OT: One of Butch's sayings

[Guest guest]

I was watching a great movie the other day - The Songcatcher - and someone

mentioned something was 'finer than frog's hair'. I always knew what Butch

meant when he wrote that, but this is the first time I ever heard it out of

someone's mouth.

 

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.http://member.newsguy.com/~herblady
