Album Notes


Lord Ronan was raised between two swift rivers nestled up against the
morning side of the great Blue Ridge Mountains at the headwaters of the
mighty Rappahannock in the land of the Virgin Queen. His youth was filled
with love and kindness, and he in turn held a pure and devoted love for his family.
As he matured, a great wanderlust began to consume him until one fine Autumn
day he wandered along the river nearest his home and turned into the deep woods
following game trails far into the wilderness until finally he was hopelessly lost.
Once he realized his state, he moved rapidly one way and then another, searching
desperately for some assuring sign. Finally, he came upon a trail which seemed
familar, and he pursued what he judged to be the direction of the river. And finally
the river emerged into view, and he knew he would find his way home along the
river’s banks.
Meanwhile, at home there was great sadness and lamentation for Lord Ronan’s
disappearance. People went out in all directions to search for him. At last, with great
cries and jubilation he was discovered moving swiftly toward home and his family.
There were celebrations and great merriment to welcome Lord Ronan home.
Lord Ronan, of course, is among the finest of the canine persuasion.
