Enjoying the heck out oh this. Marty Stuart, Vince Gill, and Ricky Skaggs are really keeping the collective memory of country music. I hope some younger musicians see this and understand the need for it.

I love Bob Newhart.



Unfortunately , i think he’s trending in a lot of celebrity death pools.

Fabulous,

From beginning to end,

It is absolutely fabulous.

If a man plays music, if a man loves and identifies with music, if a man has memories related to music then he will love this work of art.

What a treasure this documentary is- I identify with every phase of this documentary.

My sleepless newborn son and myself have been watching it every night.

He said to tell the OT that he gives it, "TWO THUMBS UP!"

The story of introducing Charley Pride to his unsuspecting white audience was hilarious.

The bit about Shel Silverstein getting involved in CM was really interesting as well

I streamed it and just finished outstanding.

Reminded me of my youth, my dad had a guitar and would sing all these old songs to us. He loved George Jones and Glen Campbell but couldn't sing a lick. We were kids though and had no idea, we loved every minute.

Ken ended it just right, before Bro Country ruined Country Music

This is the God’s honest truth. My family saw Pride live in concert in July 1993. Branson. We were on the back row of the front section. We start hearing him singing, but he’s not on stage. Where is he?! We look around, and there are these two white eyes and this big white grin right between the back of heads. He hugged us and went up to the stage. It was a beautiful and hilarious moment. The man is incredible.

I've been enjoying the series. I thought it was very interesting when Roseanne Cash said her pops gave her a list of 100 essential country music songs.

I only saw this past Sundays episode. I noticed there’s a low-key announcer giving play by play on the pictures and who was being interviewed. What’s up with that?
