(...) Hi Craig, I'll take this chance to thank you for the reply and mention what a nice page you've got. (It gave me some ideas for one of my miniatures) (...) Hm.. I'll have to keep an eye out for one of those, but I think it looks a *little* off (...) (25 years ago, 5-Dec-99, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Loreena Mckennitt is a great singer and musician! The first time I heard "The Highwayman", it brought a tear to my eye. It is just so hauntingly beautiful! My other favorites by her include "Bonny Portmore", "All Souls Night", "Between the (...) (25 years ago, 9-Dec-99, to lugnet.castle)
