Then why use the term "bardic" to refer to all music? There are other
terms which don't carry as much baggage, and aren't as confusing. As
we've seen from the recent discussion, some folks define "bardic" to
not include many kinds of music... and actually I don't do anything
"bardic", by their definition. Which is fine by me, I'm a minstrel
when I'm performing.
