It was sometime after season two, that the buzz about the show was at a fever pitch and I couldn’t ignore at least taking a look at the first season. There was also Ted Nasmith’s paintings that lured me in...One of the elements that drew me in was this story of the Wall, and the Rangers. I loved the way the supernatural elements were kind of scoffed at by some of the characters, kind of like our own world, nobody believes monsters are real, but a few folks still do. But here you have the Rangers, who are the only thing that stands between this creeping doom from the north, and they have to devote their whole life to keeping the evil north of the Wall. The parallels between Tolkien’s Rangers were kind of obvious, this rag tag bunch that lies on the outskirts of society, but without them, the dark forces would have overrun Middle-earth. Most of their work and sacrifice goes unseen. I think a lot of people can identify with that, and I think it has a lot of spiritual implications for people today, so it resonates. Many people struggle today because they feel their personal sacrifices go unseen, and unrewarded. All the Rangers want, or at least take an oath to want, is to keep their honor intact. So there is a constant fight, and death is the only release from their post. When I heard the oath of the Rangers, I thought that would be a cool foundation for a song, and the mental connection to the Rangers in Tolkien’s world made it easy for me as a first song for Lonely Mountain Band that is totally from another story, another author." - John DiBartolo of Lonely Mountain Band https://minstrelsongs.com/track/the-nights-watch

The first episode in what will hopefully be a new ongoing series of 'mini-documentaries' of sorts... Taking a cue from the tales & details I write inside the liner notes of my various albums, I thought it would be interesting (to some folks,) to be able to view video versions of those liner-note stories. The story of this first episode; "The Guitar That Was Broken," is taken from the liner notes from the song; "A Chance-meeting (In Middle-earth), which appears on the LMB album, "The Bard of Lost Tales." It's a tale about finding what other view as worthless garbage and turning that discarded refuse into something beautiful. Its a tale about being content with simple things & seeing little miracles in the mundane, if mundane you call it! It's a tale about not letting 'experts' tell you your quest or tiny talent is worthless. It's a tale about going on an unexpected journey amidst the 'long-defeat'. The heart of the tale is meaningful, but we have to laugh at ourselves and the absurdity of the hopeless quest along the way. I hope this tale inspires you to dig up something wonderful that was previously discarded, lost, and forgotten under the stinking refuse of the troll caves you have to venture through everyday!
