Any traditional Ballad singer would tell you that singing a ballad is an extremely visual event. Im sure that all of us have a comic book of sorts running through our head while we are singing, and I bet that each song creates different images for everyone. Its awesome that people are using their talent to run with this idea.

And I agree with Kat that Charles De Lint is a winner. I mean, in one of his novels the protagonists sing Hal and Toe to ward away a Witch. Wonderful.
