten tunes of the Appalachian trail have been rediscovered in the hills of West Virginia! "The Fifth String" is the story of legendary roots musician Dwight Diller as Dr. Daniel Greenfield, an Ivy League music professor who journeys back to the hills of Appalachia to attend the funeral of the man who raised him. Having fled the mountain hollows and the hillbilly stereotypes that haunted him as a child, Greenfield returns to his birthplace in the Yew Pine Mountains to pay his respects to the man who taught him how to play. To his fellow academics at the University, his hillbilly background has remained a personal secret -- but with the news of his trip revealed in a board meeting -- he must deflect the snickers and the jokes of "heading home to the sticks". But his plan of making a brief appearance at the gravesite is only wishful thinking, and shortly after his brother picks him up from the airport, he realizes that the mountain world he once inhabited moves to a rhythm all its own. The shame he has long held for the mountain culture and the "old-timey music" of his youth will be severely tested. He embarks on a musical odyssey that brings him face to face with a past he has desperately tried to outrun. But as the old-timers used to say, "The things you run from, you're bound to take with you." "The Fifth String" is a celebration of hope, salvation and the ultimate power of the human bond rekindled through music.

- DirectorMartin SharpStarsTiny TimMartin SharpDon LaneLuna Park is an aged amusement park located in an area of prime real estate in Sydney Australia. Tiny Tim, at the time of this documentary, was an aged entertainer, who mined all of popular songwriting history for his performances. Both of them came together in 1979 for Tim's first attempt to set a world record for non-stop singing. Without attempting to comment on the eccentric singer's life or seek a deeper meaning in it, this documentary screens moments from his entire career as a celebrity, going back to his marriage to "Miss Vicky" on the Johnny Carson show. Tiny Tim was a curiously charismatic, gawky, beak-nosed man who played a ukulele, sang in a falsetto voice, and had extremely long, wavy hair. He was also an unparalleled scholar of popular music going back to the mid-nineteenth century, with a repertoire of tens of thousands of songs. In fact, so extensive was his knowledge that he was much sought-after by scholars and musicologists around the world. Despite the limitations of his persona and performance technique which would normally have resulted in his being only a novelty act, he had an astonishingly long and successful performing career. The other focus of this documentary is Luna Park, which was for Sydney residents what Coney Island is for New Yorkers. At one point it was closed as a result of a series of well-publicized fatal accidents, probably caused by sabotage arranged by unscrupulous developers who coveted the land it was on
- DirectorSid LaverentsStarsSid LaverentsBob SandstromKarlene SandstromSpurred by house guests Bob Sandstrom and Karlene Sandstrom leafing through his scrap book and asking about photographs in it, Sid Laverents begins to tell his life story. He begins with the emigration of his British maternal grandparents and Danish paternal grandparents to the United States in the late nineteenth century. He learned later in life that his paternal grandparents took the last name Laverents solely because they didn't like their own family name - which Sid does not know - and liked the way Laverents sounded. Both the Laverents and Davis clans eventually settled in Cheyenne, Wyoming, where Sid's parents, Paul Laverents and Edith Laverents née Davis, met, married, and in 1908 had their first child who would be Sid. Sid and his family moved often in his early years - from Cheyenne, to Willows, California, to Pocatello, Idaho, to Indian River City, Florida, to various locales in Colorado, to Tampa, Florida - as Paul and his brother, Art, chased various business dreams, some with success, some with utter failure. In Tampa with Sid now in his late teens, Sid would enter vaudeville using his father's new business, a theater, and Sid's one man band which he had developed over the years, as the springboards into this venture. Traveling through Florida performing his act, he would meet a slightly older woman named Eleanor, but who preferred to go by the name Sue. She, who was also a novelty act vaudeviller, would become an important part of his life. Sid's story is continued in The Sid Saga Part 2 (1987).'The Sid Saga Part 2' (1987) uses the same poster.

After Dixie invites Jimmie to perform in a concert he is putting on for the other passengers, Jimmie is persuaded to participate in a crooked card game run by Judge Homer Kenworthy and his associates. However, with Dixie's intervention, Jimmie wins handsomely, then accuses the gamblers of trying to cheat him. A fistfight breaks out and Jimmie beats them. When the boat docks at Creek City, Jimmie is disturbed to see Kenworthy and his cohorts welcomed by Stan Caldwell, Jimmie's uncle's partner, and Jeanette, who runs the Round-Up Saloon. Jimmie decides to take a job with the Sunshine Band, which has been booked at the saloon, in order to find out more about Caldwell. After town developer Caldwell installs Kenworthy as judge, and his associate, Samuel W. Beale, as city marshal, Jimmie discovers that his uncle was killed during a purported holdup and suspects that Caldwell was behind it. He also finds out that Caldwell has been cheating the settlers by selling them dry land and forcing them to buy water from him. Then, when they cannot pay, Caldwell forecloses and resells the land. Still not revealing who he really is, Jimmie challenges Caldwell about a claim belonging to Pop Lassiter. As a result, Caldwell tells Jeanette to pay Jimmie off, but Jimmie turns her down. After Jimmie discovers that Caldwell's men have roughed up Pop, he confronts Caldwell and reveals that he is his partner. Caldwell offers to buy Jimmie out, but he refuses to sell. Jeanette, who is falling in love with Jimmie, warns him to beware of Caldwell. As Caldwell controls the town's lawmen, Jimmie plans to incorporate the town and hold an election to fill the posts. He stages a minstrel show to enlist the support of the citizens and the judge's eighteen-year-old daughter Dorothy, who has just arrived in town, becomes part of the show. During the performance, Jimmie urges the audience to incorporate the town and elect their own officials, but is interrupted by gunfire from Caldwell's men, who try to break up the event. Jimmie tells Dorothy that her father is involved in Caldwell's crooked activities. On election day, Caldwell's men intimidate potential voters from entering the polling booth. Meanwhile, Jimmie rounds up the outlying land owners, who must then deal with barricades that Caldwell has set up at the entrances to the town. After Dorothy persuades her father to stand up to Caldwell, he goes to the poll and urges the citizens to vote for incorporation, but is shot at by one of Caldwell's men. However, Jimmie leads the settlers as they fight their way into town and cast their votes for a legitimate government. The repentant judge turns Caldwell and Beale over to a U.S. Marshal, and the future looks bright for Jimmie and Creek City.
