i cant speak for others, I have had three typical situations, each with a different dress. Since 1974 I have been a member of the Society for Creative Anachronism, to atten any of their events one must dress in garb and interact with others in persona as best as possible. Much of my music is done in that context, so I am dressed in garb of necessity. For a time I was a member of a colegium musicum, required dress was black pants and black turtleneck. Otherwise I perform casually in casual dress. I dont find the clothes making any mental difference, unless my hose are slipping of course. -- Dana Emery To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
