Guest Book

The way Ken Burns does things works for me. I enjoyed the way he's telling the story of the Italian campaign through the eyes of the young man "Babe." A real person, with real family. And tying the war into families around the country. Real world stuff...not like a history book, with just the facts. This is why I would love to see him document Duane's life. Set it in context, of the culture around him, both musically and socially. A way to tell the story of the Deep South in a tumultous time through impartial eyes (I hope), as well as incorporating the evolution of the music. Long interviews with people like Hophead, Johnny Sandlin, Jerry Wexler, John Hammond, Chuck Leavell, Fishcamp Johnny, Jimmy Carter, Rick Hall, Gregg, David Wyatt, John Lyndon, Clapton, Bill Thames.....a cross-section of the people who lived through it all, were there from the beginning. Use portions of the interviews as the tale unfolds. Get the story down, in context. For the record, from as many original sources as possible.
