Master Mike, c'est moi!

I think that having a local SCA early music group would be A Good
Thing. I don't know that it would have to be a guild, necessarily,
and since a guild is IIRC obligated to do periodic reports and the
like, I don't know that you would want to put that burden on
yourselves.

But a local SCA early music group? Yes! Go _RIGHT_ ahead, with my
blessing -- and maybe even with a little support from me.
