“Misha was a boy who never listened to his mother …”

A song about a petulant little ornery twerp that gets his just desserts from Baba Yaga. One of the first songs I ever wrote; it took nearly two decades to record and release it. Performed extensively with an earlier musical incarnation (The Fenbi International Superstars) I now include it within folkefire sets whenever the mood strikes. Slava Ukraini!
