Comment:

In a few more weeks it will be time for the Renaissance Festival in Sterling, NY. I love to spend a summer day sitting under the trees listening to the music (and maybe drinking a beer or two). I don't have many CDs by musicians who do the Ren Faire circuit, but these songs remind in various ways of that music.

Thanks to Gerry for "Black Velvet Band," Rob for "Come All Ye," Sally for "Betsy the Serving Maid," my bro' for "The Gypsy Rover," and my dad for "The Vicar of Bray."
