[geoff1945]

@SabMei1 - Thanks for your visit, Sabine and to Princess Gabrielle for sharing.

Perhaps there could be a Germanic maiden in future stories. Although I do remember discussing such a story with you some time ago!

[SabMei1]

@geoff1945 I would be very honoured Geoff. That would be fun if you create a video of the backwards sking and guitar playing maiden...

[geoff1945]

@musicfamily - He has the star part in the story! I guess the disguise was too good!

you can't here him too well in the chorus as his voice is too like mine. Hmmmm!

[fourty5mag]

Heeeeeeeeey!!!! Waat resemblance have I to an Evil Uncle? I beseech thee, prey tell and all of that garble!!! LOL!!! I don't mind being the brunt of your tale!!! Nice job!!

[geoff1945]

@fourty5mag - All the great actors say they love playing the villain! your grasp of the medieval English idiom is quite amazing, Richard and I will look to cast you in a suitable role next time. Perhaps as Richard in 'The Lion in Winter ' (What are you like at playing 'gay' roles?) Or perhaps as the Sherrif of Nottingham in Robin Hood. Congratulations on your first 'speaking' part.

[movebyleap]

Oh! This is wonderful! So - did I understand correctly - did you write and then perform this song at an outdoor venue in your town? Was it part of some larger music festival in the park? It's awesome!! The animations are well done too!

[geoff1945]

@movebyleap - Hi Family Ariadna! This was a follow up to a 'promenade play'I co-wrote to explain the history and folklore of that wood in the park. We were funded by the British 'Heritage Lottery Fund and invited local schools and the community to walk around the park as we acted out scenes and songs from the tale. It was great fun and we drew people from the audience to take part in some of the scenes. We were blessed by good weather. I thank my YT friends for 'acting' in this presentation.

[pastore0506]

Great work Geoff!

George

[geoff1945]

@pastore0506 - Thanks, George. It was fun doing it.

[geoff1945]

@dleewhee - I hope Kimber likes it too! LOL x

[geoff1945]

@Luiesbasement - Yes, storytelling is my bread and butter. I enjoy it most when I am asked to create a story for people or places, as with this one. I like to visit, take photos and then build the story using some fact and a lot of fiction. If there is a song in it, all the better. Now I've told you the story twice, Luie. Will you go to bed, please?

Oh, sorry, its still early over there!

I should have put the brave soldier on a motorbike!

I hope the boy enjoys it!
