This song was composed by Ivar Battleskald, MSCA,  and was his reply to a 
statement that since he had not taken an oath of fealty with his white 
baldric, he knew nothing of honor.  What a reply!  Ivar lived here in the 
Barony of Namron for many years, so I can probably dig up his phone 
number.  He now lives somewhere between Kansas and Missouri.

The song is supposed to be passed on orally, only.  I'm told you can make 
some notes while you learn it, but the notes then disappear, and you pass 
it on again orally.  Like something out the the Dark Ages... :)

I would be happy to try to teach it to you.  Please e-mail me privately 
at ulfie at usa.net.

"Born on the Listfield" should not be confused with the filk of it called 
"Bored of the Listfield".  One is stirring and driving, the other is 
stir-crazy drinking. :)
