To avoid confusion, 00:00 Wednesday is Tuesday night  ;-)

Looks like they are only going to transmit this single programme
from the series.

Chris

Unfortunately I missed 09/09, but there's still 16,23,30/09, so that
looks like the series to me.

Well...

Booker T ain't no horse.

I was wondering that myself.

On a similar theme, I see there's another Transatlantic Sessions
starting on Friday.

I know nothing about Booker T Jones, but wondered the same after
reading the next paragraph...

: Eddi Reader, John Martyn, Karine Polwart and Justin Currie

Well, having watched it all now ...

As others have already pointed, and as I had already pointed out to
myself, Booker T is yet another non-folk act booked by Cambridge FF.
Liked the last two tunes though.

The programme about Scottish music was dire.  Too much pretentious
talk and too little music, and what little there was of the latter was
constantly interrupted by the former.  I've cancelled the series
recordings.

All part of the standard BBC niche expansion principle.  Increase 
audiences for special-interest output by putting someone irrelevant but 
known in a programme that few people would otherwise watch - et voila! 
Lots more people tune in....although the original target audience has 
evaporated. BBC then fends off complaints that the already-minimal 
special interest coverage has been further diluted by pointing out that 
more people were watching/listening, which must, of course, be a success.

Hence the continuing over-exposure of ASSs on four-eyes' R2 prog.

Four-eyes, I take it, is Mike 'oooh that's the best album ever' Harding.

ASSs, however, escapes me - who they?

Precisement, my old fruity.

And for your delectation tonite - Yee-Har! It's Loooocinda Will-yums!!

If I may quote....

" Sittin' in the kitchen in a house in Macon
Loretta's singing on the radio
Smell of coffee eggs and bacon
Car wheels on a gravel road
Pull the curtains back and look outside
Somebody somewhere I don't know
Come on now child we're gonna go fo' a ride
Car wheels on a gravel road
Car wheels on a gravel road
Car wheels on a gravel road
Can't find a damn thing in this place
Nothin's where I left it before
Set of keys and a dusty suitcase
Car wheels on a gravel road
There goes the screen door slamming shut....."

Just need a dead hound dog, a bottle of moonshine and a '57 Chevy pickup 
for the full hand of cliches.

The BBC, yet again hoping that if it ignores indigenous music, it will 
go away and not spoil their schedules. Note that, in order to draw an 
audience to the programmes, they fail to mention in the RT listing if 
there is anyone else on the bill - and I, for one, am not going to watch 
the programme purely in hope!

....oh, and, by the way, Ms Williams - it's the tyres...sorry, 
tires...that are on the road.  If the wheels are touching, you have a 
problem.
