<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite>Ok - Eleanor pointed out that this
is really my *second* song (see The Husbands' Retort on my bardic page at
bard.ansteorra.org), but it's the first song I wrote with original
music.<br>
<br>
At Westgate Winter Collegium this weekend (yes - Winter in June), we were
performing some bardic pieces, and a song that I sang at Gulf War a
couple years ago came up in discussion, but it was NOT a song to be sung
in polite company, so I wasn't going to sing it that night. It
prompted me to comment "That's a song right there - A song about a
song that I'm not going to sing." So I am happy to say that I
put the idea down on paper and have come up with the following
song. I wrote three verses, but more can easily be added.<br>
