It works for me. 🤷‍♂️

Is this just any music, or Tolkien-based?

 

[Squint-eyed Southerner]

Any music, as can be seen (and heard!) from the posts here.

I did start a thread for ME-associated music some time ago:

🎶Music for Middle Earth

[Note: This thread was originally titled "Music for Rohan?", and my OP reflects this. I changed the title because, as you can see, things quickly got out of, um, han! :p] Maybe -- At least I can imagine it at Meduseld. See what you think:

thetolkien.forum

My original intent was to find music that might conceivably be heard there -- of course that soon got derailed. 😅

But if you can find some possibilities, they'd be welcome. And, as I said, here it's pretty much anything goes, within forum rules.

 

[Elbereth Vala Varda]

I see. Thanks for the clarity. I may send some things here soon!

 

[Squint-eyed Southerner]

Excellent! I'll just say that we mostly try to limit our posts to one or two at a time, to allow others to contribute. Takings turns, you see.

Although I notice I broke that "rule" above. 😄

 

[Elbereth Vala Varda]

I understand completely! I know there are some rules like that around here, mostly unspoken. For instance, in my RPGs, I practically never double-post. Just courtesy.

 

[Squint-eyed Southerner]

Of course, the "official" forum rules that apply here have mostly to do with language or politics; we have had to delete a (very) few posts which broke those.

Call the "unwritten rules" more custom. And, since another custom is to try to avoid extended "commentary" here, as on the Joke and Meme thread, I'll take the opportunity to mark a 50th (😳!) anniversary:

I see... That makes perfect sense. I make an effort to reread the rules every week.

Thought this was pretty cool 😎

Yeah! I posted something featuring throat singing-- four years ago now? 😳 -- on the Music for Middle-earth thread, as possible "Easterling music" :

If anyone would like to see the guy in person, I posted about him here:
