    I'm not a salesman for PBS but if you miss an episode or two or three, the
    whole series can be purchased either on VHS or DVD. It's really tough, to
    catch a series like this in order and in it's entirety after it airs. For
    me, it will be eye and ear candy and perpetually on the screen for my infant
    son Thelonious. Considering how much money I spend on imported music, the
    series is a steal at about $180 for a 10-DVD set. The VHS is considerably
    less expensive.

    Off/on topic, I was skeptical about DVDs and going 100% DVD but there seems
    to be a concerted effort to put lots of music related documentaries and/or
    concerts onto DVD and not VHS. For example, there's a DVD for Stevie
    Wonder's Songs of The Key Of Life with working-in-the-studio footage. Same
    with Jimi Hendrix. Also there's a DVD available of Air's concert and "behind
    the scenes"/on the road footage. Of the DVDs I own so far, Sun Ra, Pink
    Floyd's The Wall, Stevie, Jimi, Stevie Ray Vaughn...anymore recommendations
    out there?

    What secret is there in music which attracts all those who listen to it? It
    is the rhythm which is created. It is the tone of that music which tunes the
    soul, and raises it above the depression and despair of everyday life in this
    world. If one knew what rhythm is needed for a particular individual in his
    trouble and despair, what tone is needed, and to what tone that person's soul
    should be raised, then one could heal a
    person with music.
