Thanks to Lani for alerting me to Seth's Buried Treasure project. And thanks to Seth for being a fine creative connective catalyst.
"digging deep to uncover some hidden gems....re-post one (or more) of their favorite posts..." - you get his idea.
On 3.3.2007, I posted:

"Traditional + Melodius"
Two lovely clips of
Scottish women-singing-beautifully-together-while-they-work:
'Eriskay - A Poem of Remote Lives',1935 (with film notes), and
'Western Isles',1942 (with film notes).

Those two exquisite short vids still make my heart sing (with an ancestral yearning bass note too),
and I'm glad of an invitation to flap them around again.
There are more of my hidden gems easily-clickable in my select posts archive.
I haven't updated it for a while - so if you've arrived here via the project and are in the mood to dig; the traditional, if not quite so melodius, "Next' link at the foot of the page may bring some more gems to surface...
Thanks for your visit!
Other folks' repostings links to be found over at the altered page.
