  I truly want to know if any of these performers are on the BANJO HANGOUT.

If they are not in the BANJO HANGOUT; they certainly need to be 

I WANT NAMES!!!

I found a more full-length version of the “Country Music” trailer on a/the Bank of America website, with short bios of the musicians. (BoA is one of the series sponsors, I gather.) Sorry, I don’t know how to post a link here. But if you Google some semblance of the above, I’m sure you can locate it.

The last guy is obviously Dom Flemons, and I think that’s Amethyst Kiah before him. A couple of the others look familiar, but i’m blanking on the names.

All I can say is WOW! This is one of the best I have ever seen ! Ken Burns did an above outstanding job putting this together . There are many facts about these artists I did not know . I have watched the episodes and their replays . Every time I watch them I learn something new. I have ordered the series to watch when I can . I am spell bound each time I watch it. Thanks Ken and keep up the great work.

OK... Take away my "man card" if you wish, but last night's finale really hit home in several ways. Some background:

I was at Keith Whitley's last concert, could have been one more the next night, but it was just a couple of days before he died.

My cousin worked for Mel Tillis as a nanny to his adopted daughter for several years and remained a close friend of his up until his death and attended his memorial at the Ryman.

One of my musical heroes was Johnny Cash who I never got to meet and regret it. My cousin did get to meet him and June at Mel's theater one time and was awed by his presence. I can only imagine.

I met Vince Gill at a Nashville Predators hockey game back in the 90s and found him to be a really great guy.

Sooo... the segment about "Go Rest High on that Mountain" and Vince's breakdown at George Jones' memorial brought me to tears. Then Rosanne Cash told the story of her duet with her father on "I Still Miss Someone" hit home. And then Marty Stuart's comments about his return to the roots of country music along with his photos of Bill Monroe, Ricky Skaggs on the future of bluegrass, and Vince's comments put me over the edge.

Given that 100 years of Country Music was supposed to be summed up in 16 hours of television time, I feel Burns and crew did a great job. And I'm sure the soundtrack will soon be in my collection.

I guess I have to find the long version.

It's right there on the Bank of America page at the link I posted above.  The video appears under the headline: "Wagon Wheel," sung by artists across America, shows us that nothing connects the country like country.

But here's a direct link to it

Please excuse the off-topic question, but how do you make a watchable video from another site appear in the body of a Forum post?  I know how to do a photo, but every attempt to do a video -- using the "embed" code I copy from YouTube -- fails.  I know I'm doing something wrong, but I have no idea what. If you could give a step-by-step, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks.

Well i found the tune in YouTube.

Open the "SHARE" option in YouTube

Open the "EMBED" option and "COPY" the address

When you go to post the video into your Banjo Hangout message;

Choose the "RICH TEXT" tab and on the far right menu options choose "SOURCE"

a different window will open and then "PASTE" your copied address into the window.

(always a good idea to PREVIEW your selection)

and "POST"
