2 Sides 2 Every Story - Robin Hood & the Sheriff of Nottingham


Robin Hood & The Sheriff of Nottingham
by Vince Stadon





Based on the enduring legend of Robin Hood, as popularised by Sir Walter Scott in “Ivanhoe”

Side One: At the Stag and Hounds pub in Nottingham, England, we share a few lagers with thuggish amateur darts player Robin Hood (Jeff Niles), and hear his alarming views on destiny, the English Working Class, the influx of foreigners, violence as a solution, the Merry Men, and all that...

Side Two: As he watches the waves lap against the shore on Ocean Beach, San Diego, the ex-Sheriff of Nottingham (Dave Weaver) enthuses about his new vocation as a Life Guru and guitarist, seeks to resolve his anger issues, and strives to come to terms with his antagonistic relationship with the Hooded Man.
