<DIV><SPAN class=083073303-14042004><FONT face=Arial size=2>Well, that was
fun. Not quite as productive as the last two, but fun anyway. We
seem to have reached a learning plateau. Sooo, I'm making a request 2
weeks in advance for the next bard-a-long night:</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<FONT face=Arial size=2>I would like to start scheduling Guest
Bards. It would work like this - if you are a bard, and you know ANY SCA-
or period-related songs that might be fun for a group to sing around a
campfire, you can pick one Bard-a-long night when you are available
and tell me you would like to come teach. Let me know what songs you want
to teach. Then, that night will be reserved for us to learn from
you. Bard-a-long nights are 2nd and 4th Tuesdays from 7:00pm to
10:00pm. If you cannot make those nights but would really like to come, we
can schedule an emergency session :).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=083073303-14042004><FONT face=Arial size=2>The songs we know so
far are:</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Gypsy Rover</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Circles</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Drunken Circles</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=083073303-14042004><FONT face=Arial size=2>Surely, you bards
out there know more songs than this. We need people who both have the
lyrics and can teach the melody. This combination is rare.

<DIV><SPAN class=083073303-14042004><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm begging.
I'm pleading. PLEASE TEACH US. If you teach us well enough so
we can teach someone else, we'll be happy. I've heard of lots of songs
like Cold Beer, Donald Where's Your Trousers (which we're starting to
learn) and others that we can find lyrics to but no one who knows the
melody well enough to teach them. Even learning Whiskey in the Jar and Jug
of Punch would be good as I don't like the way they're sung on CDs I
have.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=083073303-14042004><FONT face=Arial size=2>I know that though
there are many wonderful bards out there <coughUlfcough> that don't have
much time, but we'll take any scrap of time that you can give us.
