[Ansteorra] Class on Renaissance Music

[Hugh & Belinda Niewoehner]

Ah... a bit of a drive from Northkeep, especially on a Tuesday night.  
Sigh....Perhaps you would be willing to teach at our collegian event, 
wIinterKingdom, in February.   Please, pretty please with sugar (yes, I 
have that valuable commodity) on top??  At any rate, I'll be looking 
forward to your web space.
