So today is the first day of autumn, which is also my daughter Skye's birthday, which is why her first name is Autumn, and since Skye's nickname since she was a baby was Leeli, I also named the sweet little Wingfeather girl Leeli, which is why I'm writing this post here. Got it?Skye is one of the most interesting, delightful, beautiful people I know, and she has a lovely singing voice. I thought today would be a good day to give you all a little birthday present in her honor. A free download of "My Love Has Gone Across the Sea," sung by the original Leeli Wingfeather--featuring me on guitar, as well as accordion legend Jeff Taylor, fiddle legend Stuart Duncan, and guitar legend Nate Dugger on lap steel. (You may also recall a dog in Ban Rona named Dugger. That dog, supposedly, could also play a mean lap steel.)If you're new around here, or haven't read the books, this song is from the end of The Monster in the Hollows--Leeli sings it over a certain dying monster during a battle. This recording was a reward for the folks who contributed to the Kickstarter campaign for book four last year, and I think it's time to release it to the world. It's about a wife whose husband has sailed away on some mission, and when he loses his way, she decides to go and find him--even if it kills her.When you listen to it, say a prayer for my girl. I'll be eating mounds of cake.Many thanks to the finest readers in the world,APCLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE SONG.
