Zara Zina,

I've always loved having the musicians in court and at events as well. 
The music is a real mood setter for me and I feel like I am there.  My
thanks and kudos to all of the musicians in Ansteorra who have
contributed to the atmosphere of the events that I have been to in the
past years.
 
> It is quite nice for the reigning nobles at court to take a moment to thank the musicians.  I have had this happen on occasion, but more often, the musicians are treated as a live "boom-box" - something to turn off and on.

Having played at it myself briefly, I can say that as a performer, I
live for praise.  The music at court and at other events that has been
playing in the background has been just lovely.  I should have said
something to all of you before now.  The Musicians add so much to the
ambiance and I for one am pleased that they are there.
