“Three chords and the truth.”    That’s how songwriter Harlan Howard described country music.  And he ought to know.  He wrote lots of big hits and he’s in the Country Music Hall of Fame. Starting on PBS September15, Ken Burns’ 16-hour documentary Country Music  explores the history of a uniquely American art form, telling the stories of the legendary characters who shaped it:  the Carter Family, Hank Williams, Patsy Cline, Johnny Cash,  Loretta Lynn, Charley Pride, Dolly Parton and many more. Join VIA Public Media for a special free preview screening, Sunday, Sept. 8 at 3 PM at the Dietrich Theater.  Special guest Gary Carl will perform several selections and discuss storytelling through song.  VIA will give away prizes, including tickets for such Bloomsburg Fair concerts as The Oak Ridge Boys (Sept. 23) and Old Dominion (Sept. 26.) Free reservations for the Sept. 8 preview screening at www.wvia.org.
