    This is a physical CD. This physical CD comes in a lovely six panel wallet and glossy finish. (There is no cellophane wrap however, in the hopes of adding a little less to the landfills.)

    Mary Crowell has returned to Mystic Fig studio to work with Jeff and Maya Bohnhoff. I Have Missed You at My Table is her fourth solo album and is a second jazzy love letter to gaming. Consider it the heir to Crowell's 2012 release, Acolytes of the Machine & Other Gaming Stories.

about

The halfling rogue would like a word with her companions about improving their animal husbandry.

lyrics

16. Why I Was Late (the Pony Song)
(Copyright 2019 by Mary C Crowell)

Halfling rogues are always late.
You hate waiting on us.

You tell us all to hurry up.

Complain about our slowness.

Chorus:
I know, I am late to the party.
I know, I am slow to the show down.
But I, I was hoping for a pony.
I know, we have got to get moving.
I know we have got a deadline.

But there’s, there’s no pony they can loan me.
Word has gotten around

There are no mules to be found.

You put one in the ground.

Last time . . .
And the time before that
And the time before that
And the time before that

Pony One was eaten up.

Pony two got fireballed

Pony three? He ran away

Found him in the dance hall.
Pony five fell in a pit

Next one was a kelpie.

Pony seven learned to talk

We heard them yelling, “Help me!”
[What about pony four?]

Chorus


[Fiddle Verse]

Every time we come back home

I am out of acid.
Holy water, everything.

Need my shopping basket.
Give me time for stocking up

Get some healing potions.

But the one thing I can’t seem to find?

Some form of locomotion.

Chorus
