"Ok, just where the f*ck am I ... Whose floor is this anyway. Have we been properly
introduced. I'm not in the habit of sleeping with every carpet I meet on a first date.
Err ... Just you seemed rather convenient at the time. Sorry can I get back to you on
that ...
MARAUDER ... .... Get me out of here now. Geez dude, what the hell happened ?"
Some say he is a proud member of: "The most paranoid group of people in the Community."
Well, me fellow lads and lasses, I fear Sancho was being a bit nice and clever when he told the story of what occurred. Here's what really happened. At the end of the Space Cowboys gig, I climbed back up on the stage to give every member a hearty hug and kiss on the cheek, and when I got to Rattlesnake Joe, who was at the front of the stage, me darned steel tipped boot (right rudder) got stuck in me pretty skirts. I didn't just fall off the stage. I was propelled airborn, and then fell with an unseemly thump, the "liver lights" as they say, knocked out of me. Sancho covered for me, and then carried me up to me private room.
But I hear that folks stayed on; the bands played bravely and raucously; folks got so smashed they didn't know what the heck was going on, though I hear everone enjoyed it when Sancho figured out how to open the door to the external dome seating and brought the stars into the pub. Of course, yer all stars in me thinkin'. But I'm not surprised that Hoodlum found himself tangled up in a rug. Doesn't sound like too bad an experience. I hope everyone had a great time, and now that Hope's Haven is officially open, we will be having special evenin's. (Of course, every eveniin' at the Haven is special, but I am speakin' in the way of special acts or events.)
I'm still nursin' a wee (well actually maybe twice a wee) lump on my head and have aches all over, but Sancho is plying me with me own special healin' brew, and I expect to be up and about in no time. Thanks to all for showin' up to toast the openin' of me new place, and please spread the word, for Hope's Haven is more than just a pub. It is also a place for anyone seeking sanctuary, and I have lots of very comfy hidy holes where folks can rest up, recuperate, or just stay out of the way of something nasty for awhile. Needless to say, the full fare of the pub, both food and drink is available.
And a special thanks for Hoodlum for sending me "Hey 19" by Steely Dan. Always liked the music of that lot.
I'll soon be back in the bar, tendin' with me lovely wenches, but in the meantime, they do a darned good job without me.
"Oh boy ... Foods just about to be served here ... The kitchen is 'kin mess, considering
the caterers have their own tent ... I'm a little more laid back now ... Falling down time
is upon us. Cigarette and coffee about now.
Gaucho is now a much better album, not being in the shadow of Aja ... Then again Deacon
Blue, is where my handle came from ... Fellow Hoodlums ... Not a rated CD in their time,
Still, some good music to be heard. Steely Dan - Aja - Deacon Blue - Fellow Hoodlums ...
Damn convoluted. At least I know what I'm talking about ... Your Swaying Arms.
Jeez this beers good ... Pass me my Walther dear. PPK anyone ?
License to fill ?...

"Your asking me?" marauder grinned rather sheepishly, "I woke up under a bar tap mate, no idea what happened after we got through the doors to be honest..."
"I must have been an excellant night out, I don't remember a thing and no-one'll tell me what happened or if I did anything stupid, so it musta been a really good night."

:::sassy young wench pours the best ale in the house into the biggest glass and hands it, smiling sweetly to Lord Methos, and curtseys nicely:::
Only the best for you, Lord Methos, and I have that direct from Skye herself who be healin' nicely in her rooms. If you ask me ::: wench leans a bit closer and lowers her voice::: knowing Skye, we'll be lucky if we can keep her in her rooms. Hope's Haven be her dream an her baby if you know what I mean :::winks::: And whatever ye did, all that matters is Skye likes ye, so I'll make sure ye get the best room. :::smiles again and scoots quickly towards the bar:::

