Mmario! How wonderful about Vermont...break a leg, darlin'!!

Sean and I have chatted...I've heard lots of good things about the Boggards.

And Michael? What Faire did you audition for??? I have no idea why any Faire would discourage a Guitarist. I've seen all sorts, and they add so much to the feel. There's nothing like a wandering minstrel to really put you in the right frame of mind. If it's a problem with the instrument, there *are* some alternatives. John Durant plays an instrument that, for all intents and purposes, looks just like a lute, but is strung like a guitar. I have no idea what to call the thing (someone here will know, I have no doubt). It's a lot quieter than a guitar, but he says it passes for "looking historical". Maybe that might help?
