Every Year...I Never Learn

Every year my father loves to watch The Mummers from beginning to end, though he usually can't watch the end due to dinner, guests, going out, yada yada yada....
(This year it was surprise birthday party for my mother at my sister's, which went off without a hitch!)

So every year I set my TiVo to record The Mummers and every year they run late and I always miss the last 5 or more String Band performances (which my father likes the best).
[Last year I missed the last 7!]

This year was no different, even though I thought I had plenty of cushion room (started an hour early, from scheduled time, and ended TWO HOURS late, from scheduled time).

Of course, this year, rain canceled The Mummers on January 1st, and it was rescheduled for yesterday to start at 9:00am, but it was on a "Rain Delay" and apparently started about 90 minutes late, and even with two hours extra padding at the end (from the scheduled end of the parade) I once again missed the last 4 String Band performances!

So I am asking if anyone out there also records The Mummers (or did this year, or knows of any friends, family, friends of family or family of friends) and has at least the last 4 String Bands on tape or DVD -

Can anyone out there help me out???

[I need Avalon, Fralinger, Durling & Joseph A. Ferko's performances]


I can't offer much, I have no money, so I'm hoping for some generous donation of these 4 String Band performances...

I checked BitTorrent sites, but no one has anything posted (yet?)...if you have them in a video format like .WMV, and can email them (individually if necessary), that could work too (I can burn them to DVD from my computer).

HELP!?
