Leslie, you're correct in pointing out the fact that Bob Byler should have been one of the consultants for the series. The omission of so many of the RAG'S writers was a mistake. And there are so musicians who can speak about the music as eloquently as they play it. Where were THESE "talking heads?" You have mentioned some specific names earlier, but the point needs to be made again. I can imagine what this documentary would have been like had Thompson, Dapogny, Grosz, Hadlock, Leigh, Jones, Powers a.o. been part of the research and presentation!
