AND they took 2/3 of it on the road ( Read more... )

But I absolutely can experiment with adding sung and chanted lines for sure, and harp maybe if I ever get one [snip] But anyway, I can certainly vary my voice even now. I don't have to do it with Beowulf certainly, there is a wealth of Norse and Anglo-Saxon poetry that could take vocal experimental delivery.
I think that would be awesome! I'd totally be part of your audience.
