In response to a woman's domain?, written by P. Bingham on April 25, 1998 at 01:47:27

To L and T indexBut the men were even better at these same instruments and when they cared to share their talents they certainly did.

Really? I didn't know that- I'm sorry. It's just that I thought true "gentlemen" wouldn't play musical instruments, because they didn't have to earn a living from it (as Maggie Lane said). If they wanted music, I always supposed they'd get a servant (or a lady) to do it, as it says in all the JA books I've ever read (which is all of them, actually:-) Because I know musicians were always considered servants, until Beethoven.
Oh well- thanks for setting me right, Patricia!:-)
