Not Fire Not ICE
Run good people come hear the minstrels, the gleemen, the troubadours and revel well in the rabble. Feast well, smoke and drink good ale but mind to stay far from trouble. Dance and sing, laugh and weep then, at dawn, fall happily into bed in a muddle. Come all ye rolling minstrels strike your merry tune and tell your potent tale. Bang that drum hit those strings and raise your voices so hale. Paint us a canny picture before you hit again that lonely trail... Folk & world music mixtapes
