[Bards] Bards going to Gulf Wars

[Melody Soice]

To anaswer two emails with one--I am looking forward both to attending Gulf 
War and to learning the Anthem.  Thanks Finnacan, for posting the words.  I 
hope to be singing it in the minivan by the end of the week.    ;-)

Gerald, who's running the Ansteorran circle this year?  Are you really not 
going to be able to make it?  <wine, wimper>  What needs to be done?
