<P>I know that i asked one of the hearalds if there would be time for me to sing the song i had composed for you and i was only able to atend on Saturday of that day due to my mundane employment. The hearald was to tell me if there would be time and the only time he told me was while i was marshalling for rapier. It is not with disrespect for your agust personage that i wrote that. Every time that i had a moment, you were surroiunded by others and I felt it an intrusion upon your ascension to bother you when you were about high business. It would be my honor to sing the song for you and all present, as it was written in honor of your elevation, at the next event. I beg your forgiveness if i passed up a chance to sing it for you without interrupting your conversations about matters of state. What does mater is that we have a new Baron and Baroness with youth and vigor and the best
interests of the barony at heart.Once again, my apologies if i missed a chance to sing that song for you. Of course after hearing me sing, you might not have had an appetite for the feast...LOL.</P>

During feast, there were also bardic performances. I don't<BR>>recall you ever coming forward during the event saying that you would<BR>>like to perform, so can't see how you can say that I was too busy to<BR>>listen to you. Those who know me know that I have a great love and<BR>>respect for the bardic arts, and I would not want others to have the<BR>>impression that it was otherwise.<BR>><BR>>Respectfully,<BR>>Donnchadh Beag mac Griogair<BR>>Baron of Namron<BR>>_______________________________________________<BR>>Bards mailing list<BR>>Bards@lists.ansteorra.org<BR>>http://lists.ansteorra.org/listinfo.cgi/bards-ansteorra.org<BR></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></div></html>
