To answer Dave Sagers questions, "what do we talk about now?" We could talk about the missing ingredient on Ken Burns Crockumentary...Jazz music.
First, though, there is a movement generating on the Jazz musicians forum to ask PBS not to run the Ken Burn Series again. PBS uses stuff like this and the 'Three Tenors" for Pledge drives and we should nip this in the bud. The Burns series is too full of perverted musical history and racial invective to be aired on PBS or any outlet. And the commercial exploitation of this is very blatant. We suggest that everyone contact their local PBS station and write to PBS national.
Perhaps someone can put up phone numbers and Addresses plus names.
