Im 80 years young and have been involved in music all my life. This Ken Burns special was special for me and my wife and we listened for an hour a night so that we could review and rehash the music, the artists and the special way it was presented. Im now buying the DVD so that we can enjoy it any time we wish at our leisure. Ken Burns is a very special person who has a grasp on life, in all aspects and situations.
