<html><div style='background-color:'><P>Gerald.....Point well taken about the respect. I have earned that in the lists and it is probably my own fault that I have not done the same in bardic. From this point on, i will read a lot of posts and be more silent.</P>

Kat and I, Alden, a few others, try to insure that there is some type of bardic activity at events we attend. I play at list fields during the day and wander about to spread the music. While it's not EASY to find a place to introduce a song during an event now, we can work at finding ways of working with stewards and offering our services to our landed nobles so that they will feel more at ease at calling upon performers. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV>I think the idea of a bardic college is wonderful.</DIV>
<DIV>I think the subgroups within the society should work together to fit into the already established beaurocracy whenever possible to make the whole stronger. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Someone I respect greatly once told me that if we held Queen's Champion in Trimaris, there would be Rapier fighters from Ansteorra there to fight for HRM.</DIV>
<DIV>It is up to the Bardic community to show Ansteorra the contribution they can make and we as Peers and officers to support them.</DIV>
