about

Shut-Down Serenades - Vollsanger sings of the sad story of a young lass and her aged husband.

Vollsanger sings his own rendition of "Maid when you're Young never wed an old man" - a song dedicated to Agna the Healer from the Curious Pastimes Live Action Role Play Game System - sadly deceased......
Agna was linked to Frigga - the Viking Goddess of Marriage, and was known to propose marriage regularly... and repeatedly.... and could often be seen conducting ceremonies... Sadly, he was not a young man!!!

lyrics

An old man came courting me, hey ding dooram da
An old man came courting me, me being young
An old man came courting me, fain would he marry me
Maid, when you're young never wed an old man
Because he's got no falorum, fi-didle eye-oorum
He's got no falorum, fi-didle eye day
He's got no falorum, he's lost his ting-torum
Oh Maid When You're Young, Never Wed An Old Man

When we went to church, he left me in the lurch
When we went to bed, he lay like he was dead
I three my leg over him, damn nearly smothered him
When he went to sleep, out of bed I did creep
Into the arms of a much younger man
And I found his falorum, fi-didle eye-oorum
I found his faloorum, fadidle all day
I found his falorum, he found my Ting-torum !!!
So maid when you're young never wed an old man

Vollsanger Llanelli, UK

From the frozen wastes of Northern Norsca, Vollsanger was a Skald of the old tradition - a Bard schooled in the ancient songs and epic tales.
From the Skadi Mountains he found the Crimson Moon Tavern in a glade.

Seeing a new challenge, Vollsanger found a new life - selling a song for a copper and and entertaining the people in strange new lands
