Title: Story ok, Music great
Product review: I missed "A Mighty Wind" in the theater so I purchased the DVD. Am I glad I did! The story was ok, but I really enjoyed the music. I find myself watching the PBN concert feature often because of the music. The New Main Street Singers remind me so much of the Serendipity Singers from the Folk music era. Both groups featured an ensemble of 7 men and 2 ladies. Diane and Lynne always wore matching outfits as Jane Lynch and Parker Posey did in the movie. The Serendipity Singers were known for novelty tunes like "Don't Let The Rain Come Down" and "Beans In My Ears". "Potato's In The Paddywagon" reminds me of those songs. The Folksmen successfully combined elements of the Kingston Trio and the Limelighters. Christopher Guest did a good imitation of Glenn Yarbrough. Eugene Levy and Catherine O'Hara captured the Ian and Sylvia sound.I always enjoy movies where the actors perform their own music. The actors in "A Mighty Wind" did it well!
