......My Favorite Fairs.......
NYRF, Mostly the PA faire unfortunately my companions and I, as well as some Highlandians we just met were escorted out by a pack of seven or so constables for singing me bloody chanteys. (Literally Bloody but in a jolly way).
Tis wasn't the music as much as how crazy and pumped the patrons became. Beating on the pub bar to the beat, attempting to sing along, and cheering."Ahh, bless their hearts." I don't think the appearance of me and my black adorned companions helped much in our defense (We are often pre-judged).Twas a short sentence though, we were back and singing the next day. "Down with censorship !" you'll never silence Blackwolf (:
About Me
....Hail all in this wonderful shire!!! I am Blackwolf the Reaver. I Hail from Highlandia but spend much time in the East parts of this country of America. I write and sing Chanteys which some of you might have heard if thou hast frequented the PA faire in the months of October. They range from brutal medieval chanteys, battle hyms of honor, songs of pubs and brothels, to romantic mystical love songs.I've been frequenting faires since the late eighties, and if my budget allowed, I'd be going to a lot more (Or maybe even open my own, where SCA members would be allowed to battle in an arena, there would be a pub with scantily clad belly dancers, and I'd be allowed to sing my Chanteys . In the meantime. I would love to meet folk or be reunited with wonderful people I've previously met at past faires. Fear not, the horns may be sharp, but the heart inside is tender. (:

As a lot of you know, I do often rate movies in my Blog.
My rating system consists of a five sword rating system, which basically translates as the following. ....
I do tend to give a movie extra points if it is really trippy, bizarre, or has good cinematography or a lot of eye candy. Based on that, yes, I like Indies more than Main Stream. I love feedback of any sort to my reviews, so go crazy, I'd love to hear your opinion. Everyone views movies differently.

Nothing too special, but a short video of me performing. Actually was a tad distracted from the camera getting way to close to my head while I was performing ( : I worked through it though. youtu.be/bPaZc41YOS4 just in case they wouldn't allow me to post a link copy and paste this in your URL box if there wasn't a link before this sentence. youtu.be/bPaZc41YOS4
Now matter how long the lengths of time in betweeen my visits here are, it is like a secret hide away that I can't find solitude when solitude is dearly needed. a homely warmth that is not offered anywhere else. Like strolling through the woods or parks that you grew up in, this is my home and tis always safe and welcoming. Cheers to all of the Shire!
Here's a video I was caught in. Not the greatest, but when are any?
