What's a "hoy"? I'm afraid I'm not but a humble surgeon... :) Looking forward to the day, and the evening sir!

Kind Friends & Companions, Available: One pair of well-maintained, highly polished "Revere Boots", hardly worn. Sadly, they're about a half size too small (9 1/2). Rather than having them "stretched" and weakening or ruining the leather, I offer them to the brethren (for $200, the price of laudanum is going up)! Your Servant, C.

How did this happen? More importantly, why didn't it happen sooner? I got into the music end of things first by way of me playing mate Captain Brad McClary and Ships Company. The chantey nights led into the history aspect of things, me being ye old ships surgeon & physician,. From there I ventured into the pyratical/historical aspects, and more bad influences from the likes of Captain Fletcher Moone, Duncan McGuyver and other scallywags whom I've come to know and heartily respect (but don't tell 'em that!). Then, in late 2007, I went to my very first (at my age, no less) renfaire, here in Maryland. Okay, I'm done, show me ships articles to sign! Oh, and the wenches, did I fail to mention the wenches? From the Guild to the bevy of lovely lasses I've chanced to meet, never have I met a more diverse, sincere and good to the core group of people.

Guitar here, a vintage 1978 Ovation acoustic/electric, plus 4-string tenor banjo, 5-string bluegrass banjo, and the new one, a Goldtone 6-string Banjitar. Oh, can't read a single note of music either...

Well, if I can't strap on me sword, I'll strap on me guitar or something and we can at least sing & drink together (or is that drink & sing together) from pub to pub...and one (at least) group toast for the Black Fox's absence... Your servant, Charlie Q
