I just had an epiphany. I was asked a question - In your opinion can someone be a bard even if they are not able to compose? My answer is yes, someone can be a bard without composing. However, that person (and any performer) has to know their audiences really well. Because being a bard isnt actually about being a bard.....its about being attentive to the audience. Its about telling the story they need when they need it. And I realized that that is the whole deal with being an SCA bard. Ive known it forever, but never articulated it so clearly I think. Its about telling the story they need when they need it, whether you wrote it or someone else. The point is - being a bard is not about being the performer. Its something you are for someone else, not yourself.
