Billy Connolly's Great American Trail - Season 1 Episode 2
This week opens in Kearny, a place known as Little Glasgow where Billy discovers it was the Scots who brought football to America. Then it’s a pilgrimage to the Martin Guitar Company the factory that have built the guitars for some of the biggest rockstars on the planet, including Billy’s hero Hank Williams. From there it’s on to the tiny town of Stockbridge, home to America’s greatest artist, Norman Rockwell and the muse whose bottom appeared on thousands of copies of the Saturday Evening Post. Don’t say Billy doesn’t take you anywhere nice, next up it’s the Eastern State Penitentiary that was once America’s most notorious prison and the one time residence of legendary gangster Al Capone. From there Billy heads to the boardwalk of Atlantic City, the city that was Vegas before Vegas was famous. Followed by Billy tinkling the irons of the world’s largest musical instrument that just happens to be underneath a car park. It’s the 50th anniversary of Woodstock this year and there’s never been a better time to meet some veterans of peace, love and understanding at the site of the greatest rock concert on earth. Billy ends the episode with a clog dance at Floyd County Store in the Appalachian mountain range.
