Been singing along, though a couple of the cats have looked at me funny, and one jumped off my lap with a look of disgust and ears back, lol.

Not sure how the sound is for you, but on my t.v. the sound is going from being really loud to almost nonexistent.

Also a fan of his father, folk singer Loudon Wainwright III who appeared as the singing soldier in several episodes of M*A*S*H in the early 70's. I've been watching on my laptop and the sound has been occasionally inconsistent, but mostly fine.

I wonder why they didn’t have Jesse Welles there. He sings some great protest songs.

Somehow the subtitles didn't work well. so I missed a lot of the dialog. It was as if the subtitler would fall asleep then wake up. You would get 1/2 of the sentence or paragraph, then it would quit and pick up a few sentences later with nothing in between.
