  • Dread Pirate Roberts

    My daughter was going on and on making up a story about a pirate and a princess. I got to thinking about the Dread Pirate Roberts, and what may have happened after he and his Princess Bride sailed off together. I was going to watch American Idol, but instead, I wrote and recorded this silly…
