I saw the Red,White & Blue program last night on BBC4. Enjoyed it a lot. Today, with the huge number of cds,the internet and satellite tv, it is hard to imagine what it was like in the early 60s when imported records were scarce and national radio was even more limited than it is now. It must have been quite a revelation when those american performers arrived in the UK.

I also liked Tom Jones talking about his Joe Meek experience, and how Lonnie Donegan and Ramblin' Jack Elliot seemed so fond of each other.
