American Masters Last Nite On Pbs

[6STRINGS 9LIVES]

Did anyone else see the PBS American Masters series last nite . It featured the amazing story of Ahmet Ertegun and Atlantic Records .I was literally spellbound for the whole 2 hours, while I had certainly heard of Ahmet and read some of the details of his founding of Atlantic I had no idea just how charasmatic and brilliant he really was .. amazing story with tons of interviews , Clapton , Mick , and a cast of hundreds.. heres a link to the series and the show if it's re-broadcast make shure to catch it ... The show points out just how much he brought to the world of music over the past 70 years and just how much we all owe him ... RIP Ahmet . http://www.pbs.org/wnet/americanmasters/database/atlantic.html

Darn, missed it. Will have to check listings to see if I can pick it up another time. I love PBS music shows.

I missed that too. Hope they show it again! I'd sure like to watch that.

That would have been awesome to watch.

D@mn! I went to bed early, suffering as I was from the Plague of Pollen.

Sounds like a great show.

Dang! I missed it too...oh Well, at least PBS seems to rerun those American Masters shows occassionally...the ones they did on Muddy Waters and Hank Williams Sr. were freakin' great.

Ertegun has always fascinated me, the guy had golden ears...a very important figure in the muic biz, who's influence on rock, r & b, & jazz would be hard to overstate.
