[SCA-AE] Music in AEthelmearc

[Beth]

Greetings,

Once upon a time, when AEthelmearch was still a principality of the 
East, there were bardic circles at nearly every event that I went to.  
People sang on their way to events.  People told stories at shire 
business meetings.  When SCAdians got together at fighter practice, 
music seemed to come out of the equipment bags as the fighters pulled 
out their gear.  When I moved south and lived in Atlantia for a couple 
years, it was the same there.

Upon moving back to Pennsylvania, I found AEthelmearc coming into its 
own as the principality was in the final steps of becomming a kingdom 
in its own right.  The music just doesn't seem to be as prominent now.

I miss that aspect of SCAdian life.

Where can one procure an AEthlmearch songbook?  Are they available 
online? Most importantly, what recommendations do you have to promote 
interest in the bardic arts...not just songs but stories and jokes and 
tales of our history?

In service,
Rose Thorne
