Episode eight [Country Music: A Film by Ken Burns]: Becca Stevens of Thistle Farms in Nashville tells a story about one of the graduates of the program who travels with her and others to promote their body/bath healing products. Some of these women had been on the streets never leaving a mile radius for years, then are flying on planes and visiting other cities. They visit an ocean beach on a trip and one of the women standing on the sand and watching the waves in an epiphany says something like “Has this been here all along!”
Dwight Yoakam in the final episode of Ken Burns’ documentary tells about as a young child singing across his grandma’s holler a song with the word beer in it not knowing what it meant, and about to be scolded, when someone from the other side of the holler hollers back, “Sounds good.” He was in Floyd County, Kentucky near Route 23, same county as genetic 23, on this planet in its 23 degree tilt, and watching it—and all these sixteen hours of musical documentary—feels something like that Thistle Farmer looking at the ocean: How could it have been here and not known all this life long?
