about

From my double-album Elderbrook, 2017 preliminary release: Violin Velvet is a busking watersprite in my Elderbrook Chronicles. VV is neither male nor female, but lemale. Le violin is made of black velvet with brocade strings and a needle for a bow. VV sleeps in a caravan with a dancing black cat and top hat, and hangs around carnivals, pageants, fairgrounds, or the Singing Fountains of Alderbee.

lyrics

'Violin Velvet'

Violin made of black velvet, strings of brocade:
Tunes are threads, weaving, braiding my tapestry of a parade
Violin Velvet, sew your song
Violin Velvet, won’t be long
Till I find a fountain where you may play on!
Needle for a bow, where your melody will go,
I don’t know, Violin Velvet...
