PBS series: My Music with Rhiannon Giddens
just showed first episode last week and is replaying this week.

I have been a fan of Rhiannon Giddens since she was a member of the Carolina Chocolate Drops, almost 20 years ago. Last year I saw the opera that premiered at the Spoleto Festival in Charleston --Omar--which she co-wrote with Michael Abels, that has just been awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Music.

She is a phenomenal talent. I just watched the first episode of the PBS series and I heartily recommend it.
