I've been following the programs as well although I finally gave up on the music videos last night. They were mostly just commercial country music videos with an accoustic instrument thrown in to seem authentic. The incessant ads and stupid chatter took up way more time than any actual music. They kept me on the hook saying Bill was going to be on but when he showed up he was just Scaggs' silent sidekick in a video from Sgaggs' country superstar days. I love the actual bluegrass that Ricky has done over the years but I wouldn't walk across the street to hear what they push out as commercial country these days.

The Bill Monroe retrospective Wednesday night was nice. It gave Bill a lot more of the credit he justly deserves than that 12 year old DJ did last night.

I'm looking forward to tonight's program with great expectations. If it turns out to be a montage of videos, I'll probably look for better programming... maybe a nice hour-long infomercial on making millions in real estate with no money down.
