- Four short clips from more than five hours of recording |
| Here
you will find .mp3 audio clips from recordings made in Margaret Mee's house in
Santa Teresa a hillside suburb of Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. The recordings were
made between January and March 1988 by Bob Nadkarni or Tony Morrison. They were
made with Margaret's approval and as background for a television film. These clips
look at the years before she left for Brasil. But they are Margaret's memorie
and subsequent research has revealed that she was not always right - perhaps a
mwmory failure - perhaps a selective memory or most probably some inventiveness
to cover the truth. Margaret Mee was an accomplished storyteller. [Ed. TM] |
