Title: Brianfest announced on CBS Sunday Morning
Post by: Debbie Keil-Leavitt on March 29, 2015, 07:28:50 AM
CBS Sunday Morning just gave a very nice promo for Brianfest on its Calendar of next week-s up-coming events.  They gave it a decent amount of time and a nice description of the event.  It honored Brian nicely.  Cool.

Hi all,

Is there a link to this somewhere?

This is the link to the show.

You seem to be able to listen to the different segments of today's show on this page.  The calendar for the up-coming week is announced near the end of the show (last 10 min, I think), so if you can get the whole show, you can probably see it.

Glad to hear. But man, it saddens me to think these all could be Beach Boys fests and events and appearances. Well, bygones.

I saw it this morning, as well. Very cool. Even without Brian Fest, CBS Sunday Morning is classy, quality TV show, week in and week out.

Caught that on the show and was slightly amused to see them focus on Dennis when they showed a pic of the BBs during the story.

We're regular viewers. I wish CBS Sunday AM would start posting their nature moments online again.

Yeah, as far as the focus on Denny in the one clip - he was front and center in that BB group photo and the frame was narrow, so...

Thanks so much for posting that.  I believe when CBS Sunday Morning started, it was when the news department at CBS was really the showpiece of the network, so they asked the head of the department what he would like most to do, and the result was this show.  They've stayed pretty true to the high quality segments and the focus on the arts and culture.  It's been like this for decades and I keep discovering people who have watched it loyally for about that long.

This drove me crazy last night, Debbie, not being able to remember the title of the show that predated Sunday Morning...  (It hadn't been that many years since I'd had a long discussion with a fellow who directed many of their episodes).  Exactly as I knew would happen, I woke up with the name this morning - it was called CAMERA THREE  http://www.emmytvlegends.org/interviews/shows/camera-three

This director was amazed at how well I had recalled the show, (again, this was a few years ago), however, the show exposed me to so many great facets of the arts I might never have known of otherwise.  Heck, I saw my first Broadway play, "The Roar of the Greasepaint" because of this show!  This director told me that the series was the darling of CBS founder William S. Paley, and that was the reason that it had lasted for so long.
