Historical reenactment: not just music anymore

On Sunday I did something that I don't think I've ever done before: I spent an entire day at a historical reenactment event without playing any music. What I did do included a parade, teaching four families how to survey the height of a building, and teaching a foreign tourist how to play checkers. I still like playing old music best of all, of course, but I am pleased that I'm developing a broader variety of talents.
