[@fiorastarchildwolf]

Stunning! Guitar playing, arrangement, filming and production quality....all of it! I first read Lord of the Rings when I was 12. I read it several times through by the time I was a senior in high school--and took an AP Lit class that was all about it, so I read it again! Then in college at least 3 times. After college. And then, when my daughters each reached the age where they were ready, I read each of them the full LOTR (Hobbit first), one chapter at a time as a bedtime story. So, when Peter Jackson made the movies, ALL of us saw every one of them on opening night, and own the dvd set. And we've watched them probably 30-40 times. It was my youngest daughter who found and posted this today. Thank you! Your beautiful guitar arrangement and playing of this medley is a wonderful gift!

Leave it to the elves to forge something made of wood without it catching flame. I'm sure the wood is enchanted with the intense mana of their hair, or a leaf that one of them sat on when resting in the woods.
