I'm a huge Pink Floyd fan, there is a tribute band in Ft. Wayne called Pink Droid that is really good. I saw them this year at the Three Rivers Festival and they put on a awsome show !!!!!!!
This song was written by King Richard the Lionheart, as he sat in a dungeon in Austria after he was captured while returning from the crusades. This song is over 800 years old. He always starts the song with the story of King Richard, and how he came to be there, and how he got out.
Owain Phyfe is a friend of mine. He does the renaissance faire circuit performing. This is one of my favorite songs of all time.
I used to do Cilvl war reenacting years ago, one of the most moving and touching songs I have ever heared was sung at a campfire one night, this song dates back to that time!
