Funny how a visit to the Renaissance Faire always leaves me in a New
Agey frame of mind for the next few weeks. At least where music is
concerned; I'd like to think that other aspects of my personality are
unaffected by the experience. Not that they couldn't stand some
affecting. But that's a rap for another time.
But suffice it to say that my affection for Robin Spielberg's piano
pieces may be influenced by external forces: those images of girls in
long dresses with not exactly politically correct necklines, jugglers,
mock Shakespeare and a bit of good English ale. New Age music just
fits with that whole scene, even if a piano would be wholly out of
place. And time; there were very few pianos in those days.
But Ren Faire ramblings aside, this is perfect background music for a
drive in the country or a boring afternoon in the office. You can
concentrate on the important stuff and feel like you're in a better
place. Not that there's a better place than my office, in case any of
my coworkers are reading this...
