Hello

A black knight is a knight who either is not bound to a specific liege or does not want his liege, or himself, to be identified and so does not bear any heraldic standards or has blackened them out.

While images abound of evil black knights rampaging the countryside, these tales are far from the truth. A black knight is a knight not sponsored or employed by a local lord for the defense of his lands. Therefore, the black knight does not have at his disposal the resources needed to keep his armor polished and in good repair. To maintain dignity, these knights painted their armor black, to hide any wear and tear that the armor may have endured.

I sing, play guitar and harmonica live.
Then I record bass and guitar over the live track. I'm still working on putting a band of knights together.
