I can only say GSS to all. You lot are particularly clever today.
Dear Steve K: yeah, not so much.
Random thought —
What if the other guy was an ordinary agricultural worker, and the giraffe-woman’s magick fiddling caused him to freeze in place (possibly past his bedtime) and now he’s died. On his way to reap some wheat with his deluxe sickle, in a fab new black robe, and here he is some months later, now only a skeleton with a tattered cloak. Waaay past his bedtime.
The skeleton could be either laughing out loud, yawning, or gaping in amazement at something beyond the cover’s limits — like a wild beast about to pounce, or the arrival of a deity, or something. It isn’t relating to the woman. Does she even know its there? Maybe when she looks up she’s going to get a helluva surprise.
Or, maybe the skeleton was about to strike her dead from behind, but then she started playing a song that reminds it of a long-lost love, so its mouth is hanging open while emotion overcomes it. I kinda like this scenario.
Also, crappy title. Does it refer to a special fair just for fiddlers, or that the female fiddler herself is fair?

“We’ve had a complaint about the noise – it’s past bedtime.”

“What part of ‘The Forest of Death’ did you not get?”
Is it supposed to be entertaining or frightening? Quoting Stephen King seems to imply the latter!

Perhaps the weirdest cover band in the history of cover bands. Dead Zeppelin.

Cover is from the sequel to “The Devil Went Down to Georgia” entitled “The Reaper Went Down to Devon”.

“Thanks for the offer of a fiddle contest. Maybe some other time. You’re dead”.

Needs more cowbell.

Exactly how many cervical vertebrae has this lass got?

You’re not fooling anyone with that Halloween costume, Mick.

@7 Tat Wood, she does seem to be related to a giraffe, now that I look at it.

@Ryan, Tat. I think the Grim Reaper has already severed her head and just stacked it on top of the fiddle.

“I don’t do fiddles. I’m more of a double bass type.”
@Raoul: and laughing hysterically at the result?
@THX1139: clearly it’s past the Grim Reaper’s bedtime. Just look at that yawn!

Terrifying indeed. As is that first “F”.

I was THIS close to posting a “Wassaaap?” joke, but just then the Grim Reaper tapped me on the shoulder and shook his head ominously…
