[Artemisia] BARD Competitions in general, and Bards

[John Harrison]

well, since I am a bard I think that it is something that we, as
bards, should do and teach.  So I would love it to spur intrest, but I
shall not even attempt to know the workings of how the topic was
brought about.  I shall leave that to the good gentle Caryn to
divuldge.

Yours in Service to the Dream,

Garath r' cath cara bardd
