I wrote a song!

[amethyst73]

One of my hobbies is volunteering for Librivox.org.  (Its mission is to produce free audio recordings of all literature in the public domain in the USA.)  At the moment, I'm recording a little-known children's book by Lewis Carroll called Sylvie and Bruno Concluded.  Sylvie and Bruno are a pair of children from Fairyland, whom the mortal narrator occasionally comes across in the course of his day-to-day life.  In one chapter, little Bruno is sleepy and wants a lullaby:

"[Bruno] turned a loving look on the on the gentle old man who was sitting on the other side of his leaf-bed, and who instantly began to sing, accompanying himself on his Outlandish guitar; while the snail, on which he sat, waved its horns in time to the music."

Anyway.  I heard the tune in my head, and (worse) heard the guitar as well, and the resulting song became my summer project.  Carroll provided the words and illustrations in the video below (which is a rough draft - there's some issues, and I'd like to include all the words in a later version), I sang, and my computer played the guitar.  Enjoy!
