The Peasant Knight Eyja Bassadóttir had performed her wonderful rendition of Rosalind Jehane's poignant song during the knighting Taion Orbanus at the Fall Coronation in Northshield on 9 September 2017. I was not in a good position to get it recorded at the time but asked Eyja if she would sing it again for me so I could record it for posterity. Unfortunately, there is a lot of background noise but I love Eyja's take on the song. |

Post-Revel Midrealm Bardic Madness 2017 We had a limited amount of time for the Post-Revel/Bardic Circle after Mid-Realm Bardic Madness XIX: Bardic By the Numbers - Primus to Extremus, 18 November 2017, and so everyone was asked to just pick, pass, or play without introduction or explanation. I decided it would be more fun to edit it all together as one piece so everyone could get the feel of what it was like. Other than a few technical difficulties, here is most all of what went on for the last two hours of the event. Enjoy! |
