Recorder, Microphone, Action. my love letter to the world, recorder microphone action.

A born fighter who battled all his life, older out of shape and heartbroken, the sharks are circling.

His own son is at his throat. The King of France is making mischief. The Scots are prowling on his northern border and on the horizon

is King Canute of Denmark making plans to come to England with a great army. War is looming

and money is needed. It its tax, tax and tax again.

As the most remarkable statistical document in the history of Europe is drawn up,

the Doomsday book.

Endevering to understand history in hopes of eliminating the future. I'm Neil Oliver and this is my love letter to the world.
