Heilsa, All!

        You know, this is a really silly worry, I have never heard
ASCAP-type stuff performed at an SCA event.  If people in the SCA would
confine themselves to singing period music or music appropriate to a period
atmosphere, we would pretty much be avoiding the ASCAP music altogether.
This is just another reason to take some time to either write your own
stuff, or learn a period tune!
