A bit of rust in small places but a good running car for my little pike.

Burns strikes again
2 of 2 found this helpful I watched this wonderful documentary a number of years ago and enjoyed it enough to but a copy of it to enjoy again and again. I love EVERYTHING Ken Burns does and we have several of his amazing programs. The ONLY thing I am disappointed in with this DVD set is that the music level is so high that it buries the narration. I was a mastering technician and manager of the mastering department for a large pre-recorded tape company back in the 69' and 70's and I would remix that master before it ever reached the street. Other than that, I love the set.
In all fairness, my surround amplifier took a dive just before I played Baseball and I have had to play it on straight stereo rather than Dolby 5.1. I have not repaired it as yet. That happens tomorrow. I hope it makes a difference.
Here are my wife's comments as well.
Good Afternoon,
I am formerly from Long Island, New York. As I child, baseball was the #1 activity. We would
play at the sandlot across the street, next to a church for hours. My brothers would kindly include me into
the game although I was a girlSmile We played for hours with other kids in the neighborhood also.
During one game, I was a pitcher. One of the batted balls landed on my forehead. Thus black eyes
for a few weeks. My mom was very patient with me.
Next door lived “Whitey Ford’s” grandma. He would visit her every so often. That was a magnificent
event. No, we did not talk to Whitey personally. The address we had lived at was on Madison Ave,
Garden City Park, New York.
Life was so uncomplicated, free, happy and safe and baseball was a huge part of it. We were happy kids.

PS: I shared this because of the Ken Burns DVD set. Oh, It is so enjoyable.
Thank you.

Just one more solid gold Ken Burns treasure.
1 of 1 found this helpful We have several of Ken Burns' amazing productions - Civil War; Baseball; Lewis & Clark and others. All are wonderful. But so far, Country Music is the most downright knee-slapping fun that we have ever seen. At 82, my wife and I have grown up with so many of these country artists and to see and hear them again plus learn about their family histories (like the Carter Family) is absolutely riveting. We both got tears in our eyes during these programs. EVERYTHING Ken Burns produces is solid gold and we are proud to have so many of his titles in our library. Can't wait to see the next one.
