Guest guest Posted December 18, 2002 Report Share Posted December 18, 2002 Anya [mccoy] [snipped] Gotta talk about the movie. It's the true story of a musicologist who, in the early 1900s, travels to Appalachia and discovers that the people there have a song culture, and that the songs are unchanged from England, Ireland and Scotland 200-300 years previously. Pure and unevolved, a historical find. The voices of the actors, and their accents are fabulous. You really feel you are *there*. I've rarely seen such a well-done movie, full of interesting and believable characters. It was on HBO, which I'm getting free until the 20th, but I have no way of knowing if it's going to be on there again, as I wish I had taped it. If you ever see it listed, watch, you'll love it, I guarantee.------------ LOVED that movie!!! It's available on tape, BTW -- we rented it to watch at home. Here are a couple of reviews: http://www.nyjournalnews.com/reviews/rev_songcatch_2001.html http://www.vanguardrecords.com/Songcatcher/movie.html The movie is available for sale, as is the soundtrack. Butch, if you're truly interested, I'd be happy to acquire & ship. Jeanine, in cold and cloudy Seattle --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
