[Northkeep] FW: Micha (of WOLGEMUT!) at Lilies!

[Niewoehner, Hugh]

	Micha, the leader of the medieval style musical group, Wolgemut
,   ( http://www.wolgemut.net/ <BLOCKED::http://www.wolgemut.net/>   )
will be at Lilies War this year!  For anyone interested in playing or
purchasing medieval style bagpipes or rauschpfiefes, here is a rare
opportunity to learn from the best!  Here is what he sent in a letter to
me:

	  "I will have several bagpipes for use for workshops as well as
for sale.   I also hope to have a few prototype Rauschpfeiffes for
testing.  I will also have some new music and arrangements for a
Rauschpfeiffe workshop.  I will need some assistance in getting the word
out about the workshops.  In addition to a Bagpipe and Rauschpfeiffe
workshop, I'm also interested in holding a generic, Medieval Music jam
workshop."

	 You can be assured that if you buy an instrument from Micha,
you will come away with a playable, in tune, well working instrument and
a basic knowledge of how to start practicing - MUCH different than
buying a set of pipes by mail order or from a store that can't even help
you adjust a reed! Face it, how many of us have instruments at home that
we bought and can't play - either because it's a faulty instrument, or
the instrument needs some minor tweaking,  or we just don't know where
to start?

	 For those of you who have heard only Conna and me play
rauschpfiefes, come to a workshop with Micha and hear how they are
really SUPPOSED to sound! The rauschpfeife is also somewhat adaptable to
middleeastern style music too, by the way.

	 I suspect that the "medieval music jam workshop" might involve
other instruments as well(drums, strings, etc)  but I have no
information other than what I just posted from Micha.  There are no set
dates or times as yet. He will be arriving at Lilies on Monday or
Tuesday, and staying through the week. Workshop times and days will be
posted in the music tent on the battle field as soon as they are
decided. 

	 Come and participate, or just sit in, on a workshop or two -
this man is a gold mine of musical information! (He's pretty darn nice
too...)

	See you at the music tent,

	Constantia Innocenti
