Last night (Tuesday 12th Feb) on BBC 4 TV I noticed a program of Alison Krauss performing songs from a CD " A Hundred Miles or More" I like Alison Krauss so decided to record it. Using the wonderfull box of tricks which allows pausing live TV etc. I used the Electronic Program Guide, found the channel trawled across to the program and pressed record. Fool proof, no faffing about with start time and finish time. What could be easier? Just about everything else it would seem.

This morning I called it up to watch, to see that only 6 minutes had been recorded, ahhh devestation! Pressed play only to see Alison ending a song followed by the credits. I like to peruse the credits of programs, BTW, I admire the speed you Americans can read, the credits fly past at a terriffic pace, but with the pause button we don't need to develop our speed reading technique. I noticed on the song credits "Shadows" written by Gordon Lightfoot" I was now really miffed that the whole program was not recorded.

I see that Alison sings Shadows accompanied by Tony Rice on the DVD of A Hundred Miles or More, it does not seem to be on the CD.

Has anybody seen the DVD? If so does Alison do a good job? I assume that she does as she is an excellent singer.
