-->Right-O!!! In fact try intrtoducing EVERY song, telling where
in history it's from,(regardless of if it's period or not) and
who the composer is(espically if it's a SCA composer. I'd had the
composer be in the audience unbeknownst to me, and i've been that
mystery composer out in the dark myself once,hee-hee-hee was that
fun..."My Lady, do you know who wrote that song?...:)
