Click
here for an
mp3 file of Bil Linzie playing the "Mason's Apron"
at a 1999 Althing. This song was played in the evening around
the central fire...as Bil Linzie played some traditional
songs.
I found this song on the Irminsul
Ættir website
and thought folks might find it interesting. Irminsul Ættir
is an Ásatrú church organization, a voluntary
association of Ásatrúar to practice the
religion, network, share resources, create educational
material and programs, fostering cooperation within Ásatrú.

I cleaned up the sound
quality a bit, and amplified it so you can hear his playing a
little better. (If you can't play mp3's and want a WAV file, then
here
it is.)