One Siderwinder Fang, and keep'em comin..... :laugh:
:::mid-aged lovely wench behind the sterling silver bar begins to pour into a sparkling beaker glass:::
One Siderwinder Fang comin' up for ye, Angel. Welcome to Hope's Haven, and I'll be sure to let Skye know ye stopped by. She's that fussy about knowin' every detail, ya know. :::Hands the dring across the bar::: I be Faer Light by name, so I'll keep an eye out fer ya again.
:::pretty young wench goes up the side steps onto the stage; walks over to mic:::
Well, and I see it's a brave and bucko gang of lads out there tonight and some lasses as well. Welcome to Hope's Haven. If you haven't already been served, just wave yer hand at one of our lovely lasses. You'll recognize them by the necklaces they wear ... be a silver pendant (same silver as this here bar below) with an etched star trailing stardust ... pretty if I say so meself. Skye had them made. She dabbles in the jewelry arts a bit.
Oh well, and aren't I just goin' on and on here. Well you just heard a nice acoustic solo set by Rattlesnake Joe, who decided to stay over a bit after all the goin's on during the Grand Openin'. And grand it was, so grand that not a mate or a lass can ere remember what 'appened.
Okay, okay ... I c'n see yer getting restless out there, so quit chafing at yer bits (you do remember horses, don't you?). We couldn't keep her away, so I am here to introduce Skyedaughter Lightfire. She be singin' the new song she had planned for the openin' afore she took the daft tumble off the stage.

:::beckons to the back curtain:::
Skye ...
:::Skye steps through curtain gingerly, favoring right foot, but still wearing her steel toed boots, skirts a plenty and a brocaid bodice laced with velvet over a silken blouse:::
:::walks, broadly smiling (no pun intende) to mic:::
Ah well, and it's nice to see such a good crowd tonight. I see there are a few stayovers from the Grand Opening ... sorry about that impromptu tumble, but it sure felt nice to have so many sweet faces peerin down at me, even though they were a bit blurry.
Well, enough said. Me wenches tell me I have to conserve me energy, so I just wanted to sing the one new song I was going to introduce in honor of the Grand Opening of Hope's Haven. And every day and night here be grand, so 'tis timely after all.

We all be star children, so here goes...
1.
We are children of the night
with starburn in our souls.
If you step out of the light
youll feel the urge to follow.
And well never stop til we get it right;
well never stop til we can fly.
2.
It was so long ago,
we learned to love the night sky.
And though we couldnt go,
we watched the stars dancing high.
And oh, how we burned in our dreams
with the longing to fly.
Chorus
Star children, its part of our history;
born longing to fly, from the moment we could breathe.
Stardust twined round our DNA,
built in to guide us on our way.
3.
It was drawn on the walls of ancient caves,
the others who came long ago to point the way,
to rise up and leave the Earth below,
to fly on fire, the bravest of the brave.
And oh how the visions burned in our dreams,
and oh how we counted the days.
4.
Now the sky is filled with light,
and star ships come and go.
And we fly with delight
watching galaxies turn, to and fro.
And now we are the lights burning in the sky
while others watch from below, longing to fly.
Chorus
Star children, its part of our history;
born longing to fly, from the moment we could breathe.
Stardust twined round our DNA,
built in to guide us on our way.
5.
We tell the stories to the little ones,
the fame and glory; and touching the Suns.
We see the starburn in their little eyes
as we kiss them, each and everyone.
And oh, how they burn in their dreams
With the longing to touch the unseen.
6. (Reprise Verse 1)
We are children of the night
with starburn in our souls.
If you step out of the light
youll feel the urge to follow.
And well never stop til we get it right;
Well never stop til we can fly.
And we never stopped til we could fly,
no, we never stopped til we could fly (fade)

:::puts guitar back on stand:::
Thank you all so much for lettin' me share that one song with you. It's been burnin' in me own soul to share it and now I'll turn the stage back over to the rest of the musicians. A good night to ye all, and enjoy it well. :::Skye blows a kiss to the audience, turns, and with one last look over her shoulder, tossing her long dark hair and smiling, disappears through the curtain.
