88 - He led a long, rich, fruitful life. Great article, I learned a lot about Dick! Your link is behind a payall, I used this one that was not (by googling DW). https://www.bostonglobe.com/2024/02/01/arts/dick-waterman-blues-appreciation/ ... which course looks like the same link. ::)
As always, thanks for posting Stuart.

Hi Slack: I got there via Google as well and didn't encounter a paywall, so I wasn't aware it would be an obstruction. One of the pieces I saw mentioned "Two Trains Runnin'" which is available at PBS (if you're a subscriber).

Sorry to read this. R.I.P Dick Waterman.

Stuart, I haven't seen it - will check it out.

It looks like there are two versions of the film, the original release that has a 1 hour 20 minutes runtime and the PBS version for its "Reel South" series that has been edited down to 56 minutes. It appears the latter is free, but the original is only available via the subscription services.

I watched the PBS version last night without signing in. I'm looking forward to watching the full version.
