So far this series is a 10 out of 10 for me. I'm learning so much about the various artists, their styles, and where they fit in with the history of our music.

Amazing! Fantastic ! Ken Burns only produces first class material !
Been in a busy patch so falling behind some on watching. We're on Episode 3 now: Monroe, Scruggs, Ernest T, Hank, the Bryants. Staggering to be reminded that all that music was compacted into a very short time frame. The radio must have been blistering back then.
Marty Stuart is looking like a cartoon character but he is cutting it up. He and Merle have had the best quips all evening. The MH talking head segments have been priceless.

Yep, tell me one thing Ken Burns has done that was not first class.
I always liked Marty Stuart's music. But before this series, I never realized how observant, analytical, insightful, articulate and artfully clever he is.
Bravo!
More Marty!!
I love the part where Maybelle Carter earns enough money from their records to buy a new guitar. That beautiful Gibson archtop guitar she bought must be a rare collectors item.
Well I checked it out, The "precious jewel" Gibson L-5, 1928. Safely behind glass in a temperature controlled environment.

I’m hoping they mention Joe Maphis. And Homer and Jethro.

It's in the CMHoF but it was part of the same scam by Robert McLean that Bill Monroe's mandolin was caught up in.

Marty has made it a mission to collect the history of the music.

Ken Burns manages to make boring documentaries about things I'm interested in.
Slow and Plodding ≠ Serious and Deep
PBS has also never pulled off a decent Shakespeare production.

Due to current budgetary restrictions the light at the end of the tunnel has been turned off -- sorry about the inconvenience.

Yes.., so "slow," so "dull" Not enough "energy". Should have been narrated by...…. PEE WEE HERMAN!I'd guess for Peter Coyote, Slow and Plodding = Serious and Deep bank deposits.
