We’ve been watching “Country Music”. It’s been very good. I think the final episode airs tonight on PBS. The part about the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band last night was excellent.

My Father’s favorite song was “Life’s Railway to Heaven”. It was also my GGrandfather’s. It was sung at both of their funerals.

I saw a great version on youtube by Johnny Cash, The Carter Family, Earl Skruggs, and the Dirt Band. Johnny really could sing.

There’s almost as much Greenwich Village as Nashville.

The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band is one of the greatest country rock bands ever. Their lead singer Jeff Hanna is an amazing talent.

That series has been great! Any music fan should watch, even if country isn’t your thing.

When I did my H1-b protest I got their permission to use their ‘Workin Man (Nowhere To Go)’.

“Will the Circle Be Unbroken?” was originally a hymn from 1907 with lyrics by Ada Habershaw and music by Charles H. Gabriel, two of the heavyweight hymn writers of the postbellum era (1865-1917). These re the original words:

There are loved ones in the glory,
Whose dear forms you often miss;
When you close your earthly story,
Will you join them in their bliss?

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, by and by?
In a better home awaiting
In the sky, in the sky?

In the joyous days of childhood,
Oft they told of wondrous love,
Pointed to the dying Savior
Now they dwell with Him above.

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, by and by?
In a better home awaiting
In the sky, in the sky?

Great album. I have it on vinyl, cassette, CD, and MP3. Was listening to it within the last week.

I accidentally wandered onto this this series depicting the detailed history of country music and the fascinating, compelling, moving, and sometimes tragic stories of its greatest stars over many, many decades......I watched for a few minutes or so......and became entranced, nay...absolutely riveted.

It is THAT good !

I hope Ken Burns wins some big finger-lickin' award for this terrific documentary.
