He's the man who has everything. WED In another version he's a DJ in a slightly shabby local WED radio station who gets hassled by the occasional oddball on WED the street. And he's the man who hopes for everything. The WED truth lies somewhere in between. WED And at home? Well, naturally, his private life is chaotic. WED His wife has left him, taking custody of his 8-year-old son WED Justin jnr, and is in the process of taking him to the WED cleaners. So he's back on the market.

WED WED 17:00 The iPod Series b017l5y3 (Listen) WED Robert Burns's iPod WED David Owen Norris and guests listen to Robert Burns's WED favourite songs in his drinking club in Tarbolton, near WED Glasgow. WED With National Poet of Scotland Liz Lochhead (who has just WED written a play about Burns), Dr Kirsteen McCue and Professor WED Nigel Leask - and featuring Burns's own fiddle. We hear the WED songs with the tunes he wanted - not always the ones which WED have become famous. 'My Love is like a Red Red Rose' for WED instance was changed by his publisher against his wishes. WED Kirsteen McCue is the world expert on Burns's songs, and she WED reveals the original versions. We also hear a naughty song WED called 'Nine Inch will Please a Lady'... WED Robert Burns's playlist reflects his political vision and WED also his complex love life. Burns was writing for the WED high-class Edinburgh ladies who took him up in his 30s, but WED he was also composing songs in broader Scots about their WED maids. Songs were a crucial part of his seduction technique WED - and they seem to have worked for him. He left 15 WED illegitimate children. Even on his death-bed, Burns was WED writing songs - for the pretty blonde teenager who was WED nursing him. That song, 'Oh Wert Thou in the Cold Blast', is WED one of his most beautiful, and almost unbearably moving. WED Burns was destitute, he was dying at the age of only 37, and WED yet he sang to his nurse: 'Oh wert thou in the cold blast, WED I'd shelter thee, I'd shelter thee'. WED Presenter David Owen Norris is a broadcaster, composer and WED concert pianist. He has arranged the songs, which are WED performed by Thomas Guthrie and jazz singer Gwyneth Herbert.
