It's not the national repeat, but instead is one of k.d. lang and Jane Siberry. Just before the show our local PBS station broadcast a parental discretion advised notice. I haven't noticed this before on other Sessions programs, though I may have just missed it. Have any other stations started doing this? Perhaps it's isolated to this particular epidsode, but still it's tough to picture a PBS station issuing a parental discretion warning for a music program. just a little curious Tom Mink ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 18 Jan 1998 03:30:18 -0600 From: kerrywhite@webtv.net (kerry white) Subject: re: sessions Hi, at least 2 sessions' were fed in censored and open feeds. Joe Jacson and Tricky. Local stations made up their own minds. Any warnings are up to them, too. The only thing from "PBS" is the "PG" bug in the upper corner. I'll let you know when repeats are over and [most of] the stations follow the feed.

The Siberry/Lang show was broadcast by Maine Public TV last Saturday night, and no parental warnings whatsoever- Perhaps they feel that at midnight, none should be neccesary? The only warnings I recall seeing here have been for shows like NOVA when they're dealing with potentially touchy subjects like sexuality or when frank language is involved, and those are usually during prime time.

Though I did, of course, to get it earlier. I just went back and played their first one, _Silver_Apples_of_the_Moon_, and was once again stunned. I think I still like that one more than _SotS_, but not by much. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 18 Jan 1998 19:11:14 -0500 From: "Kathy Clark and/or Ed Clark" Subject: Re: Musings of a Creekdipper two reviews -- long) > From: Riphug > To: fte@yoyo.cc.monash.edu.au; ecto@smoe.org; harbinger@smoe.org > Subject: Musings of a Creekdipper two reviews -- long) > Date: Saturday, January 17, 1998 9:43 AM > > From the Borders Salon website: > > < Victoria Williams' new "Musings of a Creekdipper" is a sonic companion to > Annie Dillard's "Pilgrim at Tinker Creek," a meditation Dillard wrote in the > early '70s on the natural world surrounding her home in Virginia's Blue Ridge > Mountains... On the strength of this alone, I _have_ to get this CD. "Pilgrim at Tinker Creek" is one of my all-time favorite books, and if VW's musical look at the world is anything like Annie Dillard's musings in writing, it must be sheer perfection. I hope those of you who already like Victoria Williams but aren't familiar with Annie Dillard are equally drawn by the comparison to experience her book.
