[Dixielandjazz] The blues over last night's 'Blues.'

[Jim Beebe]

Again , I couldn't watch all of this show and had to shift to dial twiddling.

Where is Ken Burns when we need him?  Or even Wynton Marsalis and his cronies who mucked up Ken Burns' Jazz series.  Certainly any of them could do a better job with this Blues' presentation.

How many minutes did the camera guy linger on the fat woman shaking her behind.? That was excruciating.

This Blues series is in serious need of an expert editor...and writer.

On the plus side there were good sections on BB King. Interestring history and interviews with him.  Plus performance shots.  This is the way the whole show should be.

Curmudgeonly yours,

Jim Beebe
