So, for those who might get there: There is a new madrigal group, who are doing some beautiful harmonies and working on more. There is a man playing an organ with a lovely soft clear sound; it is made of bits of rubber pipe, beer glasses, and assorted odds and ends and I wish I could tell you what he calls it. The Lost Boys (boyos clearly) are sending some pretty wild tunes skyward. Don't even ask about the nipple-flame-tranfer. Prince Vincent of the Gypsies has a voice that would not sound out of place on a Broadway stage. (This really is a music thread too of course.) Some of the young princesses are doing some impressive singing too. I tend to go for (1) song (2) costumes and (3) jousting (2 & 3 provide such fun photo ops) and had often wondered how many of the songs, costumed groups, and performers were scheduled/employed and whether some just happened. Now I have a hint. What a joy to got to sing along, though!
