[Bards] other people's works.

I don't think this is stuffy but simple courtesy. I would rather ask each
time rather than offend. You need to be very careful if you are in
completions. I have had people do the piece I was going to do. We need to
be careful because there are performers out there who are VERY touchy
about their work.
