I saw the idea for the "Pied Piper" song, and thought it was
teriffic. So I sent the following mail to GZ:

My Mail:

I know you're busy, so I'll get to the point.

Song: Pied Piper: Causes a MOB to follow the bard in a
non-aggressive manner for a short time (or group if
AE). Too powerful? Failure causes aggro on bard, or
MOB(s) go aggro on bard when song is stopped.

I heard you were looking for bard song expansion
ideas. I saw this posted on the bard mailing list; it
looked fresh and original to me, so I thought I'd make
sure it got to your attention.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

His Response:

Yea - I have all the songs we currently need, but i'd love to swap
one or 2 out for something that is (a) balanced (b) unusual and (c)
won't take much, if any special coding.

Feel free to repost that. :)
