[Bards] Greetings All

[Alden Drake]

Greetings bards and patrons of the list!
It is such an honor and privilage that I greet you all as the new Premier Bard 
of Ansteorra.  I apologize for the delay in doing so, but I wanted to give some 
thought to the role I've been honored with.  To me, holding the title of Premier 
Bard comes with a duty to support, encourage, and promote performing, as well as 
teaching the bardic arts to all who show interest.  In addition, I would like to 
encourage the bards of Ansteorra to come back together in the enjoyment of our 
arts; to foster a sense of fellowship among performers.

But my thoughts and opinions are just those of one person.  That I might better 
serve you and our community, I would like your input.  What do you see is the 
role of the Premier Bard, and what can we do as a community to come together to 
share our arts?

Yours in service,
Alden Drake
