Guest of Honor Lineup, but that for the first time EVER she is bringing some of her music to our Musician Lineup as well! More info here:
We are the music makers,
And we are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers,
And sitting by desolate streams;
World-losers and world-forsakers,
On whom the pale moon gleams:
Yet we are the movers and shakers
Of the world for ever, it seems.
– Arthur O'Shaughnessy
