The Darkness. The Light.
And the Power of Music!
Jake Fountain is a college age Working Class Joe who has natural musical talent and aspires to be a successful singer songwriter. His everyday life, however, is falling to pieces, until one fateful day when he let to find a mystical grove in the stand of timber near his home in northern Wisconsin. There he meets up with Walter, appointed representative of The Trustees, a group of spiritual beings from down through the ages, who inform Jake, much to his bewilderment and chagrin, he has been chosen to be “The Last Troubadour” – a bard with a mission to right wrongs through rhymes and songs.
The Trustees give him a magical lute that can transfix listeners as did the mythical lyre of Orpheus. The lute also endows him with variety of powers outside the normal realm of sound and physics, each of which is triggered by strumming a pertinent, if somewhat obscure, musical chord. The power Jake uses to his advantage most often is teleportation, which gets him into and out of any number tight jams. The lute’s teleportation sound, “Woink!” TM will soon rank with “Thwip” and “Snik” as one of the classic comic book character signature sound effects.
Jake’s primary antagonist is Mentone, a moody self-absorbed, violence-prone heavy metal head banger who sneers at the idea that music has any other purpose than to help him get laid and gain power, money, and fame.
Mentone has a girlfriend named Katherine who is devoted to him at first but slowly becomes disenchanted with him and frightened of his new-found indulgence in the occult. When the Last Troubadour makes his public debut by disrupting a major concert appearance for Mentone, she is outraged at first. But, she begins to realize that maybe the Last Troubadour, with his disarming wit and hopeful world view, might provide the only way to save Mentone from himself, and Katherine in the bargain.
