Changeling Fiddlers

qosFor several years now, I've enjoyed the music of Heather Alexander (including having the pleasure of seeing her live at a local Ren Faire), but until today I had not sought out the performances 'she' has done since becoming Alexander James Adams.
This afternoon, however, I finally found myself on his webpage and watched a video of a live performance of "He of the Sidhe", which is a kind of companion piece to Heather's "The Faerie Queen". I enjoyed the performance, and will be obtaining some of his CD's the next time I get paid, but what fascinated me the most was how he talked about Heather as a separate person, a changeling who was summoned back to faeryland.
I also enjoyed his description of her as a red-headed troublemaker, which made me smile and think of a particular friend of mine. I could imagine her brother saying similar things of her.
Like Heather, Alexander is quite a good fiddler -- although I don't think his fast playing has the musicality of the best that I've heard.
