I joined the Society for Creative Anachronism back in 1981, and was immediately hooked on the escapism, the counter-culture, the history, the hands-on accomplishments, and the more-or-less ancient folk music. Within a few months of joining, I began to write some folksy ballads about the people I'd met or the stories I'd heard - and began to make up a few of my own, too. This two-CD set (which began, of course, as a pair of cassettes) has been moderately popular for over two decades now, and most of the tunes here are "remixed" from the master tapes - a few have been re-recorded. My appologies to Ian Anderson for the blatant immitation of his Aqualung album cover. It seemed appropriate to this endeavor, though, because I've always played the part of a beggar in the S.C.A.
