Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat?
A while ago I found stuff that inspired me to make this film:
Living Under the Shadow of the Nuclear Umbrella
Both artistic (ensure you get the background music!) and educational, it primarily comprises official British government civil defence advice.
Though source materials are quite aged, much remains relevant today.

My thumb has healed, so next time we'll actually get to pick some together. Still envious about that banjo lesson ya got from Don Reno. Gotta run the stills about to blow again ...dang cheap pressure valves!!
Thanks for considerin' us musical compadres! Hope to see ya down the road!
Me and my friend, Sam, decided to visit awhile tonight. He doesn’t know much about wagon wheels ... so I thought this was the best place to educate him ;) Y’all are still beautiful as ever! Thanks so much for keeping this loopy-fruity Georgia gal on board :)
Love the vocal on Pack Up Your Sorrow. I love the singers voice. Not sure which of you it is.
Anyway, just wanted to say thanks for being friends with us and for keeping in touch. I think the social network at Myspace works best when we are all social eh? ;-)
