way back in 1996...

[MCA]

At Sams today. I finally bought a DVD-VCR recorder combo (Samsung for $160). I figured it was time to move some old videos to DVD so the Oppo player could upscale them to 1080 for the LCD monitor.

So what was the first tape in the stack? Nope...not the old Living Jewels series....but good try!!!


It was "Advanced Koi Keeping". It was made in 1996. So as koi videos go...it is an oldie but a goodie.

Guess who released the video? Ah, come on....guess.

It was Lotus Land Pictures. Ring any bells?

Their address is listed in Charlotte, NC.

Yep, none other than Brady Brandwood!!!!!

Towards the end of the video there are shots of a pond, filters, and many bowled koi. Many of those koi were show winners.

So know whose pond and fish they are?

Strong hint....towards the beginning of the video where some shots of car tags of koi keepers. One of those was in Maryland....hint....hint

The tag said "Artskoi"

Yep that pond system and koi were owned by none other than Art and Nicole Lembke!


Glad Brady is still making koi videos....and producing some very nice koi!!!

Glad Art and Nicole are still doing koi!!! Nicole will be Head Judge of Nishikigoi and Longfins at the Atlanta show in September and Art be Head Judge of Goldfish.
