EXCELLENT ... one down (Cora Tealeaf, that is) ... four to go!While on the theme of the thread, here are a bunch of songs probably a little less familiar to my fellow enworlders:Barbarian - Donald McGillavry by Silly Wizard (note: Run to the Hills by Iron Maiden strikes me as something the barbarian would be singing himself while attacking his foes, targets, whatever.Bard - How Can I Keep from Singing? (by anyone - Enya will do) and Tramps and Hawkers by the Battlefield Band.Cleric - Invisible Sun by the Police.Druid - The Hare Song by Maddy Prior and The Deer Song ( a traditional instrumental piece from Japan played on a Shakhuhachi flute).Fighter - Wee Michael's March by the Battlefield Band again.Monk - In the Chess Court (a piece from the soundtrack of the recent movie Hero when Sky and the main character of the movie were fighting in their mind - it was a piece played on the lap held string instrument that broke during the mental combat just as Sky was "defeated".)Paladin - this was actually one of the hardests ones for me. The only thing that came to mind was The Glory of Love by Peter Cetera! Phooey....Ranger - I will find you by Clannad (a highly abbreviated version of this was actually used in the movie Last of the Mohicans) and Cití Na gCumann by Altan (although I am not sure why I make the connection with this one).Rogue - I'm a rambler, I'm a gambler (Gordon Bok's version of this) and Farewell to the Gold (an old folk song about depleted mines).Sorceror/Wizard - I lumped these together ... there is an amazing instrumental piece by The Chieftains on one of their albums that includs a digiri doo at the end of the piece. It is very "atmospheric", exotic, almost "eastern" and always reminded me of the arcane arts somehow-----As an addendum, some racial additions:Elf - The Memory of Trees by EnyaDwarf - the singing of Tolkien's poem from the Hoobit in the animated Rankin Bass film from the late 70's has always stuck in my mind as "standard dwarf fare" to this day.Halfling - The Greatest Adventure by Glen YarboroughGnome - "The Mountain" ... this is a very thought-provoking instrumental piece played on a two stringed guitar from the area of Khazakstan which compares life to the ascent and descent of a mountain. It is amazing how many notes an accomplished player is able to get out of an instrument with only two strings!</blockquote>
