I once went to a Renaissance "Faire" with a fellow modern musician (it was his suggestion). He said, "I'll bet you're happy. This is one place you'll see plenty of lutes in action." I wagered him a very hefty sum that we would not see or hear any lutes there. It was a most profitable day for me. Thanks again, SCA!

Many (certainly not all) somehow believing that assuming a bad cockney accent; whacking each other with wooden weapons while feigning the inability to use struck limbs; and listening to modern Irish, Scottish, or English folk songs strummed by steel-strung acoustic instruments somehow relates to late-medieval/early-renaissance life. If that's your thing, go for it. Myself, I kinda prefer music. -----Original Message----- From: [1][email protected] [mailto:[2][email protected]] On Behalf Of [3][email protected] Sent: Thursday, August 08, 2013 5:37 PM To: Stephen Fryer Cc: [4][email protected]; Nancy Carlin; [5][email protected]; R.

The latter is a venerable institution that funds arts here, and the former is group of uncultured boors in silly costumes who managed to completely destroy the NY Medieval Festival at Cloisters.
