I haven’t watched that many, but a year or so ago I watched the Country Music series. It was good, but I was disappointed it talked very little about the music itself.
Not one minute talking about what a waltz is or a shuffle or swing. Nothing about how a steel guitar is played. I got the feeling that Burns isn’t a musician and wasn’t as interested in the actual music as the personalities or the business.
My kids and I still have a standard tag line we use as a joke after watching: “… and that country girl/boy went on to sell a million records!”
Beato is great, if sometimes over my head since I have limited understanding of music theory. It would be interesting if there were a country music-specific YouTuber like Beato.
Interesting, I did not know that Cleveland had a connection to Ness. The microbrewery movement hit Cleveland sometime after I moved to California. I remember coming back to visit my parents and seeing locally-brewed beer that was named after Ness. I wondered at the time why Ness.
Famous alumnus from my high school: Roger Zelazny.
My high school’s famous alumni: Smother Brothers, Squeaky Fromme, Traci Lords. My sisters were classmates with Fromme and I was theoretically classmates with Lords, although she didn’t actually attend much. Charles Lindbergh also went to our high school but for only a short time.

Interesting. I kinda liked that one, but there was too much Marty Stewart and Roseanne Cash.
The music: yeah, I love Rick Beato for that. His interviews are all about the music.

One more thing: some jerk from Cleveland thought the article was TOO favorable to him. I ended up Blocking him.
I think, "most people don't even know Ness went there. Or care."

Wow.
I found out Robert Zemeckis went to Fenger, too (he was a famous director: Forrest Gump, Back to the Future).
