Bluegrass, A Film by a Kentucky Colonel
Bluegrass, A Training Film for the Kentucky Colonel
Two of the most Famous Kentucky Colonels appeared in 1965 in Bluegrass (archival tourism film), Colonel Sanders explains how to make a mint julep, while Colonel George Chinn shows off Colonel Daniel Boone's Rifle. I doubt there is a colonel alive that does not want to see this video at least once!
"Bluegrass" is an educational 'travelogue', a promotional film that was commissioned, collaborated and produced with the cooperative consent of the Kentucky Colonel and the Commonwealth of Kentucky in the 1960's. It was found by one of our colonels and submitted as great content for our website, the film is available for download at the Internet Archive and and can be used commercially as stock footage by contacting Periscope Films.
