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.

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

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!
