Roads Go Ever, Ever On...

Saxolf provides a little roadside entertainment at Waymeet.
Since Turbine recently revamped the LOTRO music system, I thought I would take the occasion to gift everyone who subjects themselves to ... er ... "reads" my blog with this little gem. I searched everywhere for the ABC file to Roads Go Ever On (as composed by Maury Laws and Jules Bass and performed by Glenn Yarbrough from the 1977 animated film The Hobbit) so I could perform it in-game, but to no avail. Finally, about 18 months ago, I took it upon myself to transcribe it into a LOTRO-friendly format. Therefore, for anyone else who has searched desperately for this beautiful piece of music, here is my rendition as my way of saying "Thank You" for indulging and following me.

Note: You will need to copy and paste the code into a Notepad file in the source folder for your LOTRO music pieces. Simply follow the normal rules for playing ABC files in-game from there.
