In some of the venues I do, musicians are paid less than we are, because the promoters say-- well, we can always find other musicians, but how many other puppet troupes are there? -- but then, I live in Louisiana, where there is always a musician next door, or at farthest, across the street, but no puppeteers. And then on the streets of the Quarter in New Orleans, there is a different musician/ensemble on each corner, and the competition there is vicious. So a visual element can turn the trick. And a puppet, well, many people bring their kids. Plus they like you better if they can take their picture with you. Cheers, Alice In a message dated 2/22/2009 6:29:11 A.M.

What I think of when I see the Marionettes a la Planchette is the need for musicians to offer something visual in order to bring in more audiences/money. It's less of a theatrical form for me.

I've only ever seen crwth in my life. But then, I never forgot it, either. One of those words like Prosopopeia, that are only known to people who live in a very, very small world.

Cool scrabble word!
