3 great songs. To be honest I never saw any of the films/series it was based upon before I heard the songs. Well, if you're like me ... after hearing the songs, you go looking for the DVD's as well.

Austin, Texas' "Modern Minstrel', Celtic songwriter, autoharp player and website guru Marc Gunn has released three beautiful, bardic ballads here in the filk style. (Acoustic folk music written with inspiration from Science Fiction, Fantasy and other genres of film and television).
With the playful "A Rabbit for Halloween", the relaxing "Stardust Serenade", and the painfully romantic "She Said Her Name Was Saffron", Gunn has really come into his own in songwriting. "Rabbit" and "Saffron" are superbly sung with an echo-effect on the vocals as a nice touch, and "Stardust" is superbly played, serving up some interesting, un-accompanied autoharp textures. It's only three songs, yes, but they're three exellent songs.
