J&B,

I haven't watched it yet but if all of your assertions are true, (and I don't have any reason to believe they aren't), then it's a deal breaker for me too.

The things that happened revolving around a handful of musicians in a small region of southern Appalachia set in motion something that will span decades of decades of musical history is undeniable.

It sounds like PBS missed an excellent opportunity to document something of great historical musical significance.

It wouldn't be the first time PBS has "screwed the pooch".
