The good news is that it is NOT a Ken Burns project! And BTW, John. It's

Dear John,

Thanks for posting the link. I saw it in today's paper with my tea and
giggled just a bit so as not to spill any. It's a stretch, to put it
kindly, that record companies went searching for racial, ethnic and rural
genres because of sales declines due to radio. The fact that those records
found an audience seems a more persuasive explanation. Another one of those
wrongheaded Brit conclusions about American culture, but it will be good to
have the material on PBS, even if the format will be snippets of audio
awash in voice-overs.
