This song has been hiding away for 400 years. This song is neither brilliant nor poor but just a modest song for an average guy like me.

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
This song has been hiding away for 400 years. This song is neither brilliant nor poor but just a modest song for an average guy like me. It has never gone on CD or record before. What think you it should have been left hidden and forgotten for another 400 years? I started recording this song in January of 2002, just missing the 400th anniversary of publishing of the song by a few days. I did not get around to doing the vocal until August l, 2005. I was not happy with mixes of the song and did new mixes in November and then March of 2006. This June (2007) I have doubled the length of the song by editing 2 different mixes together. It is a short lyric with no other verses where most other songs have so many verses that I can not play them all.
Lyrics
My love is neither young nor old, Not fiery hot, nor frozen cold; But fresh and fair as springing briar, Blooming the fruit, blooming the fruit of love ' s desire. Not snowy white nor rosy red, But fair enough for shepherd ' s bed; And such a love was never seen On hill or dale or country green.
