Maybe these comments would be more effective if left on the HD web page or
Facebook page if they have one.

As I sorta predicted that it would be, tonight's PBS History Detectives
report and "research" on a Ku Klux Klan 78 record was a disappointment.
 
It was overwhelmingly a history of the resurrected Klan of the 1920s. 
 
The coverage of  Richmond IN's Gennett Records was superficial and I was
amazed that the "historian" on his visit to the Starr Gennett site didn't
even refer to the wonderful Walkway Of Stars immediately outside the old
factory building he was standing in!
 
Louis Armstrong's Gennett recording was fortunately mentioned., but nowhere
was there any reference to the huge variety of Gennett music, especially
early country. 
 
And forget about Richmond's Starr-Gennett Foundation or the Gennett Museum.
 
Pathetic.
