News of the week of April 20, 2021

We played:

• Gibbons, For deliverance from a public Sickness
• Wise, When the plague was in town
• Morley: Now is the month of Maying, April is in my mistress’ face, Joy, joy doth so arise
• Rore, Cantai mentre c’i’ arsi del mio foco

We were all really happy to be back together, so when I said, “Do it again next week?”, there was a unanimous chorus of, “Yes.”

So we’ll be meeting at Stuart’s place again on April 27 at 7:45 pm.

Many people seem to have never thought about the organizational difficulties of having a drop in group, and even if you thought about it when we were meeting at my place with all the notebooks of all the pieces we’ve played for the last two decades, they are worse if we’re meeting somewhere else.

So you have to let me know you’re coming, and you have to show up if you’ve said you’re coming.
