<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Well since we are doing intros I'll join into
that! I'm old SCA from about 10 years ago, but I got out of it and am so
far only dabbling in my return...my real life and performing tend to take up
most of my time and so far the main events I've been to are Ren Faires that have
hired the band I'm in. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Mundane name Rachel, old SCA name I prefer to
forget...new one, gosh I can't decide yet...too many wonderful
choices.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm no Medieval music specialist though I'd love to
be. My training is all classical performance on violin, viola, piano and a
bit of guitar as well. I've since added mandolin and a bit of
accordian.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My band is very eclectic, the short description is
"Celtic" or even "Irish" but it is ever-so-much-more than that. If it is
all right, and if you have the time, please investigate our website <A
href="http://www.strangewoods.com">www.strangewoods.com</A> and some of
you may be familiar with what is sort of our "sister Band" Golden Bough (we
share family members)....some of you may even have known our band in its
original configuration and name which was The Paradise Street Band.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am in the Kingdom of Caid, Barony of Calafia
otherwise known as San Diego, California</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have an interest in the Bouzouki (spelling) and
recently have fallen in love with a Turkish instrument called the Saz.
actually I rather love all stringed instruments!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I also have very very big dogs but that's another
story.</FONT></DIV>
