Greetings all <br>
<br>
Below is an email I've sent to all the KW A&S Ministers, hopefully
to be forwarded to their bard's list. (I'm hoping they're all list
members). Now, no one can blame me if I just happen to be the first to
forward it and you just happen to be the first to get it, can they?<br>

<br>From Ihon Vinson macFergus, OL, <span style="font-family: Arial;">Deputy Minister of Arts
& Sciences for Bardic and Performance, Ansteorra<br>Grace to you and peace<br><br>I hope to schedule a day of performance at Gulf Wars to coincide with an </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">Open A&S Faire hosted by Meridies & Gleann Abhann. Below, is a missive about that endeavor as well as other performance opportunities during the week. Would you please forward this to any of your kingdom lists where it might find those interested in participating? Your help is greatly appreciated.

<p><span style="font-family: Arial;">Greetings and felicitations
to the Know World Bards, Minstrels, Troubadours, Jongleurs and Performers of
any ilk from Ihon Vinson macFergus, who braves count himself one of your
company.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial;">Gulf Wars is but three weeks
hence.<span> </span>Much to the dismay of some, performance
has no formal competition or scheduled meet during the week.<span> </span>I write to inform you of two standing
opportunities (in addition to impromptu fire walks and circle) and especially
to invite you to participate in a new opportunity.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial;">Last year, the Green Dragon
Tavern sought musicians to play for the evening revels Tuesday through Saturday
evenings.<span> </span>I <i>assume</i> the Dragon will repeat that opportunity this year though I
have seen no solicitation.<span> </span>In addition,
on Thursday evening, HL Gerald of Leesville and Lord Madog of Gastonbury have
hosted a Bards and Brew at the Ansteorran Royal Pavilion.<span> </span>His Lordship assures me at the very least the
Bardic will take place </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial;">I invite you to perform<span> </span>at the Open A&S Faire, Thursday, at Bede
Hall, from 10:00 am - 4:00 pm, hosted by Meridies & Gleann Abhann and offer
to set up, publish and advertise a schedule of performances.<span> </span>If you are interested, please contact me at
<a href="mailto:jhirling@gmail.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">jhirling@gmail.com</a> with<br>
<span> </span>your persona name,<br>
the type and name of piece, and<br>
and the time you need.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial;">If you have a preference on
when you would like to perform, I will try, but cannot promise, to honor your
request.<span> </span>I recommend limiting any one
piece to 10 minutes or less.<span> </span>If you
desire to perform more than one piece, I will try to accommodate that as time
permits.<span> </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial;">My hope is that we can fill
the air with song, verse, and other performance to liven the spirits of all.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial;">Yours in service,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial;">Ihon Vinson macFergus, OL</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial;">Deputy Minister of Arts
& Sciences for Bardic and Performance, Ansteorra</span></p>
