<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>ahh but you are a bard! Who says your not? Comedy
has as much a place as does the ballad. What makes a bard is the willingness to
share. That's why when I tried to make my statements I would comment
"song/story". Some bards only sing, some only tell stories, and even some are
instrumental. If we all did the same thing then our community would become
stagnant and boring and not the vivacious and entertaining group that we are!

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The mark of a "True bard" is within themselves
wanting to entertain, so from your comments I would say you have the mark of a
bard! </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I look forward to meeting you someday and sharing a
bardic fire. Maybe between your and my instrumentation we can make a bardic
traveling band, though I wont be bringing the reeds LOL.</FONT></DIV>

<P>I will not even presume to be called a true bard. I am a swordsman who also
does Bardic, but your post has answered questions that i have wondered about i
have been a Bard but for 2 years and i play 6 instruments, sing a bit, tell
stories of neighboring shires and villages and do magic. Unlike yourself, mine
is more a comedy act than a true bardic performance. I will take your advice
to heart and hope i can win another competition such as i did late last year.
Your advice is both appreciated and wise.</P>
