This is also the beauty of the Tea Parties. Musicians used old instruments to craft an entirely new way of presenting old and new songs. People gathered to dance. The key is ... improvising -- making do with what you have and fashioning it into something very usable.

Yet, even here there’s a lot of pessimism about the Tea Parties posted. I tire of hearing how ‘useless’ they are. Every fire needs a spark!
