[Cary Ginell]

Burns knows virtually nothing about music and made no bones of that when he did his first fictional documentary, "Jazz."

>  The Sidewalks of New York ... which Ken Burns seems to think has "heart-breaking lyrics".  He's a strange person.  His NYC 
> history program used "The Last Rose of Summer" over and over and OVER again, played as slowly and depressively as possible 
> by a string quartet - making NYC seem to be the most depresso place in History and the World. (Wait- it was "Ric" Burns, 
> Ken's brother!  He's just as strange, then. Must run in the family.)

> ps - My Edison disc (and other old versions)  make Sidewalks of NY sound like a happy place.
