<DIV><SPAN class=746253810-26042006><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>As
an example, I personally know three people who own lap harps, yet only
one of them brings it to events. Granted, these gentles are active in
other areas of our Society as well and one is only now learning, but the lap
harp is one of those instruments that sounds good even if you're just
musically diddling. It provides atmosphere, a pleasant background noise,
and playing on it would give the owner more practice, whether they wanted it
or not. There's a madrigal group in my area that practices, but I'd like
to see them perform at the list-field between the callings; have someone
coordinate with the list mistresses or something. Heck, even perform a
soft piece in a corner somewhere while the fighting is going on.
Recorder players who can play but won't because of whatever reason, people who
say they can't learn to play a pennywhistle because they don't know how to
whistle, the list goes on.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
