SYBIL LUDDINGTON! I freaking LOVe her. She deserves a ballad much more than that Revere dude.

Thank you for this!

My pleasure :) Not heard of her before, and yes, the Revere story, if I recall rightly, wasn't as heroic as the poet made it out to be, anyhow ;)

Shall have to get the book about Sybil for my daughter...
