"In this sequence I was attempting a florid grim music broken by grunts and shrieks."  --G*offr*y Hill, "Fun*ral Music: an *ssay"


This Bardic Art has long split into plain and fancy forms. Mostly plain is put to music nowadays. But bards still complain of low status, and bardic fancy talk is on occasion found culprit. Bards should look to lack of a musical background for why Plain Folk don't flock to bardic stand ups, i think.
