Change the WGBH to your station's call letters. This gives a list of shows by the titles of the shows...

There was an ad on PBS tonight for a series coming this fall called "The Blues" - a series of documentaries put together by Martin Scorsese. It looked very interesting indeed.

Yes, that's coming up in September I believe.

If The Blues program is the one I remember it was great, especially the Miss. Delta segment...it was in 3 parts as I recall, Delta Blues, City Blues and Cajun? Been a while but all well worth watching.

Thanks very much George Seto for listing all these programs.
