So that this post isn't entirely wasted, is anyone else a fan of "Grateful Dawg" - more of a documentary based on the colaboration of David Grisman and Jerry Garcia. My favourite, however, has to be the live recording on DVD of Bela Fleck and the Flecktones. The band builds throughout the concert from banjo, bass, and Futureman's electronic drums, with the introduction of oboe, electric bassoon and various other wind instruments, steel drums, tabla and; yes, you've guessed it - Mongolian throat singing. Not very Scottish, admittedly, but superb musicianship, different and somewhat addictive.

Yeah, Grateful Dawg is great. I haven't seen it for a while, but I've got the DVD somewhere around here - must dig it out.

Another DVD I've got is Butch Baldasarri's Bluegrass Mandolin. I had the video, and then a student burned a copy for me. All you have to do is watch the DVD and you'll not only be able to play Bluegrass, but you'll be able to play it like Butch. Well, maybe...

One of my favourite movies was Heaven's Gate, which is routinely lambasted as one of the great disasters. To me, it's a thing of rare beauty. One scene stand out as being just the most wonderful scene in cinema:

• the roller skate dance
  

A cute scene in Cold Mountain is

• Ruby With the Eyes That Sparkle (aka Shove That Pig's Foot Further In the Fire)
  

Who can forget Deliverance? It's as contrived and unlikely as Hell, but it's still great!

• Banjo Duel
  

I seem to remember a good band scene from The Long Riders, but I can't find that one on YouTube.

The actual live concert of O' Brother - 'Down From The Mountain' compared by the great John Hartford and featuring Mike Compton is brilliant

Murray Lerner's 'Festival' is a fantastic document of the 60's Folk Revival featuring the amazing Blue Ridge Mountain Dancers.

The American PBS series 'American Roots Music' is a great document of US Acoustic music.....

Didn't think of youtube for the Flecktones concert - there is a good bit here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7eCuaSRf3g - I used to think that steel drums could only play the William Tell Overture! Great links by the way.

I forgot about Davy Graham in the film The Servant .......which I have on DVD.

No mando or guitar interest, but another great British B&W film is All Night Long with Patrick McGoohan on the drums! Brilliant film.
