August 4, 2019, I started a thread on this forum expressing my concerns that Jim Reeves music and history would be completely ignored or slighted, in the upcoming Ken Burns Country Music Documentary.

It turns out my suspicions were correct.

Later investigation revealed that one of the contributors to the documentary was Marty Stewart who proved himself, not to be a Jim Reeves fan, in voice overs in later releases of various "examples" of Country Music. Those comments minimized Jim Reeves and promoted lesser artists.

There was a thread in this forum covering this finding as well.

Burns, who fancies himself an "expert" on everything, received his "higher education" at Hampshire College in Amherst Massachusetts.

Hampshire College is a radically liberal institution with questionable values, and teaching methods. They have made nationwide news in the past, for their anti police and other anti establishment views.

Burns has almost single handedly supported Hampshire College monetarily, whose student population is historically miniscule.

The party is over for this scam institution. A recent news release reports that this is Hampshire College's last semester. They report having 600 students, but I think 6 would be more accurate.

The reason I post this is because Burns did a tune on Jim Reeves legacy with a faulty substandard documentary which accurately reflects the substandard education he received from, a flawed institution he promoted to this day, as well as his "knowledge" and "expertise".

Now on to happier things!
