[Bards] Differing Styles

[Brian O'hUilliam]

You make a decent point, however, wouldn't a storyteller benefit from
learning rhythm by doing poetry?  Couldn't that help them learn pacing and
word stress better?  Remember, poem and story are classified as two
different styles, so it would not be necessary for someone who is tone deaf
to sing.

On another note, great post Robin!
