Yes, but the song is also a much requested piece  I get it requested of me
at least once at most camping event's I'm at. which means I do it  at least
15 times a year if not more,  The song is a part of Ansteorra History, and
for some that have been around since the early days of this kingdom it is
sentimental as well.
