I don't know how old this show is, but I just stumbled across it this afternoon: For hundreds of years on the border between Scotland and Northern England, violence was a part of everyday life - and valiant deeds were celebrated in some of the most powerful story songs in the English language. Ellen Kushner explores the unique music and traditions of the Anglo-Scottish borderlands, and follows the way this rich and violent tradition helped shape the culture of America today. http://www.wgbh.org/programs/Sound--...ble-Lands-5095 As always, great stuff from Ellen Kushner! (Running time about 60 min.)
