Watched the people in all the renaissance garb you can imagine, lots of it even looked authentic. (read as NOT cheap) and did something that I always look forward to doing at these events -- watch the drums and bagpipers play their hearts out (while belly dancers practiced THEIR craft which is always a plus.)
All in all it was a win, the kids liked it (the one did -- the other slept; being that she is only 3 weeks old and not all that interested in the renaissance yet.)
oNe thing that got my attention was the simplicity in the music yet how effective it was -- there were also madrigals sung by a chorus but that didn't seem to capture the audience (or my own) attention as much as the simple melodies of the 2 bagpipes and the 2 bass drums and cymbal. It made me look at how great just sitting back and grooving on a rhythm can be.
No life changing events here to report, but just something I am going to add to my own mental database when I write something new.
See you tomorrow.
