What John didn't say in his post about the Vintage Band Festival is that there's another gathering of old instrument enthusiasts going on in Northfield this week: the 44th Viola da Gamba Conclave.
In my dreams I hear the ophicleides and saxhorns heading toward the center of town from the east and gambas and braccios marching, Woody Allen-like, down St. Olaf Ave. from the west, converging in Bridge Square for an Ivesian, historically informed jam session.
