The Lark and the Wren (BARDIC VOICES 1) | Lackey

#BeginsWith #Voice

This one was tricky, but I was massively into Mercedes Lackey books in my teens, including her Bardic Voices series.

@Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

GondorGirl I adored this series as a teenager! 2y

I enjoyed this one. This is the first book of a four volume series. This tells the story of Annice, who renounces her royal heritage in order to become a bard with the ability to summon spirits from all four elements (“quarters”). To the dismay of her female lover, she becomes pregnant and has to go on the run as an outlaw when she rescues the father of her unborn child from execution. Excellent LGBT themed fantasy novel with great world building.

Come Write with Me: POETRY Workbook & Journal: (For Teens & Adults) Vol. 1 | Brooke E Wayne, Robin Woods

I have long since read that in Celtic/Irish society the bards were the historians, musicians, and poets. Well, I‘m a historian and a musician, so I thought for St. Patrick‘s Day (March, really), I would learn a little about writing poetry. I can‘t wait to see what kind of rubbish I can come up with in the next 31 days with this bad boy. 😂🤣😂

GingerAntics I don‘t think this is going to count for #Joetry2021. Sorry, @CBee @Chrissyreadit 3y

Chrissyreadit Nice project! 3y

CBee @GingerAntics you‘re a musician?? That‘s fab! What do you play? I‘m a former musician - piano. 3y

GingerAntics @CBee I‘m an over achiever by nature. I played the piano, guitar, drum set (my absolute favourite), some auxiliary percussion, clarinet, trumpet, violin and mandolin (which, fun fact, has the same fingerboard layout at a violin)...I think that‘s everything. lol I played snare in a pipes and drums band for a little bit in college. I would love to take up the Bodhran, just because it looks cool and has such a dynamic sound for being a single drum. 3y

GingerAntics @CBee I used to write rock songs with a few friends of mine, and I have a knack for changing the words to songs to make them totally relevant to the artist and make people laugh, so *in theory* I should be able to write poetry, but...*in theory* is the operative phrase. I always feel like I‘m better composing the music. The words sort of happen later for me. (edited) 3y

CBee @GingerAntics well, lyrics are poetry in a sense. You‘ve played so many instruments!! I‘ve not heard of the Bodhran, I‘ll have to look that up. I‘ve got to get back into music - I miss it so ♥️ 3y

GingerAntics @CBee once a musician, always a musician! I haven‘t had instalments in SO long. I mostly play/create music on my iPad at the moment. A Bodhran is a wide, shallow drum. The cool thing about it is that it‘s played with a short, single stick, but you use both ends sort of. You use the hand of the other than to change the pitch of the drum by sliding your hand along the back of the head. 3y

CBee @GingerAntics that sounds amazing! I wonder if it‘s hard to learn. Funny story about me - I tried out for band in middle school and wanted to play the clarinet so badly. I tried out better on the clarinet than the drums, so those were my two choices. I got to learn clarinet 😁 because my drum try out was awful 😂 (edited) 3y

CBee @GingerAntics I‘ve always had great rhythm, but getting my hands and feet to work together in sync? No go 😂 Hence why I never could play the pedals on the organ 😁 3y

GingerAntics @CBee yeah, getting that four-way coordination takes A LOT of practice. If you can drive a stick shift, you can learn to get your hands and feet in and out of sync on command. It just takes a lot of patience and repetition. 3y

CBee @GingerAntics I can‘t drive stick either 😂😂 3y

GingerAntics @CBee 😂🤣😂 okay, maybe not then. 3y

CBee @GingerAntics hopeless cause over here 😂😂 at least when it comes to coordinating my hands and feet properly to play drums or organ 😁 3y

GingerAntics @CBee the whole feet thing with the organ absolutely blows my mind. I‘ve seen it done up close by a student in college, but oh my god I can‘t even begin to figure that out. Plus, you need special shoes. 3y

CBee @GingerAntics it‘s super hard. I finally stopped taking lessons because I just couldn‘t get it 🤷‍♀️ 3y

GingerAntics @CBee oh, you were actually taking organ lessons? Yeah, then I‘m sure you‘ve tried all kinds of things to get your feet to do their own thing. 3y

CBee @GingerAntics years ago, yep. I just never could get my feet to coordinate with my hands 🤷‍♀️ 3y

GingerAntics @CBee that‘s frustrating 3y

CBee @GingerAntics no worries. I got over it 🤷‍♀️😂 3y

GingerAntics @CBee 🤣😂🤣 3y
