Happy New Year to All,
It's hard to believe 2012 is behind us but I'm looking forward to a fantastic 2013. We are currently over the 450 member mark and I have no doubt we will see 500 pretty early this year. I am very excited about that.
By now most of you have seen the new look for Psaltery Strings. I hope this hasn't caused anyone too much difficulty. I've only heard of one technical issue so far, please let me know if you are having any problems.
I have some plans for Psaltery Strings and will be rolling them out during the year. If any of you have any suggestions regarding what you would like to see, please feel free to contact me. I'd love to hear from you. This is your community.
I have a question for all of you.
How much is Psaltery Strings worth to you?
That answer will vary by individual for sure, but please think about it. A dollar a week? A dollar a month? Nothing at all : (
The Ning platform that supports this social network format requires a monthly fee. My personal time and effort is a labor of love, but I would like to recover some or all of the monthly fees paid to Ning. The cost is $24.95 per month, $300 per year.
I don't want to make Psaltery Strings a subscription site so there are two ways I'll be asking for your help.
For those who would prefer to purchase something and have a portion of the purchase price put towards supporting the Psaltery Strings Network, I will be providing links to bowed psaltery or music related merchandise. A portion of the cost of the merchandise (generally in the 10% area) will be put towards the cost of running the Psaltery Strings Network.
For those who prefer a more direct approach in supporting Psaltery Strings, I will provide a donation option through PayPal.
Going forward I will be shamelessly plugging for support, hopefully without becoming a total annoyance. Your feedback regarding this will be appreciated. Also, keep in mind that this is not a charity or non-profit organization so there are no tax deductions for any support you provide directly or indirectly.
Another new thing for 2013 will be a very select and discrete set of advertisements. I don't want Psaltery Strings to start looking like a billboard so once again your feedback will be important here. More to come on this in the next few weeks.
This is getting windy, so I'll close now. The December and January music of the month will be coming shortly along with information on some wonderful denim shirts with a bowed psaltery embroidered on the back and Psaltery Strings embroidered on the front left!
Happy Bowing!

Something new for 2013...bowed psaltery embroidered shirts from Touchwood designs! They are offering beautiful denim shirts for men and women with an embroidered bowed psaltery on the back and a Psaltery Strings image on the front. The folks at Touchwood Designs have generously offered to donate 10% of the purchase price to help support Psaltery Strings when one of these shirts are sold. Talk about a win/win! You'll have a great looking shirt and have helped to support you FAVORITE bowed psaltery web site : )

A big thank you to everyone who has donated to support Psaltery Strings. I've added a PayPal donation button as it may make donating easier for some of you who aren't quite sure how to go about it. Any donations are greatly appreciated, some donations can even get you a beautiful new denim bowed psaltery embroidered shirt!
More to come, keep on bowing!

Hello Everyone!
I've posted Angels We Have Heard on High for the November sheet music. December's will be close on its heels. Here's a link to the sheet music:

We have quite a few new members and I'd like to ask everyone who hasn't already done so to mark their location on the members map. The map is located at the bottom of the center column on the main page. It's not as user friendly as I'd like it to be, but it's fun to see where everyone is. Here's the link:

For those of you who are attending or considering attending the Symphony in April, I can share some sheet music with you now. The Westmans don't have the official page ready yet and the songs aren't absolutely the ones we'll play, but if you'd like a potential head start e-mail me and I'll send you some music now. You can e-mail me at dmalus@wideopenwest.com

Hi Everyone!
Well, September is well under way and fall is definitely in the air. I'm sad to see the summer go but I do love the fall. The winter is, however, another story : P
Just a reminder that Rick Long's gathering is coming up in October. If you possibly can, try to make it. We had a great time last year and it sounds like he's planned a few new things for this year. I can't make it due to a work conflict (they haven't figured out that my psaltery playing is the priority) and am very disappointed. I sure hope I can make it next year.
Thanks to Ivan Bradley for the August sheet music, Four Seasons Winter Largo.

I'm sure my slacking on the music hasn't gone unnoticed....I'll try to be more punctual in the future but make no promises. As usual I have bitten off more than I can chew in my personal life.
September's song is Pretty Saro. I love the way Iris DeMent sang it in the movie "The Songcatcher" If you haven't had a chance to see that movie, you should try to. It's a good movie with some great songs.

Have a great September and keep on bowing!

Dear Lutegroup Members: For those of you who joined within the past year, Ning, the company that hosts this group, charges a $600 annual fee for a network with all the features we have. This is the time of year when I ask for help to pay it. Many ning groups have gone to a paid access/subscription model, but I want to keep the lutegroup as voluntary donation only, since we do have a range of members from starving students to starting musicians to wealthy bourgeoisie patrons (just like in the old days!). If even 1/3 of the current members contributed $1 each we would be fully covered for the year. You can find links to contribute by paypal on the Main and Donate tabs of the site. If you prefer to send me a check directly, feel free to privately message me.
Thanks to the members for keeping this an active and respectful group. While I turn away 1-2 obvious spammers every week, those who are members are contributing a wealth of information, pdf's, photos, music and videos, making this a fantastic resource for lutenists worldwide.
Thanks again to everyone for their support of the group.
Daniel Shoskes

Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries had its humble beginnings as an idea of a few artisans and craftsmen who enjoy performing with live steel fighting. As well as a patchwork quilt tent canvas. Most had prior military experience hence the name.
Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries.
Vendertainers that brought many things to a show and are know for helping out where ever they can.
As well as being a place where the older hand made items could be found made by them and enjoyed by all.
We expanded over the years to become well known at what we do. Now we represent over 100 artisans and craftsman that are well known in their venues and some just starting out. Some of their works have been premiered in TV, stage and movies on a regular basis.
Specializing in Medieval, Goth , Stage Film, BDFSM and Practitioner.
Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries a Dept of, Ask For IT was started by artists and former military veterans, and sword fighters, representing over 100 artisans, one who made his living traveling from fair to festival vending medieval wares. The majority of his customers are re-enactors, SCAdians and the like, looking to build their kit with period clothing, feast gear, adornments, etc.
Likewise, it is typical for these history-lovers to peruse the tent (aka mobile store front) and, upon finding something that pleases the eye, ask "Is this period?"
A deceitful query!! This is not a yes or no question. One must have a damn good understanding of European history (at least) from the fall of Rome to the mid-1600's to properly answer. Taking into account, also, the culture in which the querent is dressed is vitally important. You see, though it may be well within medieval period, it would be strange to see a Viking wearing a Caftan...or is it?
After a festival's time of answering weighty questions such as these, I'd sleep like a log! Only a mad man could possibly remember the place and time for each piece of kitchen ware, weaponry, cloth, and chain within a span of 1,000 years!! Surely there must be an easier way, a place where he could post all this knowledge...
Traveling Within The World is meant to be such a place. A place for all of these artists to keep in touch and directly interact with their fellow geeks and re-enactment hobbyists, their clientele.
