have enjoyed his work thus far and just previewed his newest entry COUNTRY MUSIC which begins on pbs in mid september. don't have a country station set on my radio and never have but enjoy all music so this should be good. recall when i was very young, sitting by the radio with my family listening to the grand ole opry on saturday nights. remember that my dad loved hank williams who died when he was only 29 years old as did patsy cline. this starts with the music back up in the mountains and how it was passed from families until actual recordings were made by the cater family of va. june carter, who later married johnny cash and was the subject of the oscar winning movie ring of fire, lived for some time in henrico county and city of richmond and graduated from john marshall high school. think it has 6-8 parts and traces the beginning, the evolution, the icons. if you love country music or hate country music, will be a good history lesson. since moving down here have attended the houston livestock and rodeo each year. it runs for about 22 days and each day is capped off by a concert in nrg stadium where the texans play. many of the concerts are country and have become a big fan of george strait and love his rendition of AMARILLO BY MORNING, great lyrics, excellent musicians backing him up, particularly the fiddle in this one. if this is up to the level of his previous works, should be well worth viewing.
