So, I was at an Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) event.

The SCA is a medieval living history group, and the event was Day of Dance II & Bardic Bachanal.

It was potluck with dancing and bardic (music and story telling).

At the end of the evening, someone publicly thanked the musicians, and we all applauded, and then I shouted out, “Play Freebird.”

And damned if they did not start to play “Freebird”, on a guitar, a mandolin, a tenor recorder, and a bowed psalter…The lyrics were a filk, rather than the original, but the tune was there.

My life is complete now.
