One I’d really love to hear is a Mandalorian Lament after the Night of a Thousand Tears. A Mandalorian take on something similar to Ghosts of Alderaan would be extremely interesting.

Probably mid-year, once the live show version of it I'm doing at the Orlando Fringe Festival is done. It's tough... I of course want to get good quality audio versions of these ups here for y'all to listen to. But there's so little money to be made from Spotify that I have to give higher priority to other opportunities in order to stay afloat.

@@twinsunsentertainment glad you like the idea. Of you have read some fo the legend novels or even in kotor there are many examples of parents who didn't want to give there kids up to be jedi. Like bastille shans parents or even ki adi mundi were hesitant. I very been listening to all these song for the last few days I love the fact you have also wrote a backstop and history about the songs

@@twinsunsentertainment There's a lot! Some of my favorites are Savage Daughter by Wyndreth Berginsdottir, The Peasant Knight by Mistress Rosalind Jehenne, Undefeated by Lucia Elena Braganzar, and pretty much anything by Heather Dale (though Bow to the Crown and History of Ealdormere are two of my favorites of hers.) The Peasant Knight is one of my favorites to perform, it's tied to one of my earliest memories. I was born into the Medievalist life :)

Got a question for your man. Are you willing to write a custom one for me. I run Star Wars one shot campaigns(d&d style). gaining interest walking through a convention has been difficult. The campaign is randomized, however Certain plot points are consistent. Of course at the start of any campaign I use it to draw attention to you would receive Credit for the Shanty....
