minstrel: 2 questions...

[Russell Gilman-Hunt]

Ok, this is interesting.  Here in An Tir, I haven't seen any real 
"standardization" of bardic stuff; I don't know that I could rattle
off three songs/stories/etc that every bard should know here.
Interesting idea.  Anyone else (Antirians?) see this?  Am I missing
my Guild card? *laughing*

Another question... I read somewhere that the Bodhran has something
like four main "beats;"and this corresponded to "ba-DUM," "BA-dum",
etc.  I thought it was on a web page.  I can't find it now.  But it
rang of
poetry; and since then I haven't been able to shake the idea of using
the bodhran to accentuate/underscore/highlight poetical rhythms in
a poem.  Has anyone experimented with this to any success?  How 
about failures?

Thanks...
