The Folk America program on BBC4 tonight was excellent - lots of great archive footage. iPlayer if you didn't see it - lots o fine banjo. I wasn't taken by the concert show after though. The Joe Bussard should be interesting.

I have already seen the pilots of the crashed plane in NYC described as "heroes" in several places. Now, in no way do I wish to do the pilots down - they saved a lot of lives with their skill - but I don't think they are heroes. They did the job they were trained to do (part of which is not to panic in emergencies which you or I would do) in a superlative fashion but that is not heroic. Heroism is about doing something you could avoid doing but do anyway. Another word being devalued.

Listening to the Flying Burrito Brother's Live in Amsterdam 1972. Oh how I do wish I could have been at that concert. Simply wonderful : Byron Berline, Roger Bush, Alan Munde in the version of the band and Don Beck on the pedal steel. You could not conceive of a band playing that kind of music to that kind of audience now-a-days either.
