It’s like Do They Know It’s Christmas Time but with talent Barn.
It's one of the best things I've ever seen.

If this kind of music is your thing, I can recommend Ken Burns' wonderful 9 part documentary "Country Music.
It's one of the best things I've ever seen.

I’m not a massive C&W fan Barn but I do like some of it. I’ve seen the Ken Burns series though and you’re right, it’s great. Every Ken Burns series that I’ve seen has been brilliant. I loved the one on Jazz too but my favourite is the one on the American Civil War which would easily make my top 5 documentary series ever. Possibly number one.
Re the country music documentary, at the end of the series I felt that I had a greater understanding of America than I had before I started.

I remember watching the Ken Burn civil war documentary when it first aired many years ago now . I have the book and music c.d ,and yes for me its probably the best made documentary I've seen .
Made even more remarkable, I think Ken burns and his brother were only 19 years old at the time the wrote and produced it.
I agree with you Barn, its a real eye opener. I felt the same way , still do.'It doesn't matter how beautiful your theory is. It doesn't matter how smart you are . If it doesn't agree with experiment, its wrong'' . Richard Feynman

I didn’t know that they were only 19 Fishy. That’s quite an achievement.
Again my apologies.

Hi Herlock . My apologies , For some reason I remember reading that was the case and it stuck in my memory all this time . But upon doing some research I've found that not at all true .Ken Burns was born in 1953 and the Civil War went to air in 1990 ( it did however take five years to complete, making it 1985 when he would have started the project. ) making him 32 . At guess, maybe he had a fascinating with the war that begun at an early age that led to his production later in life , but thats my best guess .
Again my apologies.Regards
Sir Herlock Sholmes.
