Great!  Enjoy.  Are you looking music appropriate to Shakespeare's place 
and time?  Or appropriate to the time and place wherein he set the play?

If the discussion was overly technical, you can probably lay that one at my 
door.  I'm currently wending my way through mundane studies on this field.  
Apologies to anyone who may have been frightened or confused.

Hmmm. This list is the *only* venue of which I am aware for the discussion 
of issues pertinent to the performing arts as practised within the SCA.  
Until this discussion came along, the list was getting a tad . . . shall we 
say, sleepy?

Is there another list?  Do we need a separate one?  More articles for the 
already excellent minstrel web page?  Thoughts?
