it is Great! A little OT but speaking of the roots of music check this out:

The program starts with the song by Link Wray

Coincidentally, shortly after I watched the first time I heard this, from the Traveling Wilburys

Made me smile.

I couldn't break myself away from it and will soon be learning more about Mildred Bailey, Charlie Patton and others. I had no idea they had such an influence on the music that followed.

I'll look for reruns but may wind up buying the CD.
