I've seen it mentioned several times that one would pretty much have to update it rather than using it as-is under the grandfather clause for unupdated 3.0 content due to the very different bardic music mechanics involved. In a way rather like how the Oriental Adventures Shaman class has an animal companion class feature ala 3.0(which is to say, it as the spell animal friendship on its spell list, which got axed in the transition from 3.0 to 3.5), but since it wasn't addressed in the limited update to 3.5 it received, people just play it as identical to the update to the Druid's animal companion.
I've yet to see any examples of how people have done just that, or even suggestions for how to begin going about it. These two (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=301912)threads (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=309930)got me wondering about it again though.
The only thing that comes to mind from what I remember offhand from the last time I read over the class in Races of Faerun would be to make it more along the lines of heartfire fanner and give it an effective bard level for purposes of bardic music uses and access and then progress that further with further levels of warrior skald.
