Bill Monroe drives a mandolin like Ricky Bobby drives cars.

"you know why baptists won't have sex standing up? afraid someone would think they were dancin'!"

It's been very educational. Tonight was Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, Eddy Arnold and others.

If others miss this series or just want to have it for future use, it is available for purchase in several medias.

I watched the first episode. Who the heck knew the banjo was from Africa? I always assumed it was from white hillbilly's in the Tennessee Mountains. I've never even seen a black man playing a banjo. Cool history lesson.

Watched again last night, learning a lot that I did not know (not that I knew all that much about the history)

The Hank Williams stuff was great. Sad, but great.

Burns said it took 8+ years to research and film this series.

So far I count three musicians they interviewed that have since died - Jimmy Dickens, Ralph Stanley and Merle. I heard Ken Burns say they purposefully interviewed the oldest ones first, and they had a sit-down scheduled with George Jones but he died a few days before.

That would have been an awesome interview
