“Jann Scott traveled Route 66 from 1993 to 2003 in this 22 part series produced for public television. He went to virtually every city and town along rt66 and interviewed many of the road legends and regular people who still live along the Mother road. Some are gone now. Yet these interviews are historic. Sometimes whacky or serious Jann Scott is a professional broadcaster and Journalist. These are old videos and the quality can be tricky but the history is there.
