Nectar Of The Gods Nectar Of The Gods
A gentle 'acoustic' ambient piece using my Yamaha PSR 275 keyboard to mimic the sound of a Lyre, Pan-pipes and a 'heavenly' male/female choir. I've also used a couple of natural 'outdoor' samples; crickets chirping and bees 'buzzing'.



Stories Of Old (A Knight's Tale) Stories Of Old (A Knight's Tale)
An acoustic guitar version of a tune we used to sing at Junior school.(That's 8 to 11 years for those of you not from the UK) It's a melody that I can remember well from all those years ago.
