<BR>some of the old stories on tape, either at someone's home or even at an
<BR>event in private or very discreetly. It's difficult to remember some of
<BR>these tales from hearing them only once, and it might make it possible for
<BR>some of the bards in the farthest reaches of the kingdom to hear and carry
<BR>on the stories of past events. I know this has been done in the past with
<BR>Ansteorran songs, but I've never heard tapes of the stories. Perhaps we
<BR>could even get a collection from many different sources - Bards, Nobles,
<BR>Peers, Lions, and just people who've played in this kingdom for a long time.
<BR>Eventually it could all be written down perhaps. It's just an idea, feel
<BR>free to disagree, change, or add to it.

<BR> That's what I had in mind. I want to get a portable tape recorder
<BR>and lots of tapes and get some of the long-timers to remember out-loud. I'd
<BR>also like to se a collection of songs, poems and stories about the Lions of
<BR>Ansteorra. Why are these people Lions? I don't recognize a lot of these
<BR>names.
