Review of A Well-Spent Life

This short documentary is about Mance Lipscomb, a country Blues guitarist who was discovered when he was in his 60s. Despite some fame and money from the sale of his albums, he was a very simple man and enjoyed his lifestyle. The film consists of Lipscomb just talking and reminiscing about his life...with no narration or much in the way of structure. Now this makes for a somewhat dull film, I'll admit it. But I STILL am glad they made "A Well-Spent Life" because it's a historical document of the man, his times and a lost way of life. And, as a retired history teacher, this alone would recommend this picture.
