Nice mix of music, Bruce. I enjoyed the show. I very much liked Pauline Alexander's Fields of Gold. Also the harmonica track with the Highland Express, too fast and long for my lungs. :roll:

There was a bit where I was a bit - what’s the word - unprepared - my daughter and my wee grandson turned up unexpectedly, so they were sitting out the back door, and I was running up and down the stairs every few minutes!

Not too many local connections in that one, other than the track by the Leonard Brown all-stars. Liam Stewart, who was playing keys, teaches in Saltcoats.

Thanks, Bruce.
Downloaded the program and will listen later. But I did a fast forward to Dougie MacLean's Ashokan Farewell. Loved it - wife picked up her ears as it's a favourite of hers too. I've said before if ever there was a tune that could be a theme to a documentory of the Highland clearances this would be it - and oddly composed by a Jew from the Bronx. Pity, it's been used to great effect already for the American Civil War documentary by Ken Burns.
