Many good shows have been done. Quite a few on PBS with the Lomax collected material.

Pete Seeger's entire set of TV shows called The Rainbow Quest with all sorts of trad performers---also on PBS---are all available on video cassettes.

Back in 1961 there was a one time CBS TV program called FOLKSOUND USA. It was hosted by CISCO HOUSTON. Live guests were Frank Warner, Scruggs and Flatt, Casey Anderson, John Jacob Niles, John Lee Hooker, Joan Baez and a few others. Cisco was great. He sang Woody's "Hard Travelin"---a song I don't believe he ever recorded. I did tape the show with a hand-held mike and my 2-track Webcor reel-to-reel recorder. Sad to say that tape self destucted. I did save Cisco's songs and intros onto a cassette.--------------------I've never found that show on a video anywhere. And I HAVE BEEN LOOKING.

Yes, Crystal, shows like what you're looking for have been done. There was an audience.

And AS WE SPEAK some folks are working on an eight hour TV series called "Where Have All The Folkies Gone". It'll be done sometime in the future. Their goal from what I've been told is to make "a definitive and historical story of American Vernacular Music." What that means I am not completely sure. But I'm certain it will include many aspects of the folk revival and possibly the trad side of the coin as well. They are on the road right now interviewing lots of folks from those years.

Keep a patient but close watch.
