Just watched this [uninterrupted] rerun of Excellence.
Ken Burns is a genius who knows exactly why and how to give credit.
[memorable quote/paraphrase regarding all those who help him share near perfection]:
(in regard to the team of artists who are willingly conducted by him)

This is what Ken Burns Said.
"When it goes right it's 'Us' . . .
[in regard to the team of artists he conducts] . . .
"When it goes wrong it's 'Me'."

Characteristic of Leadership, I'd guess . . .
Sorta' Abrahamlincolnesque . . . if ya' think about it. =)

I've often thought: There are no new thoughts. We are all compilers.

Ken Burns is The Compilers' Compiler.
And one of the best Artist/Composers ever.

Translation: Ken Burns is a brilliant man and artist who has proven time after time that it is possible to recreate history from still photographs, and, in so recreating history, revisioning a future that is beneficial to all if we pay attention to the mistakes of the past. I, personally, appreciate OETA providing the free lecture.

yup....sortalike
and DustBowlian as well.

P.S. (to the point) (vis-à-vis Abrahamlincolnesque =)
Certainly not the best rendition of the concept . . .
Yet better versions can be Googled. The version I heard first was on a cassette tape.
Studio version. Prior to the animated and edited '86 version, below . . . =)
