Re: PBS blues documentary (Friday)

["BT" <bulldog483@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I stopped watching halfway through the second one ,,maybe I had high
expectations ,,but it got a lot off track ,,I was hoping the feedback will
tell me which ones to watch when it is rebroadcast 47 million times between
now and next Christmas ,,

sorry for the negativity.
I really try to steer clear of that stuff ,,but the sixties were not that
great ..

Sorry, Tom Jones stinks when you want something anywhere near an actual
blues player of any import ,,,he or she could just have had a harmonica in
their pocket ,,and I would have watched.

My last hope is the Eastman one ,,It is the last one ,,maybe it has played
oh well I will wait for the reruns next month
Overall very disappointed
