I have a lot of respect for musicians by the way they play. If I don't care for their personality, I can still enjoy their music.

Buddy Rich was one of the world's best big band drummers, but I've never heard anyone say he was a nice guy. I like his drum playing, and probably would have never played in his band.

I've also been in enough bands to know that when a group of musicians get together, there are bound to be conflicts. Look at Lennon and McCartney for an example. Sam and Dave from the famous duo of the same name hated each other, but made some great music together, and their live performances never showed their problems, just a great, top-notch concert.

I enjoyed the movie and the 3 hours of bonus interviews on the second disc very much. I took out of it what I liked, and didn't dwell on the very few things I didn't like.

Carol played great bass, Hal played great drums, Tommy played great guitar, Plas played great sax, all of the others did the same, and together they created the soundtrack of part of my life. I learned a lot about music by covering the parts they made up on the spot.

All in all I think Denny did a good job, it was after all a tribute to his father and the other musicians that were a piece of musical history for a decade or so. I enjoyed it.
