Below are two I think should be of interest. Hope list members will suggest others, and comment about them. Best wishes, Thomas. 1. BIG FAMILY - The Story of Bluegrass currently (Sept 2019) on PBS Big Family 2. The WOMEN OF COUNTRY CBS 1993 - currently available on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vP1LJ5XwWVw |

It was available on 2 VHS tapes for a shsrt while, then on a European DVD which disappeared in the blink of the eye. It has puzzled me that no purveyor of DVD programs has thought to make it available. Guess that is solved by youtube. Would be very interested to hear others reaction to this program. Enjoy, Thomas. |

At the end when all those women stream down from the back is an amazing moment. That said, I am also enjoying the current Ken Burns Country series. I am old enough that I know almost all of the songs, AND the performers. Even at that, there is the occasional revelation of an individual's life and career that I had either never known or had forgotten. |
