It's ironic that this episode when it aired was dealing with nostalgia from a different day; I'm experiencing the nostalgia of this television series from my early childhood.
@billijean85 Is Billy Byrd your grandfather? this was one of my favorite on the road segments. You can tell that Mr. Byrd is or was a good and honest man. I loved the way that Charles Kuralt showcased the good hard working honest people of america and showed the world what a truely great people we americans are. thank you charles and a special thank you to billy byrd

I'd love to purchase the entire set of On the Road. What a great series I was too young to appreciate at the time.
