Unfortunately, Jean Ritchie was not shown on the show, if it's the one I think you're talking about. Personally, I found the show disappointing for two reasons. a. Although, in their own words, Pete Seeger is considered the dean of that era in folk music, he only sang one song. Actually, I wasn't very fond of many of the singers on the show. They could have put on some better artists, like Jean Ritchie, for one. b. They spent too much of the time slot trying to beg for funds of PBS, at least on my station. That took up about half the show.
