Thread Name: Early English harp-playing.
Subject: Early English harp-playing.
It is recorded that during the invasion of England by the Danes, King Alfred disguised himself as a harpist and walked into the Danish camp, entertained them with a few well-chosen songs and in the process checked out their battle plans.
   The coalition forces seem to be having a bit of bother figuring out what is going on in Basra and Bagdhad, so I thought it might be a good idea if Tony Blair got out the old guitar, a sheet, tea-towel and the trusty bottle of walnut juice.
