Tomeoric...Middle-earth Friends (Part One)

Описание: Tomeoric is an exceptional music arranger, a generous soul, and a steady, loyal, unconditional friend. He came to my rescue with new music after Geoffroi passed away, as Andune strove for fresh music and lyrics every week, and I wanted to uphold that tradition. In fact, he shared his entire music library with me, that he made mostly for his own band, The King's Men. Tomeoric arranged so many songs for me, still does, and still says do whatever my muse directs, when it comes to the lyrics. He is incredibly hard working in all aspects of his life, highly disciplined, guided by his own high standards...and has a heart of gold. This is only the first part of "Tomeoric...Middle-earth Friends," but our collaborations feature in many of my themed films. There are several "inside jokes" in this compilation, as we have known each other for a very long time. I performed with him at Winterstock III, for instance, and attended his special Fish-o-Matic Fridays, a great many years ago. He's so talented. He's so kind. He's so generous. Thank you for everything, Tomeoric.
