Greetings:

On behalf of Al Cofrin (Master Avatar in the SCA) and the other members
of Istanpitta, I'd like to thank everyone who turned up to support us in
our two premier "serious" concerts. There were many familiar faces at
the Houston concert; not many in Austin, which was disappointing, but
understandable given the nearby event in Elfsea.

The concerts went very well, we thought. Charles Ward, the music critic
for the Houston Chronicle, had this to say in today's paper:
<http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/story.hts/ae/music/classical/1596173>

He is noted for sometimes being quite brutal in his reviews. It's quite
a tribute to us that he gave us such words of praise as these. :-)

He also wrote about us in the Zest section of the previous Sunday's
Chronicle:

Finally, a correction to my previous announcement: I was mistaken when I
listed the personnel. Jonathan Brumley did not perform with us for these
concerts. He will be playing with us on other occasions.

Yours,
Michael Silverhands (Michael Tucker)

p.s. I'll try to give you more advance notice the next time we are to
perform somewhere. We will be at the Texas Renaissance Festival all
seven weekends.
