So here is another favorite from recent episodes. 6:36 - Ed Miller \u201cMore Than Just a Dram\u201d from Lolander From Irish & Celtic Music Podcast #660: Drowsy Dancing Bear 10:56 - THE STORY OF BUTTERCUP\u2019S LAMENT I wrote this song in December 2000. It began with the idea of a woman who's True Love was lost at sea. But as the story developed, it reminded me of Buttercup's "True Love"--Wesley--in the cult classic, "The Princess Bride"a, so I named it after her. It's a sad, but beautiful song, sung great a cappella or as I play it, with a solo autoharp. 15:24 - Marc Gunn \u201cButtercup\u2019s Lament\u201d from Soul of Harper Buttercup\u2019s Lament lyrics and music by Marc Gunn There's a leaf on a tree and it's swaying And a girl 'neath the tree tears in her eyes. There's a wolf on the run saying 'Where have ye gone?' 'Oh where have ye gone sweet love of mine.' Oh wind, cruel wind, bring and end, an end To the storm that took me love afore his time Oh wind, cruel wind, bring and end, an end I long for him. Will ye bring my true love back to me side There's a puddle on the ground and it's growing And a girl above the pond tears in her eyes There's a fox on the run saying 'Where have ye gone?' 'Oh where have ye gone sweet love of mine.' There's a woman on the run saying, 'Where have ye gone? Oh where have ye gone sweet love of mine? Oh where have ye gone sweet love of mine? Oh where oh where? I long for ye here. Oh where have ye gone sweet love of mine? 19:09 - SUPPORT THE CLUB The show is brought to you by my supporters on Patreon.

So I love talking with other adventurers. One such person is Carl Asch. He's a musician and juggler named Giacomo the Juggler. He sings with the band Empty Hats. He is also the co-founder with Paolo Garbanzo of Ren Adventurers, a tour company that takes you on small European trips much like my Celtic Invasion Vacations. But today, I wanted to talk to Carl about a bicycle trip he did across Italy. In this episode we'll explore: The origins of Giacomo the Jester How juggling, magic, and street performing can take you around the globe Double Indemnity and Empty Hats How to write a compelling show for Renaissance festivals Bicycling from Sicily to Venice following places mentioned in Shakespeare's plays Shakespeare's Guide to Italy Some of the trips on the Ren Adventures Find out more about Carl Asch 1:10:32 - Empty Hats \u201cThe Hat Came Back\u201d from The Hat Came Back 1:12:48 - CREDITS Thanks for listening to Pub Songs & Stories.
