Hi all.
When I flew to Texas and Seattle, my shawms and recorders fit in
one case that I took as a carry-on and stowed in one of the overhead
compartments. I did, however, have to convince the security inspectors
that I wasn't going to take it out of the case and use it as a club.
He actually took one part out of the case to show me. It looked very
dangerous I guess. I just had to promise that it would not come out of
the compartment until I arrived.
I always bring instruments with me. Dancers deserve good music and I enjoy playing as much as I enjoy dancing.
I leave for Pennsic tomorrow. The shawms are already packed.
TTFN
