Good gentles of the list:
This is the end of my response to Master Ottavio's comments.
In short, in my opinion there is no justification for the use of modern
instruments at SCA events, although I reluctantly tolerate them. Before I
leave my soapbox I am obligated to say that it was me who introduced the
Meridian dance "The Mortal Alman", which is the dancing of The Black Alman
to the theme from the movie "Mortal Kombat" during a session in the barn a
few years ago and who has danced "Personal Hole in the Wall" (HITW to
Personal Jesus), Trenchmore to "Istanbul (not Constantinople)" and Posties
Jig to "Sex on Wheels".
In service,

Sable, a gyron argent
Ars Longa Vita Brevis (Art endures, life is brief)
