Ballad Singing Circle

Nov 21, 2005 22:48

I'm interested in starting a traditional ballad singing session in Columbus, OH. This would be unaccompanied singing of English (collected by Francis Child, Cecil Sharp, etc.), Scottish, Irish (no Irish Rebel ballads, no Turaluralura), Appalachian, etc. traditional ballads ( Read more... )

I'm very interested.

I'm new to the Columbus area (moved here from Settmour Swamp in the East), and haven't really done much with the SCA since I've been here. I bardic afternoon would be perfect.

This will not be an actual SCA event - actually, I've only heard from one interested person in the SCA around here so far.

That's really ironic, I lived in the Akron area for three years (job transfer), then returned to the Eastrealm in '01, and now reside in Settmour Swamp.

Did we miss each other? I was always beating the bushes for bards...

You knocked him unconscious while beating the bushes. Use a smaller stick.

I'm available. I will be in Columbus that weekend after all. (By the way, welcome to the group.)

*grin* I smacked myself in the forehead when I finally thought of checking LJ for groups....and then laughed when I saw a post from you.

We didn't miss each other at all. :-)

You know me either as Trey or Maggie. We met through Ragnar and the Horde, (or maybe through my housemother Raven. I don't really remember). We've been at the same bardics a couple of times. We share some of the same frustrations with the state of music in the Swamp.

You're a much, *much* better musician and bard than I am. I'm more of a minstrel.
