great documentary-I really loved seeing the stax musicians teaching & guiding the youth how to play instruments-passing on valuable knowledge for the future.

She gave a free concert yesterday in Battery Park City.

Yes he did - would love to hear the story behind that .

I ordered the DVD and became a member. I have not been a PBS member ina few years and I watch too much of it NOT to support. Hey if you only donate $25, PBS deserves all our support. :thumbsup:
