Believer

hi,
the new 1in20 is up on the abc dig site today.

1 hour of music in 20 minutes - believer

for ages i've described myself as a 'believer' and not really worried too much that I can't say for absolute sure what it is that i believe in. i take great pleasure and comfort in the act of believing...
i'm sure that could sound very weird.

i went to christian schools and grew up knowing all the stories about noah and moses and jesus. i had favourite stories (jesus turning the money-counting tables over and curing the 10 lepers).

i would never profess to know what the answers are to any part of the great religious debate. i have my theories, but i'm no theologian, but anyway, i have accrued a variety of interesting songs in my library of music that i have linked together here under the theme of 'believer'.

the play list is going to be put up here very soon, but in the meantime, i've built this blog site so that we have a place to talk about the programmes, should you wish to.

people have said to me that they've started to think about what they would have put in a show with whatever theme it was, and instead of just telling me and it stopping there, i thought, well, actually greta thought :) that a blog might be good, so...

if you have a response, a comment, an idea, a theory, a playlist of your own or any kind of feedback, i'd love to hear it

and thank you for listening (if indeed you have!)

Catchy

The new programme has gone up on abc.net.au/dig and once again, ferg has done a marvellous job sourcing images and links to go with it.

http://abc.net.au/dig

my friend greta suggested I start a blog for the programmes. Each new 1in20 seems to inspire my dearest friends to tell me what they would have put in their version of the programme!

I do spend a lot of time putting the playlists together and often will think "oh, blast, I could have included...", but I don't mind that it has that element of being organic and incomplete. I try to do my best, but if you have an opinion or would like to tell people what you thought of the programmes, please be my guest and do it here.

best,
