WHO'S PLAYING IN THE PUB TODAY 0:18 - SONG: "Elves" from Don't Go Drinking With Hobbits 2:33 - WELCOME -- Watch the show on YouTube. I met Rie Sheridan Rose at Excalibur Fantasy Faire. That was the first Renaissance festival I performed at. Rie became a fan of my band Brobdingnagian Bards. But one day, before I got to know her, she handed me lyrics and a cassette out of the blue. She had written a song and asked if I would sing it. I'll be honest. I was a bit lazy. I didn't want to try to learn her melody.I never really did anything with the cassette. But I loved the lyrics. So I wrote some music for it. Andrew and I started playing the song. It was extremely well-received. Eventually, it was recorded for the Bards' album, Brobdingnagian Fairy Tales. One day, I asked her to write lyrics for a Firefly soundtrack. Then I asked if she would write some hobbit drinking songs with me. Then came a pirate and dragon Steampunk project I came up with. Twenty years later, we have over 30 songs that we've written together! And while I do talk about Rie every now and then during shows and in emails. I don't think I ever did a show dedicated to the songs she and I wrote. Nor have I done a podcast dedicated to our music together. Back in June, I finally remedied that during Coffee with The Cetlfather. I'm pleased to share that show with you right now. 4:18 - LIVE COFFEE WITH RIE SHERIDAN ROSE SHOW 5:10 - "Scouring the Shire" from Don't Go Drinking With Hobbits 8:27 - "There's a Bug in Cabin Six" from As Long As I'm Flyin' 13:32 - "Come and Be a Pirate" from Pirates vs. Dragons 15:54 - "Keep Them Soaring" from Pirates vs. Dragons 20:18 - "Soul of a Harper" from Brobdingnagian Fairy Tales 24:18 - "Raise a Glass in Parting" from Don't Go Drinking With Hobbits 26:22 - "Browncoats Keep Flyin'" from Sci Fi Drinking Songs I hope you enjoyed that show.
