[SCA-Dance] KWDS report (What I Did on my Summer Vacation...)

[J.B.R.]

Speaking of Live and Rarely Heard musical instruments, having that
harpsichord at KWDS this time was awesome!  That's the first time I've
ever been close enough to a live one being played to hear it without
amplification!  I don't know how you guys got that (local SCAer?
Rental?) but kudos to you!
