BBC Scotland - Dirt Road to Lafayette

A young Scottish boy finds freedom and independence in a world of adults through music.

Fifteen-year-old Murdo and his father, Tom, journey from Scotland to north Alabama to visit their America/Scots relatives after the death of his mother. Murdo is an accordion player but has not played since his mother passed.

When he meets fellow accordionist Queen Monzee-ay she rekindles his interest in music and invites him to play a gig with her. The music becomes a wedge which drives itself between him and his father.
