Rennaisance Faire!!!

I love rennaisance music! It started about a year ago when I bought Sting'sSongs From the Labyrinth cd. I was an avid Shakespeare fan when I was in high school. Ok, thou may calleth me a geek. But I truly loved reading Billy Shakes at the time. I even borrowed an LP soundtrack of "Julius Caesar so I could read it and listen to it at the same time. Ok, so I was a geek, but I aced the class!!! ;-) My hs English teacher, Mr. Mohr, was this cute guy with hens on his tie that would play Elizabethan music in class. (Could it be I had this awful school girl crush on the guy??? ;-) ) Anyway, I must have stored this love of Elizabethan music in the back of my brain because as soon as I listened to Sting play the lute and sing "can she excuse my wrongs with virtues cloak" I went nuts! So I've been looking for rennaisance fairs around the area. I want to dress up as the old nursemaid ; like the one that took care of Juliet. I want to speak "Elizabonics." There are a number of websites that teach just that. My coworker told me there is to be one in the City of Milan........(no, not Milan Italy, although I wish that were true), Milan Illinois, at the end of this month! My heart delighteth intensely! Anticipation maketh me joyful so immensely! Ok, I'LL STOP! I'd put the link of the cd in the blog but I don't know how. Do you?
