Calling Absent Friends
MY Scots blood boils with indignation that 4YA’s_ recently established Scottish session Calling All Scots, should be timed to clash with 4YC’s Review, a programme not ashamed at times to devote itself to the cultivation of the in-. tellect. The implication appears to be_ that the Scots will not be interested inthe subjects dealt with in Review, an unwarranted aspersion on a race traditionally associated with a love of learning. Or is to be regarded as a blow at Scottish prestige, dealt by the hand of the Little Enemy still in our midst? At all events, such a clash of sessions might well produce irritating results, not only to those of us who enjoy listening |
to the soft accents of William Brown and are interested in most things Scottish, but to all who would like to see the Scottish session reflecting with some breadth Scottish interests. Unless Calling All Scots is to rely on the products of the Scottish music-halls, and it shows no signs of doing this at present, and avoids the use of Scottish music and poetry, which would be regrettable, the clash between the two sessions will become even more pronounced than at present, and should be avoided if at all possible.
