Some Samples From PK4:

Threes written by Mercedes Lackey

This is the song Misty gave us permission to do at OKRF last May when Wendy Z. of Minstrosity (who, btw, came up with the name "Queen's Gambit") introduced us to her. We've had such fun seeing the reactions on the faces of the Mercedes Lackey fans as they recognize the song at performances! It tells in song one of the short stories from "Oathblood", one of our favorite books. Bruce's arrangement of this very dramatic song just rocks!

Where Are You Tonight, I Wonder written by Andy M. Stewart

This song used to make Rowan cry back before she and theBruce got together. It is *not* a song to hear if you're away from your love! It started as an Andy M. Stewart classic - a haunting melody - and we think that the cello-like violin line provided by DJ Buie (our fiddlegrrl from Lawrence, KS) and harmonies we bring to it make it even lovelier. This is one of those songs where at performances, we can "feel" the hush come over the audience between the end of the last note and the beginning of the applause!

Spanish Lady

This is an arrangement 'borrowed' from a band called The Gaels from Minnesota that theBruce found on an mp3 download site. We've rearranged the arrangement, which is an old traditional song "Spanish Lady" sung to the tune of "Galway City" and a bit of Fiddlin' and Whistlin' of the session tune "Julia Delaney" thrown in for good measure. This was first performed by theBruce and Cedric the Fiddler of The Bedlam Bards at OKRF in Muskogee in 2003, and was recorded in this rendition with the fiddling of Wayne Cantwell, the Flyin' Fiddler.

Here are a some samples from "Opening Move - Take Two", our first CD!

These are mp3 files, and can be downloaded by right-clicking and selecting "Save Target As", or simply listened to with your installed mp3 player.

Letters from KilkellyThis is quite possibly the saddest song ever written. It was written by Peter Jones and tells the story of John Hunt's emigration to America from Kilkelly, Co. Mayo. The whole story, and a transcript of the original letters, are here. Bruce would like to thank the Bedlam Bards for teaching me this song.
