MMario is known across
Mudcatlandia as a kind soul, a smart System Administrator, and a lover
of Renaissance Fayres. Few realize he is also a talented
songwriter.
Here is an MP3 to demonstrate:
Sir James' Reply
was first posted in a thread way back in December 1999, called "Mudcat's Songbook?".
The post was made the very day that Àine's Mudcat Songbook was
first linked to the Mudcat Quicklinks list by Max. It is a beautiful
and heartfelt love song on the Renaissance model.
On the 19th of June, 1997, at an ungodly early hour Mudcat Time, Alan
of Oz first posted his beautiful song called
The Wolfhound in
a thread
by the same name. The thread also explores in depth the
ancient legend on which this song is based in a typically spirited
Mudcat discussion.
MMario first reported singing it in public on the 23 of March, 1999,
and he has been singing it ever since.
Here is his rendition of
Alan
of Oz' The
Wolfhound.
Thirdly, MMario has graced us with a beautiful
Toast for
the New Year, first seen in a Mudcat New Year's thread.
Last but not least he has lately provided us with the mysterious
Lullaby for a Borrowed Child
