How are you?


Thanks for asking.  I'm doing pretty well all things considered.  But some say that open heart surgery somehow changes one in neurological ways.  



While I don't agree, I do think it does change the way one sees one's place in the world, and the indistinct boundaries between life and death.



Don't know how else to put that, but maybe this casts some light.

We have two gentlemen in our congregation that have had the same surgery that you had..



They said similar things about the operation.

Austin City Limits has had the best of several genres and artists over the years .. It was great for me as I enjoys many genres and it mixed them up well





Which brings up my questions - Is it still in operation? If so what network?

 It does not show on my subscriptions .. just tested with "search" again & NADA



Used to be regular Saturday night fare on PBS

It's the longest running music show EVER, now in Season 46.  Still on PBS.



It's on hiatus at the moment due to COVID-19, and tapings thru at least June 15 have been canceled or postponed.  If you have a jones, though, the RS Rock n Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland has 40 years of shows archived and (one assumes) available for streaming, although I've not checked it out.



P.S.  Oh, and Rhiannon Giddens is a bloody genius who can hang musically with absolutely anyone and handle any styles.  She is so busy with projects she's already done the output of a 40 year career, yet she's probably still in her twenties.

Aw, Covid. That explains it .. Thanks



She is something else!!!

I searched for ACL and hall of fame connection - came up with following: (Answer is underlined)



"Austin City Limits" gifted the collection to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame but retains the ability to access and use the footage and other items as needed. The hall will digitize the entire collection, including associated documents. "The tapes are deteriorating," said KLRU President and General Manager Bill Stotesbery. "They will put them into proper storage, and they will be less prone to fire and deterioration."



"Austin City Limits" will continue adding materials from future episodes to the archive. The two organizations are still in the process of determining how the archived material will be made available for the public to view or access.



For nearly 40 years, "Austin City Limits" has helped put Austin on the map as a music town by showcasing high-caliber performers across a variety of genres. Willie Nelson performed on the pilot, which was taped on Oct. 14, 1974, and aired during the following year's PBS pledge drive. The show has endured, holding the record as the longest-running music program in American television history.



Leonard Cohen, Arcade Fire, Ray Charles and scores of other iconic musicians have performed on the show over the years. Bonnie Raitt, Mavis Staples and Philadelphia rock band Dr. Dog will tape episodes of the show's 38th season in upcoming weeks. "This program mirrors our mission and the music we celebrate," Stewart said.



In 2003, the National Endowment for the Arts awarded the National Medal for the Arts to "ACL," the only television program to earn that honor, and the show won an institutional Peabody Award earlier this year.
