Richard composing a musical piece?

I was really taken when I saw this depiction of Richard III by Finnish artist and Ricardian member – Riikka Liisa Kyllikki Nikko.
The picture really captures the archetypal Laurence Olivier image and is full of pent up energy.

When he was Governor of the North, Richard intervened when the Lancastrian Robert Bolling filed his petition to Edward IV to plea for his lands back after his attainder. Richard endorsed the petition to his brother by signing the outside of the scroll. So, after fourteen years in the wilderness, the Bollings got their home back with no small thanks to Richard. My family are therefore indebted to him.

    This site seems to get a large ammount of visitors. How do you get traffic to it? It offers a nice unique twist on things. I guess having something authentic or substantial to say is the most important thing.
