a.k.a Wesley T. Niles, CPT of the Fairy Border Guard, and a list of other various aliases

About Me

I Have gone by Many names, and have done many deeds. Visited far off lands. Healed the sick, brought happiness to the disadvantaged, music to the deaf, defended borders, clothed the poor,and put food on the table. my many talents have been used to the benifit of man. Most reciently i have been using my talents at the Minnesota Rennaissance Festival. Helping musicians share their music with others by selling their Compact Discs. When not working in that capacity, thanks to a granted wish, I have been known to sprout a pair of wings and patrol the grounds under the name of Sir WESley Troubadocious NILEs III. CPT of the Fairy Border Guard, A.K.A the WEST NILE FAIRY, To ensure no children get lost into the fairy realm, and that the visiting fairys do not get kidnapped by the patrons. Playing a wide assortment of precussion and whistles, I greatfully learn many aspects of music from other musicians. I have even been known to frighten singing pirates while only running amuck. I'm willing to travel but currently my duties have me pinned down to this regional area. What the future holds... nobody knows. Layout Provided By FreeCodeSource.com - Myspace Layouts
