I hope sanity and common sense will prevail in America Tuesday!! VOTE CLINTON! As America's first female president!

I’m with her I fervently hope that it will be Hillary Clinton who is sworn in as 45th President of the United States in January and who returns to the White House, this time not as First Lady but as America’s first female leader.

The song Freedom Come All Ye was a fitting choice at the Commonwealth Games Glasgow 2014 opening ceremony as the song speaks of winds of change and sweeping away exploitation and imperialism - and looks to an inclusive and co-operative future.

The song is a product of the 60s Scottish folk revival.
wonderful version here with Dick Gaughan who really understands what the words mean...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nLGKFTH5sw

Dougie Mclean - new album. Wow, just heard Dougie's song 'Caledonia' with the Scottish National Orchestra on Radio Scotland today. My son chose this song for his first dance, by miles best version I have heard, the orchestra adding that extra depth and richness. Summer 2013 saw Dougie recording an album with the RSNO (Royal Scottish National Orchestra) which will be released on Linn Records in 2014…in time for a special performance with the orchestra in Glasgow Royal Concert Hall in June 2014.

Worth watching BBC 2s 'Woman and Art ' - Women often found it hard to have their art seen. http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p01y6d4p/the-story-of-women-and-art-episode-3

BBC iPlayer - The Story of Women and Art - Episode 3 An exploration of the explosion in creative opportunities for women in the 20th Century. Western women demanded increasing roles in society, pushing art's boundaries even further.

I liked this comment on the power of images, by a journalist too. 'Understanding images. A good picture will always beat words, however beautifully crafted. Deal with it. ' Oh yes.
