The Shepherd’s Bothy
In the highlands of Scotland, one going on foot might come across little huts with no one living in them. These are small quarters built for shepherds to take shelter from an unexpected rain, and have become camping stops for backpackers. On the other side of the globe in Santa Barbara, California lies an old one-car garage, more like a large tool shed. Having found sheep wool insulation for sound proofing, the Brothers Collier converted this shed into a recording studio from which they record their music. Though far from the highlands of Scotland, the smell of sheep can be easily detected in the humble studio from which these songs and episodes are made. We hope, like a wandering shepherd caught in a storm, you find shelter and shalom in these songs and episodes.
