Amen to Howard

If you malign the decision of the producers to put this show together, you're missing the point.

Have you bothered to read the series info?

As HJ said, the production was not a documentary about the blues, but one person's relationship with the music -- both as a fan and as a musician (amateur or otherwise). That concept that's completely in line with the other shows in the series: Andrew Lloyd Webber on pre-Raphaelites, or Ian MacKellen on the painter Lowry.

So you're bitter that HL's interest in the music and his 'average' ability to perform it gets him airtime? Tough.

Always remember they create TV programs to make money: And the harsh truth is that the segment of the population that finds the passions of these celebrities interesting ...

...is infinitely larger than those that care about your opinions about how "THE MUSIC" should be presented.
