ON THE COVER INDEPENDENT LENS: young@heart This month, a brings you an extraordinary story about the unbreakable bonds of friendship and the life-affirming power of music. This film chronicles a chorus like no other. Some two-dozen strong, this group of seventy-, eighty- and even ninety-somethings belt out songs by rock groups and punk artists, such as the Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Sonic Youth and Talking Heads. But this film is about more than just a chorus; it is about a state of mind. Under the direction of Bob Cilman, who founded the group in 1982, Young@Heart has become a phenomenon not only in their home town of Northampton, Massachuset ts, but also in Europe, where they have given over a dozen concerts. When the chorus was first formed as an informal singing group the musical selections tended to be traditional – mostly show tunes and old-time popular songs. But over time, Cilman Director Bob Cilman has taken the group in new directions. The musical preferences of the chorus members continue to be classical, opera, and Broadway songs of the ‘40s, ‘50s and ’60s, but they are adventurous and open-minded when it comes to learning and performing contemporary rock. The film follows Young@Heart during a seven-week period in 2006 as they prepare for their “Alive and Well” concert in Northampton. For this performance, Cilman has chosen a combined program of punk, rock, rhythm & blues and a quiet ballad. Rehearsals are a bit fraught as the singers try to learn lyrics that don’t make sense (Sonic Youth’s “Schizophrenia”), grasp rhythms that are somewhat challenging (James Brown’s “I Feel Good”), and try not to trip over their own tongues (Allen Toussaint’s “Yes We Can Can”). Between rehearsals the filmmaker visits several members of the chorus at home. They talk about health issues and near-death experiences, and unanimously express their enthusiasm and love of singing with Young@Heart. The film’s presentation of the realities of aging is punctuated by the chorus’s music videos poking fun at the condition of being old (“I Wanna Be Sedated”), or thumbing their noses at mortality (“Road to Nowhere” and “Stayin’ Alive”). But above all, the film celebrates the importance of enjoying life. After all their hard work preparing for the “Alive and Well” concert, Young@Heart seems ready to go on singing for a long time to come. 2 Tuesday, January 12, 8pm LIFE Sunday, January 17, 6pm

On-Demand: your shows, your time

Ten years ago, if you missed your favorite TV show

With a on-demand, it's easy! You can settle in to

you would probably end up never seeing it. But in

watch Julia because you know you can go on your

the past few years, the popularity of online videos

computer and watch NOVA the next day or even

has made it possible to watch what you want, when

the next week. And you can watch the investment

you want it. This new development in television

program over and over again, stopping and starting

is growing by leaps and bounds â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with a recent

as you take notes.

Nielsen report indicating that online video viewing grew by nearly 35% in the last year alone. At a we are excited to join in this trend and to unveil a new, exciting service: a on-demand. Under development for several years, a ondemand is a resource that allows you to watch

your shows online. It includes a treasure trove of locally-produced films and documentaries; PBS kids programs and features, as well as many of your favorite national PBS shows. And while not all PBS shows will be available right away, it is our goal to

James R. Pagliarini

make them all available over time.

With busy schedules, multiple channels and so many great shows, it can be difficult to catch all your favorite a shows when they are broadcast, but now a on-demand makes it easy to see your shows, on your time.

Online video is truly a wonderful tool that expands the power of television and puts control in your hands. Ultimately, a on-demand is about serving more people, more often; it is about making programs available anytime, anywhere, to anyone. We are proud of this new service and we encourage you to visit tpt.org/ondemand and see all the expanded opportunities it provides.

Picture this: it's Tuesday night and you want to watch Julia Child on c , but there's a great NOVA episode on b and there's also a show on d about investing your retirement savings. What do you tune in to see?

Inspired by WNET’s The Human Spark featuring Alan Alda, this production features researchers discussing their work and includes experts on chimpanzee behavior, our earliest human ancestors, Neanderthal social development and the emergence of modern humans.

HIGHLIGHTS

JA NUARY 25 - 3 1

American Experience: Wyatt Earp

is life is shrouded in myth and he has been portrayed by some of Hollywood's greatest actors, but these popular fictions belie the complexities and flaws

of a man whose life is a lens on politics, justice and economic opportunity in the American frontier. As a young man, Wyatt Earp was a caricature of the Western lawman, spending his days drinking in saloons, gambling and gaining notoriety as the legendary gunman in the shootout at the OK Corral. But shortly after his death in 1929, distressed Americans down on their luck transformed Wyatt Earp into a folk hero: a man who took control of his own destiny and a central figure in the American narrative of how the West was won. 2 Monday, January 25, 8pm LIFE Friday, January 29, 4pm www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience

Colour of War: Adolf Hitler Drawing from two recently discovered German color film collections that comprise more than 10 hours of previously unseen color footage, this film tells the disturbing story of the man whose fanaticism led to the greatest tragedy in human history.
