The River People
This evening we'll be drifting down rivers together: it might be on the currents of the Mississippi or the Mohawk, or maybe on the Trent or the Tagus, or perhaps swept along the Rhone or Rhine. Or possibly none of these.
We'll hear artists from Ontario, Quebec, Europe, the Caribbean and the States all of whom have lived near and/or been influenced by rivers.
*As always here at "Bedtime Stories" you're invited to use the interactive section at any time to suggest or recommend tunes written on the subject of rivers for future shows.

Good evening everyone, Maybe you've been out for a stroll today along the canal or somewhere with a view of the local rivers. One of these will get a mention in the show tonight. If you're up'n'about still please do come into the listening room (here) and say "hi" :-)
