I should hope a bard of An Tir could get through "The Brave and Bonny Host"- Kingom anthem, at least the chorus. Maybe "An Tir the Bold", "An Tir Evermmore"- we beat Atenveldt at a war, and even "The Naughty Young Maids of An Tir"? If they would choose to sing that one. (Personally I could probably pull off all except some of the verses of "Brave and Bonny".) Probably a few songs from your local group, either popular or filks or originals that talk about your branch or someone who lived there or even a particular war would go over well. And maybe one piece you wrote, or helped write, or you know the author. Maybe one story or bad joke to top it off. By my thoughts the above could be something to work towards in creating a well-rounded performer. Not everyone wants to do all those things, not everyone will learn enough songs or stories to "cover the bases" in some peoples minds, but *I* say A for effort. > Thanks... > - -conchobar See ya around, Ekatarina ------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, send email to majordomo@pbm.com containing the words "unsubscribe minstrel".
