There is nothing more satisfying than a story well told. Even better when it’s a yarn full of fantasy and flights of fancy, narrated with spirit, and accompanied by musicians who understand and enliven the tale with their efforts. Leave the world at the door, and prepare to be transported with words and music to the city of the dead.
Alas, another whole year to wait for the most wonderful time to roll around.
