Bardic Madness South VI - The Feast of St John the Fool |
---|
Greetings and welcome are bid to all Bards, Troubadors, Trouveres, Minstrels, Minnesingers, Jongleurs, Singers, Storytellers, Poets, Scops, Skalds, Fillids, Olaves, Griots, Wordsmiths, and Friends of these arts. Also Musicians, Dancers, Jugglers, Magicians, and Players as well.
Today, November 20th, is the feast of St John the Fool, patron of fools, waterfowl, and lozengy fabric. We're fairly certain that John lived in some century or other - we haven't yet decided which one to blame. Next to nothing is actually known about his life. We intend to fix that. After all, making up tall tales about people and then calling them, quite literally, gospel is a very period practice.
This year's event is being hosted by the Shire of Baile na Scolairi
(Bloomington, IL). Many thanks go to all of them for their hospitality
in helping the bardic community out this year.
