this sounds like good stuff, I missed it but I did see the Hank Wangford "A to Z of Country Music" which was very good and is well worth another airing, come on Channel Four, get it out again please....

Thought this worth refreshing.
They'll be rebroadcasting the entire 4 hour series on Trio tonight, 7/25, from 7 pm. to 11 pm. est. USA.

Well worth the price of admission.

I have the book that this show is based on in my library of books on country music history. It is one of the best.

I will be watching for this show.

I think you'll find the first hour the best - there was a lot of interesting old footage.

as I remember the last hour was about how wonderful garth Brooks is even though he's sold millions more records than anybody else that doesn't make him a bad person.

the trouble about getting old is, I don't find any of his songs as memorable as oh lonesome me or jambalaya - anybody else have the same trouble?

Hi,
Television New Zealand played the video late last year and I taped half of it. Missed the rest. Do you have any information about the producer or who I could contact to get a copy compatible with TV in NZ

I watched every program from the Carter family through Willy Nelson to the girls, and onto Earle and Yokum, all watched over by people like Emmalou and Dolly. Well it was a very memorable experience, so I taped it to show to my friends, I learned a lot and thoroughly recommend it to y'all. It filled a large hole in my folk knowledge. -you know I honestly think, and I say to people in the "folk" scene in the UK -this is the folk music of today, and do you know they all look askance,- shows how much they all know.

Yep, It was fine. They did seem to miss ol' George Jones out pretty much. Watch it and give me your opinion.

Anyone with access to the "Trio" TV channel may find this interesting......or not.
They'll be airing the 4 hour documentry "Lost Highway:The history of American Country" on July 5th and 6th,at 8 p.m. EST.
I've not seen it yet,but I understand it ran in Britain last month.
Perhaps some of our Mudcat friends from across the pond could enlighten us with a review.
