Watertown, NY, USA . "Public Square" (vintage, date unknown) but the monument is honoring veterans of the American Civil War so the date of the image is late 1800s

Praetorius and tea......my first exposure to praetorius was thru transcriptions for brass, and of course that kid's classic "do you know the muffin man".......this particular recording is H.I.P.........and i much prefer it.......although i do think that sometimes the H.I.P. movement is carried a bit too far........i think the crumhorn is neat........but then praetorius' period used the recorder heavily..and though i'm just a hack i do enjoy playing the recorder.......but then emotionally i never really got past the fourth grade any who.......(sorry hip.....historic instrument performance)
