i don't know why but fiddle playing crickets come to mind, dressed in waistcoats.
when you say dancing while playing do you mean just jumping around or something more involved - as in intricate dance steps? i tap a foot in time to the music and will sometimes emphasize something i play with my body but anything beyond that - i think - would require a mental (to say nothing of physical) dexterity that i don't think i could muster. interesting idea though. always on the lookout for a nice, piazza-wowing effect. i play a relatively inexpensive charango with a double-up piece of ribbon that i use as a strap. i don't imagine there are many who perform in the street as we do, who would risk damaging their $1000 + lute by leaping over curbs and cobble stones. - bill "and thus i made...a small vihuela from the shell of a creepy crawly..." - Don Gonzalo de Guerrero (1512), "Historias de la Conquista del Mayab" by Fra Joseph of San Buenaventura. go to: http://www.charango.cl/paginas/quieninvento.htm Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
