We had a great night of American music with a Ralph Stanley concert, Johnnie Cash and Hank Williams documentaries, culminating with the Down from the Mountain film. Isn't there a BBC America thing on cable TV over there? Perhaps if you all ask nicely, they'll put some of these things on, together with some of the British folk music things. We only get these things with a digital tuner, but I've got one of those clever boxes with two tuners and a hard drive (Fusion). you can pick out all the stuff you want from an two week on-screen guide.
