Can anyone help me track down a VHS copy of Ken Jacobs’s 1969 film “Tom, Tom, the Piper’s Son”? Or contact Mr. Jacobs perhaps?
A cursory 'Net search leads me exactly nowhere.
Any help would be appreciated.

I’ll give up on this shortly; just holding out a little hope that a sporadic reader of these boards might be able to help me with this.
Well, are you certain about the name of the movie? A search at IMDB has 2 movies of that title, one is a cartoon short from the 1930’s the other is a film from 1905, IIRC.
Made 1969, revised 1971, available from the Filmmakers Collective according to this site. They may be the outfit listed at the address on this site, but it’s a fairly generic name.
Thanks, mattk. But the second link you gave is to the Film Collective; the Ken Jacobs site you found for me (my hero!) refers to a Film Cooperative, which I found here.
Oops! Ah well, all’s well that end’s well, hopefully.
Thanks very much for your help, mattk, but the search continues: Filmmakers Cooperative will rent me a 16mm copy for $270, but I don’t want to see it that bad.
Hmm. I guess that also rules out catching it at the Lux Cinema in London on 7 December too, then! (http://www.secretcinema.co.uk/)
