1995 Benford Standley produces one of the first audio/video webcast in history...

In 1995 Standley produced one of the very first live video/audio Internet cybercast.  The webcast was from
the world famous Troubadour in Hollywood. On the lineup were some  classic LA acts including, The Bum
Steers, John York from the Byrds, Greg Harris of the Flying Burrito Brothers, Buck Page, founding member
of the Riders of the Purple Sage, county "hit" writer Steve Hill,  producer Sid Smith (Circus of the Stars,
Bob Hope's Christmas Specials for ten years, Miss Universe Pageants) was playing the cardboard box and

some other great LA talent chartered the super informational highway.. click to see flyer from 1995

 

In 1997, while living back in Austin, Tx, he produced a live Internet cybercast of Willie Nelson and Kinky
Friedman and Friends, who were playing for the 100 year birthday party of Jimmie Rodgers ( Father of Country Music). The cybercast was produced in concert with Sony/Columbia Online and he produced  the show on a

Bob Dylan website. The show was a Yahoo "Pick of  the Week," and a pick by CitySearch.com, and was so successful that the Sony server system crashed in San Francisco.  With this Standley headed to Hollywood...but nobody knew what he was talking about...

IS WEBCAST LIVE IN CONCERT WITH YAHOO

FROM THE BEVERLY HILLS HOTEL

The Webcast was beyond our dreams!  Thanks to
everyone that helped make this 5 hour live audio-
video Internet event possible.  When owner and
producer of The StudioClub.com asked the guys
at Yahoo, "Had anyone done something longer
than 5 hours live?"  Yahoo! said, "Yeper, Willie
Nelson Webcast of his 4th July Pick Nick went
for a day and into the night."  So we will run
 second to Willie any day.  The webcast

would cut from the main stage to the backstage

productions studio where interviews were done.

Producer Benford Standley began to study multimedia in 1993, while

negotiating a one million dollar CD-Rom deal with IBM.  He first

 learned of the Internet and it's future power from Willie Nelson back

 in 1994, when he was co producing the short wave radio broadcast

 of Farm Aid for Willie.  After seeing the Internet he quoted Gary P.

 Nunn saying,  "I might have been born yesterday, but I stayed up

late last night..."  He saw the future and got online.
