That was a rather good movie. Before the internet, Americans didn't know as much about life in the U.K. (and vice versa) as we do now.
Sidney Poiter in the starring "teacher" role.
Robin Schulz & Richard Judge, "Show Me Love"
It's funny; I only checked in on this↱ because I have a thing for another song↱ Schulz did, and, well, the stylistic overlap is apparent. Don't get me wrong, it's a good track. And the video is fun. Enjoy.

While looking for possible ipod things I stumbled on this. Turns out the source of 'Cotton picking blues' is one Elizabeth Cotten. I am ashamed to find that it has taken nearly 50 years to find out that the musical style I have most sought to emulate originated from a black American woman working as a cleaner. I don't think my own accidental or deliberate racism can be entirely blamed for this ignorance for the last 50 years - I may be a racist but I also try to be fair - on a good day I hope 'fair' wins out over 'racist' but this is of no account in the face of endemic racism.
