And here I thought it was pronounced “vah-SHELL”.

@Evil Midnight Lurker, Ha! Indeed, “like Rachel” is the CORRECT way to pronounce it, I don’t know why I always chose to pronounce it wrong.

I did indicate it once in the strip too. There was a word play of a “Vachelism” sounding like “Botulism.” :)

Huh, I’d always assumed Vachel was pronounced like Rachel.

Thanks, guy! <3

@Rbiemer, I would LOVE to hear Maddy prior take a swing at this. It’d be great to hear this done by people who sing/play ballads more traditionally.

Chris,
Lovely song! I must admit that the way I was hearing it in my head was much like Steeleye Span…think you could get Maddy Prior to cover this?
:)

Loved seeing this all again, and a great ending, too. I bought the poster for a friend for Christmas, the first time this came around.
