Elisha Zaporelostzi's first performances were the Open Stages put on by the Bytown Live in Ottawa Ontario, Canada. It is how Neil Young and Joni Mitchell started. Phreap magazine is a one page thing that went around Ottawa in the 1980s. Now it is a web site; http://home.att.ne.jp/blue/patchan With the help of Joe-Charly Smith, Molly Ding, Calhoon-Fred Febealie, and Butter Jones I was able to put out Phreap magazine.

Story behind the song

Recorded on a contemporary electronic keyboard back in August (17 & 29,) 2001. 
This is from William Shakespeare's "The Tempest" and it is done with the original music by Robert Johnson (c. 1583  1633). In my instrumentation I do not stick to the octave Johnson indicated but try to do some highs and lows.
"The Tempest" was a late play by Shakespeare and we can call Johnson "Shakespeare's Lutenist" for this late period but not for the earlier period - A candidate for working with William Shakespeare in his earlier period is Robert Jones whose music can be found on my many sites.

Lyrics

“Where the bee sucks, there suck I”
By William Shakespeare

(from The Tempest)

Where the bee sucks, there suck I:
In a cowslip’s bell I lie;
There I couch when owls do cry.
On the bat’s back I do fly
After summer merrily.   
Merrily, merrily shall I live now
Under the blossom that hangs on the bough.
