I can identily with you.......when I sewed costumes for Shakespeare I listened to Camelot; for Oklahoma I listened to its score; for Smoke of the Mountain I listened to old time hymns. etc. Sure gets me in the mood. :)

BBC 4 is very interesting! It comes free on my computer 24 hours a day live from England. Just ask GOOGLE for BBC 4. Sometimes it will ask to install a free player, but usually it works with the already installed player.
I just love the shipping weather forcast! If any of you have ever seen the PBS series "As Time Goes By" you will know what it is! LOL

When our daughter was in college in Stirling, Scotland and when our son taught at Imperial college, London we listened and watched BBC. We still tune in. I always liked the weather reports where they told about "an odd spot of mist". :)
