every 3rd weekend or so, I showed an old movie in the community hall, Buster Keaton, Stan and Laurel, that sort of thing....people loved it....sometimes my old projecter broke down and then that was that...till it was fixed, no movies, and sometimes we had no electricity at all, black outs ...daily routine, out came the old Kerosene Lamp ^..^
