How many of you have had a one-on-one conversation with Sarah Cannon when she was not in character as Minnie Pearl, like I have? A finer, more compassionate southern lady does not exist, then or now. The Vanderbilt Hospital cancer center bears her name, proudly.

Grandpa Jones was a blood uncle (his mom's brother) of a friend of mine from back in the day and stayed with them at their home several times in his teens.
Said it was surreal getting out of bed in the morning, going down stairs and seeing a table full of country music legends gathered around the breakfast table drinking coffee, talking shop, joking around and teasing one another.

Nothing to add about Burns' documentary, haven't seen it yet.
Just recommending the Country Music Hall of Fame if you're ever in Nashville. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I watched it all tonight and thoroughly enjoyed it.
They gave Hank a huge chunk of the episode. Sad tale.

I was pretty surprised to find out that Hank Williams was only 29 when he died.
Yikes that's some hard living right there.

Did you notice how they just kinda threw Woody Guthrie in there, to sorta suggest the country folks weren’t cool enough to appreciate his commie folk songs???

Think they’ll throw in Pete Seeger later?

I finally sat down after lunch and finished watching the rest of segment 3. That was the best one so far. Of course, it centered on Hank Williams and rightfully so. The man was a genius as far as songwriting was concerned. I've always been a fan of his music. It's amazing to think about the number of the greatest country stars that that era produced.
I'm hoping tonight's segment will just as good, because Patsy Cline, the best female country artist ever will be on. To me, the era of the late 40's through the 70's was when country music was the best. Actually, there's not much recorded after 1970 that I care to listen to.

The 40's through the 70's was the Golden Age. And then came, Billy Ray Cyrus. Once upon a time I thought he was bad.
And now, country mixed with rap. Today, a complete garbage dump, country music.
