6966, Tuesday's episode was great

The Memphis music scene is looked at at a lot of different angles, but with tonight's movie you got a sense that you were entering their world, being welcomed to their neighborhood, and getting a chance to see and hear their stories and experiences. I've heard of Rosco Gordon's name only in passing, but now I want to hear more. Are there any compilations gathering the blues side of Sun Records, maybe some 4CD box set on Bear? I would like to hear some.

Watching the live footage, I was wondering if there are any rappers who are doing the exact same thing, or is it just "whenever the money is good, we'll be there"?

It was cool to see Rufus Thomas and I liked how they tapped into his early career as a radio DJ.
