size=2>Baroness Julitta des Chevaux is from the Kingdom of Atlantia.
I had the fortune of singing with her several years ago at Pennsic. She
has made about a dozen learning tapes that she usde to offer for the price of
the cassettes. She gifted me with a set - she was only up to nine,
then!</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=406422603-06112006><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>A word
of caution, though, Julitta is a wonderful performer, but her tunes and lyrics
do not always match the originals. She often rearranges tunes so they fit
her voice better. This is fine, and usually makes her performances bettre,
but you may want to double check with another source so you can make an educated
decision about how you would like to perform the song.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

and Chain" was written by Master Morric Haast from Trimaris. It is a
wonderful song. Here are the lyrics, as well as some of his thoughts on
the song.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
