minstrel: An introduction and a request

[Melissa Frolli]

I am well versed in the ins and out of the contemplator site. I haven't been 
there recently, since having computer trouble.
Thanks for the info!

For the person in who asked about pills to purge melancholy, I can take a 
look in my library's collection. I work at the University of California, 
Santa Barbara, and we have a pretty good collection of old music 
manuscripts. I hope this can be some help.

Blessings!
Aibhilin, Caid (Isles)
