Oh, most definitely it is. My Appalachian great great-grandfather had to be tied to the bed by his wife in his drunk, lest he suffer night terrors and fight the air in his unconscious frenzy. Oh, I'd made it into a sort of hellish revision after the maddened visions of a handful of good friends. Terrible odes to Sodom and Sindhuist soliloquies ring the obscenity found and birthed by the likes of Kipling and Dickens! Listening to Gunga Din - what a sobering sorrow in providence and prejudice! Hope all is well. ❤️‍🔥

@@mysterymichaelman Thanks, Michael. All comparatively well here. Autumn is well underway in the world and it looks very beautiful.

@@eric-jr2nf I'd recorded a version of the Limerick Rake in such a setting. Clancy Brothers, goodness me, it's beautiful. From Saxon to Dane. All the English ale'd love in the world. ❤️‍🔥

Oh, weren't they?! I'll probably upload some interview clips of Bellamy pretty soon. :) Hope you're well, Nigel!

@@mysterymichaelman All well, thanks, and on holiday in Lincolnshire, where the poachers come from!

How are you doing?

@@GhostontheMoor D'ye ken John Peel? Hahahahah! Lincolnshire is beautiful, I'm sure of it. Their accent is quite striking and easily discerned. I'm going through a phase, oh goodness, my entire life's been a phase. Left this house for six months, it was paradise. Worst mistake was leaving Ohio, people begged me not to go back to those nutjobs, never knew what normal was until I lived on my own. Sure enough, within the month my mother has my father arrested. Should have stayed in the factory, I made a small sum but it was livable. Now I'm trapped again, drinking spirits most every day. I'll look back on all this indulgence and smile one day. I've been through half of this country, became a Freemason, met some pretty girls, treated my friends a bit and got to see a whole bunch of stuff. I'm content.

@@mysterymichaelman Wow! That sounds like the plot of a novel, or a very, very long ballad at the very least. Does this mean that you’re not planning to join the army now? I can’t remember which state you said you were in… Though I seem to recall that you’re somewhere in the SW of the US.

@@eric-jr2nf The Germanic condition, I tell you. Oh, I remember our endless discussions. Curious to hear your opinion on Anderson's recent scandals. I've been an atheist for years. Hahahahah.

​@@mysterymichaelman I just stumbled upon the Anderson scandal a few days ago. I'm still looking into it, listening to his adult kids' testimonies and waiting to see what will happen. I still believe most of Anderson's doctrines (not how he practices them though 😂), but it's closer to 80% of them I believe now, rather than 95%, lol. I'm sure I would be called a hellbound reprobate heretic by both the New and Old IFB, lol.

@@eric-jr2nf Here I am producing an album en dévouement a la Marquis de Sade, and those Andersons have more toys and whips and outfits in their possession than I'm able to admit! To think they made their children wash their impedimenta of libertine passions, to add! Ugh. What we would have given to have been raised in a secular and educated world. Pitiful, what insurmountable billions must live through. <3 Hope all is well.

​@@mysterymichaelman😂

And me as well! Hahah; a shame I will never get to experience such a treat!

Lowered the backing vocals. I like this one much better, still stacked/ghostly vocals but less clouded for sure

O, you and Frosso are eternal as reigning, orpheic Olympus, my friend. To me, Sovay is but child's play, hahahah, always wondered whether you play guitar and if you ever tried Sovay fingerstyle - this is much harder for me; much more expansive than I in the digital domain, that is for sure. I will be sure to record a much more detailed and entailed version for your sake, as I know in particular, the sociological significance it holds for us both. Is it the lyrical content that you speak of? Love you guys, read 78 pages of Yukio that I apparently don't remember past 25 and thus must engage again, t'was interrupted by a family tragedy - kid was hit broadside - a truck going fifty to sixty an hour. He is but the image of Dionysus himself, another kindred spirit must be. <3 Love you, man. Sorry for the ruckus.

@@GhostontheMoor Seagull Merlin, developed in the 1980s out of British Columbia! :) Always appreciate your comments, Nigel.

@@mysterymichaelman It sounds great!

@@mysterymichaelman Got me a Seagul guitar and I love it. Great company. Loved the song.

@@captainEmery Oh, ain't she beautiful?! Thank you and Nigel both.

Too

Hahahahah! I was a teenager; go figure... <3

Thank you, Nigel! Sorry for the late replies.

A burner laptop and a cheap USB mic. Hahahah! <3

Another good one. Thank you! The tune to this took on a life of its own and became the music for a number of regional nautical variations. My favourite is “Talcahuano Girls”, which was sung by the men of the British South Pacific whaling fleet operating off the coast of Chile. Check out the version by Robin and Barry Dransfield on KZbin, if you’re not already familiar with it.

@@GhostontheMoor Oh, how beautiful! I've not listened to much of Dransfield's, tell you truth. Thank you so much, Nigel, I hope you are well my friend! <3

@@mysterymichaelman the sound quality is pretty good for a cheap mic! Keep it up!

I listened to it yesterday, reading your comment. What an interesting implement to such a song! I'm partial to some occasional Alizee, myself. There is a pop version of Son Ar Chistr that is also quite beautiful. Thank you!

I enjoyed this one, too. Well done. I first heard Alan Stivell singing this at the Cambridge Folk Festival here in the UK back in 1974!

I prefer this one surely!
