  • What’s in a name and The Seat of Doom

    ”My name it means nothing, my age it means less, the country I come from is called the Mid West, I was born and brought up there the rules to abide, and that the land that I live in has God on its side” From the song “With God on Our Side” By Bob Dylan,… Read more

  • Bard from the Shop.

    Rambling warning!!!
