* BEING THE BLACK BOOK OF LOCKSLEY * a compendium of SCA and SCA-related Songs, Poetry, Humor, Satire, and Things that can be performed in an SCA Bardic Circle * compiled by Ioseph of Locksley, OL, OP, &c. NOT FOR SALE! FREE! *************************************** 2 *************************************** R E A D T H I S ! This is a compendium of Songs, Poetry, and other Stuff that I have picked up over 22 or so years membership in the Society for Creative Anachronism, Inc. This collection is NOT FOR SALE! It is FREE! It is made available for fair use within the SCA Inc. only, and must not be sold in any form. HOWEVER: There are copyrighted songs and poems in here. I have made every effort to credit authors, where known, and to give the appropriate copyright information. If an entry is marked by an author's name, but no copyright information accompanies it, then ASSUME IT IS COPYRIGHTED TO THAT AUTHOR AND DO NOT PERFORM IT FOR PROFIT! My own songs are free for performance, within the SCA, so long as credit is given. If you wish to record them........ contact CHRIS MASTERS PRODUCTIONS (602) 971-0114. Please credit your source, on the others. I wish I could credit everyone from whom I got some of these... Trude Lacklandia, Caradoc ap Cador, Gwyddion, Stephen of the Grove, Janos Throngcleaver, Bertram of Bearington, Thorfinn Halfblind, Giles "Funny Hats" Hill of Sweetwater, Yang the (very) Nauseating, Ciorstan ....and all the rest of the many creative crazies in the SCA. THANKS! This is NOT a complete selection of my own songs and poems, because some of them were written in the heat of anger, and thus are not suitable for publication! Don't ask! (even mundanely!) What you see is what you get! This collection may be copied and passed on to SCA and related groups. This file MUST be included. Enjoy! NOTE: Pagination is by area, due to the constraints of using electronic media, and not by the whole book. Page numbers have been left blank for -my- convenience. The pages are formatted for 60 lines per page. This collection may be file-requested thru any FIDO-net BBS using the filenames BARD-1.ZIP, BARD-X.ZIP, and SCAPOEM.ZIP. Address the file-request to 1:114/29 DEUS EX MACHINA BBS, (602) 439-8070. The files are periodically updated and expanded, and any updates can be found by file requesting 114-29.ARC. A collection of prose articles may be file-requested under the filename BARDIC2.ARC, and a large collection of Irish/Scots songs may be file-requested under the name CELTIC.ZIP..... -Ioseph of Locksley the Whyte Bard ******************************************** White Tree Productions - PO Box 35190 - Phoenix AZ - 85069 We are ALWAYS interested in more songs!
