REVIEWS

Worth it just for the sequel to "The Scotsman".
author: Allen Huffman
I obtained this CD after seeing them performing at the Kansas City Renaissance Festival in 2004. It's a fun disc, with bits of dialog and narration in places. The main track, to me, is "The Blue Ribbon", which acts as a follow-up song to the classic (as heard of Doctor Demento) "The Scotsman" by Mike Cross. (The Scotsman is a song that, although it was only written 30 years or so ago, seems to have taken on a life of it's own, usually with incorrect lyrics or mis-identified as traditional. May Queen's Gambit have as much success with The Blue Ribbon so that it, too, can hold such status.)
