This is a very incomplete selection of songs that I have been known to sing, usually at get-togethers with friends, or at revels in the SCA (where I'm known as Erich Hlodowechssun). The page is still very much under construction, but I have begun (as of 28 November, 2004) to work on it again.
I have started notating music and generating MIDI files for many of the songs. Please note that the MIDIs are rather simplistic and the chordal accompaniments do not represent any arrangements I might use on guitar or bouzouki.
