Its a win/win thing. What am I talking about you ask? Has the heat withered your already addled brain? (No I got the air fixed so its not the heat – see previous post if confused). A new recording is being released entitled Nelson Mandela’s Favorite African Folktales. A portion of the proceeds from sales of this CD will go to helping South African children who have been orphaned and/or impacted by HIV/AIDS. The CD features narrations of these folktales by artists such as Gillian Anderson, Hugh Jackman, Helen Mirren, Don Cheadle, Samuel L. Jackson and Alan Rickman. Here go to this site African Folktales to listen to excerpts of these narrations. This only serves as further proof that Mr. Rickman should be doing more audio work – i.e., a CD of poems – John Donne in particular his poem, Song (you know… Go and Catch a Falling Star… here I refer you to my previous post about that. The whole poem is there for your perusal.
Oh, and I saw this and got the link form the Alan Rickman Download Haven
