Subject: RE: PBS - Ken Burns Country Music
Don't know what episode I sat through last night, as I tuned in after it began. Jeannie C. Riley singing Tom T. Hall's "Harper Valley PTA," which I am old enough to remember from the first time around.
Nice to encounter the songwriter who wrote "Don't Touch Me (If You Don't Love Me)," which I first heard, memorably sung, by Roy Clark.
It greatly interested me to learn more about Buck Owens and his Buckaroos, and how they were actually ground-breaking in their youth; from my television-watching childhood, I only knew Buck Owens from the "Hee Haw" show.
