Hey guys,

I was just wondering if any of you castle-heads out there can recommend any
good castle building music???  Listening to the radio doesn't do it for me
when I'm building, and I don't care for silence.  I'm looking for something
that can get my creative juices flowing the right direction.  Inspirational if
you will...

Thanks for looking!

Eric

Ok. Let me try this again. I started to reply to this message, and then all the power in the building went out. The generator kicked in and the computer room stayed up, but I was out of luck. As I started to say, When I am concentrating, I try not (...) (24 years ago, 12-Jul-00, to lugnet.castle)
