Tardy Tuesday
Apologies for being late today. School run plus interview with director Werner Herzog equals chasing your tail for a few hours. He has filmed a 3D film in the caves of the Ardeche in the south of France. The Chauvet cave is closed to the public to preserve the paintings from 32,000 years ago but Herzog was allowed to make this record of what is down there and the results are astonishing. I asked him about being shot while being interviewed on camera by Mark Kermode a few years back. "It was nothing. An Arabesque."
Once extracted from there, he we are with a lovely show in prospect as Alison Krauss is on the show. She has won a record 26 Grammy awards as a group with Union Station, with Robert Pant of course and as a producer. And the 'Oh Brother Where Art Thou'' is something else. Her new album is called 'Paper Airplane' and we'll discuss these matters after 6...
And with UNION STATION in mind, your choice of tunes on the subject of RAILWAY STATIONS in general. You know what to do.
Have a cool and fragrant Tuesday, see you after 5.
