I still think y'all are missing the point about the value of music as a commodity, in a low-tech world where canned music doesn't exist. Similar to how everyone wants to have a Physicker around for after the battle... when it's time to party, everyone wants to have a Bard around. That, alone, is enough to justify the +1 reaction, in my mind. Even Scholars get a +1 reaction "in all civilized areas", i.e. among people who respect learning. But everyone likes music.
