Music by Tempest

This week's track is Raggle Taggle Gypsy. I thought a good story told in song would be a fine complement to Bill Mayhew's interview.

This's week's track is provided by Tempest. Permission to use this track was provided by Dan Hanley at Magna Carta Records. I'm a real Tempest freak. I love their music and go out to all their shows when they're in the Washington/Baltimore metro area. They put on one hell of a show live. Albums by Tempest are available at Amazon.com and many other places.
