Damn sniffling cold again. I was going to start a "no alcohol" regime this month but due to the fact that i have this cold i might postpone the regime til a bit later in the month.

I cannot understand the reasons why ITV has cancelled the excellent South Bank Show. It was a shining beacon for the arts on the commercial channel, and it seems philistine not to  renew it.  Where does Melvin Bragg go now?

The BBC still has plenty of arts related programmes and its BBC 4 channel is generally  essential viewing. Last Friday was the first part of a four week documnetary "Latin Music USA" which looks at the influence of latin music on American jazz and pop. The next instalment looks at the rise of salsa in the seventies and i for one cannot wait to see it,as i have quite a large selection of salsa LP's in my collection.
