Recordist's notes
In Přerov two senior pigeon fanciers hopped on my train and started a whimsical chit-chat about their mutual passion in Silesian dialect. What a wonderful intervention into the bland, airplane-like setting of EC 104 'Sobieski', provided by two truly regional characters, breeding genuine ambassadors of a world without borders
