The thing on Doc Watson was interesting, he was singing pure unaccompanied English folk!! I'm going to learn Ralph Stanley's 'Oh Death' for the next 'acoustic night' I go to...! now where can you get a 3 fingered banjo in Warwickshire? |

[its digital only, sky, freeview etc]. |

Next week they start repeating the seven films in the Martin Scorsese series on the blues (Apparently he invented it/them). I believe they are showing on successive nights, they do include some crap, the Blind Willie Johnson section and the UK section in particular but there is still much good music to be heard. All of the above have yet to be repeated on BBC terrestial channels meaning that many who pay for the BBC via their licence fee are unable to view them. Hoot |
