http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNFi-nOZlAI This was included in Something Understood last Sunday early morning (and late night) and I thought it sounded lovely at 6.00 sunny am ..... so as they say, I thought I'd 'share' ..... ![]() It was a nice Something Understood imo ..... about valuing the past. http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b036jc3w/Something_Understood_Keeping_the_Past_Alive/ "Samira Ahmed considers the value of reviving, re-examining and re-connecting with the past. She explores the significance of bringing back lost traditions, values, stories and memories in order to re-experience them in the present. Brandyn Shaw is a young man who is recreating a 1930's life for himself in the 21st Century. He dresses in period clothes, sings Al Bowlly songs in 30's clubs and he even has an iron from the 1930's to get his shirts properly starched. For Brandyn, this is a life of escape into what he perceives as a gentler way of living. So, can the past teach us lessons to address the challenges of the present? Or can it only offer moments of rose tinted, historical escapism? The programme includes John Agard's poem John Edmonstone, Old Tongue by Jackie Kay and Nostalgia by Billy Collins. Plus music by Perotin, Joan Baez and Kate Rusby." Edited by caissier, Jul 11 2013, 07:48 PM.
