"Since most of the folks at an ARSC gathering have experienced music of
the past, it is hard to imagine a vast amount of interest in the group,
which seems to be more of an artistic statement in the 21st century vein
than a musical statement."

C'mon Steven, is the 21st Century really so bad? I'm as passionate about
the music of the past as most here - I put out a CD a few years ago
consisting entirely of music recorded in 1909 - but a major strength of
ARSC is that it's a broad church. 

One thing I particularly look forward to at ARSC conferences is meeting
people whose age, background, taste and expertise differ greatly from my
own and hearing them talk passionately about what they love. I'd be
surprised if the Buttersprites didn't go down a storm. 

Regards

Will
