Unpresidential

I often think Presidents' Day is a holiday cooked up by auto dealers and electronics shops. I'm not sure why Washington's and Lincoln's birthdays are an occasion to go buy stuff on sale, and I also think it's pretty awkward to try linking these anniversaries to some non-specific honoring of US presidents. Regardless, I have the day off, and hopefully, so do you, and let's be happy about that. Meanwhile, here's a tune that's about as far from American pseudo-holidays as I can think of. Let's raise a flagon of mead to these troubadour faeries of olde English woodplaces!
