Narrated by Garrison Keillor, Emmy-nominated "The Hayloft Gang: The Story of the National Barn Dance" tells the story of a changing America through the lens of one of the nation's most popular country music radio shows during the 1930s and 40s: the National Barn Dance. The one-hour documentary weaves rare performance footage, home movies, and candid photographs with first-hand accounts from fans and performers.
