speed bonny boat like a bird on the wing...

Onward! the sailors cry.
Carry the lad that was born to be king
Over the sea to Skye.

I've just finished assisting Siena in the composition of a harmony to the Skye Boat Song that is both singable and fiddleable. Huzzah! I also managed to stay on the same key through several renditions of the song. *is pleased*

Preceding our musical endeavor was a showing of Lost in Translation, which was bloody brilliant. The monks! The stepping stones! The whiskey! The mysterious-mountain-with-mist-or-wait-is-that-pollution-and-pretty-trees-oh-no-wait-it's-a-GOLF-COURSE?! I loved it.

Does this mean we get singing and harmony in Fiddleheads? Please please say yes. Or at least that you'll teach the rest of us. *is excited*

Well, it's still a work in progress, but sure! If we're going to make everybody else sing Star of the County Down next December, instead of that weird jazz thing, we need to get in practice! The Fiddleheads need respect! They cannot take us and break us and make us play single-note harmonies to their blasphemous tunes! It's degrading, I tell you! FREEEEEDDDOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!

Okay, so maybe I'm overreacting.

Now I feel all Braveheart. I want to run screaming into battle to protect the fiddle tunes. *imagines self in blue paint, charging jazz musicians*

Okay, yeah, perhaps we're both overreacting.

I see absolutely nothing wrong with blue paint. Let's do it!
...
Oh, wait. With a large amount of luck, I won't be there to lead the troops... *is mysterious* Still, I can think of several other people who would willingly don blue paint and charge around yelling fearsomely. For our music! For the Celts! For the Fiddleheads! Chaaaaaaaaaaarge!
