Another tribute to the greatest biographer of all times, James Boswell, and to his mentor Dr.Johnson, this time focusing on Boswell's great gift of emotional memory - his wonderful capacity and gift for perfect recollection of the little everyday details of human nature: something he constantly applied to his friendship with the Doctor, cherishing and storing away in his memory box the precious memory of almost a lifetime together - exactly what makes his biography so great, in the end. Song is by the wonderful Prefab Sprout.
What a joy it is to encounter someone at YouTube who has both the good taste and the skill to combine James Boswell, Samuel Johnson and Paddy McAloon in the same exquisitely executed video. Utterly fabulous. (Jim Williams, sproutnet online)

Wow, Jim, thank you so much, you don't know what it means to me to have somebody actually appreciate this kind of work that I try to do and say it with such kind words... and of course I love Prefab Sprout and have always done - sproutnet's always been among the channels I often used to browse here on youtube, and I'm so happy to meet you here!!!
