Chuck Nessa Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 I have always found his "stuff" to be angled for the best sentimental story and never took the work seriously as "documentary". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnlitweiler Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 His jazz series was mostly a swing-era series anyway, and I thought a lot of it was fun. His baseball series, with his New York-Boston obsession, pissed me off. He ignored an awful lot of interesting / important stuff. Almost entirely off the subject: In Harlem, NYC, on the hill overlooking where the Polo Grounds used to be, across the river from Yankee Stadium, is Jackie Robinson Park. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that. Where, if anywhere, is Willie Mays Park? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattes Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 KB's theory of history.... I wished I lived in the golden age Giving it up on the broadway stage Hang with the rats and smoke cigars Just have a break with Frank and count the stars Dressed to the nines, we've had too much Shiny jewels, casino cash Tapping feet, wanna take the lead A trip back in time is all I need Oh! Sing it out loud gonna get back honey Sing it out loud get away with me Sing it out loud on a trip back honey Sing it out loud and let yourself free Whoo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.:.impossible Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 Perhaps a cable network will syndicate. I'm actually very interested to know what Brute thinks of the Ken Burns Jazz series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
