Hi, it is a great documentary. It is called 'The Good Times Are Killing Me', and can be found by typing that 'Mediaburnarchive' and 'Nathan Abshire' in to Google. I would like to add that in these so called enlightened times, the genre 'Blues' is rendered to widely and incorrectly, I don't think it applies here. Thanks for the comment.

check out the old PBS documentary These Blues are Killing Me (I think that's the title); sad, inspiring, wonderful. Nathan was amazing.
