I thought you sounded a little phlegmy... But it's kind of a blues voice, so it works.

Well, this is how pneumonia sounds, sorry to say. But I do loves the deep voice!

Pneumonia! Damn! I thought it was just allergies. Be careful of walking pneumonia... remember Jim Hensen...

True story: Jim Henson lived up the street from me when I was a kid. For a while Henson was our paper boy!

doug, I'm picturing you weaving and bobbing along with the reggae, tea w/honey and lemon in one hand, Alka Seltzer Cold Plus in the other, the music weaving through the cottony brain cells...
you're the velvet fog today!

Definitely weaving. Bobbing not so much.

This has been beautiful. Why did you have to play this right before 11:00? When do I get to go to the bathroom?

Dear listeners, please keep the comments coming throughout the next hour. And don't forget to email me comments about the documentary. I will forward them to the producer. Enjoy!

Sorry to hog the space, but listening to this Alabama section draws the Christopher Paul Curtis book for young people, "The Watsons Go to Birmingham - 1963" irresistably to mind. Everyone touched by the knowledge of what happened that day in Birmingham, whether or not you have school age children (but especially if you do) shold read this compelling, richly detailed novel.

That Alabama passage with the MLK eulogy has been running in mind every since '01 when I first heard this documentary. Coming up later in this segment, there is a fascinating overdubbing of a singer "performing" Coltrane's poem on the Love Supreme record along with Coltrane playing the last section of A Love Supreme. Amazing stuff.

Doug...Drape a towel over your head and lean over a vintage radio while this documentary is on. Breathe deeply. Repeat weekly.

Like N. Guinea, I'm 2 installments late to the party. This is fantastic! I can't understand why this is only the second time it has aired. This should be more available.

I will do everything I can to help the producer convince those who need to be convinced to allow this documentary to be released commercially. If the opportunity to rebroadcast it for the archive ever arises, I will run again so it can be archived for posterity. Your positive comments (emailed to me, and forwarded to the producer) may be helpful in this regard.

I loved the singer performing the poem...

Doug, you are a superior programmer. I love your show, but this Coltrane show goes beyond good disk jockeying to a major public service. I can't believe that this has not been broadcast regularly, or is not available on CD. Thanks so much!!

I now perhaps understand a little more why it is often uncomfortable to listen to Coltrane's music. I adore him but there is something truly beyond music alone that is going on. This is often in conflict with or simply at odds with a more mundane intention of "listening to some tune" His voice is rich indeed. His pursuit is universal.

I have been dying to hear this documentary again for six years. It is a deep and sublime pleasure to be able to share it with you.

OK, wait, can you give me the full name? I want to send the refernce to my brother, who will also want to hear it.
