One of the longest threads on this site was posted August 4, 2019.

The main subject was the Ken Burns Country Music Documentary and the abysmal, negligent, coverage of Jim Reeves, and and his importance establishing The Nashville Sound, and spreading it world wide.

Burns, who fancies himself an expert on everything, apparently relied heavily on input from a small number of "Country Music Historians".

I was especially curios about the large amount of content by Marty Stuart, the dearth of Jim Reeves coverage, and Stuart's possible culpability.

Now, I think I have found an answer.

I discovered the Time Life 8 DVD set "Opry Video Classics" in a consignment store for $2.99. It is a very good collection.

Each DVD covered a separate subject in Country Music, but EVERY SINGLE ONE was introduced by Marty Stuart with comments about the performers.

Every DVD featured 15 performances by various artists.

Jim Reeves was featured in 2 DVD's "Legends" and "Honky-Tonk Heroes". Stuart doesn't mention Jim in the introduction of either DVD. It is a glaring omission.

Jim's September 9, 1962 performance of "Four Walls" is in the "Honky-Tonk Heroes" DVD where it does not belong.

The "Legends" DVD lists Jim performing "Tennessee Waltz", when in actuality his does the October 16, 1962 , melody including "He'll Have to Go" which should have taken prominence.

My conclusion is that since Time Life and Ken Burns both used Marty Stuart as a source in their offerings, and Jim is slighted in both, it is not a coincidence.

I think this answers the questions we had back in August 2019.
