The International Minstrel Troupe known as WOLGEMUT perform their sexiest song, "The Dance of the Green Man" at the 2010 Florida Renaissance Festival, March 7, 2010, at Quiet Waters Park in Deerfield Beach, Florida. The seductive strains from Ruschpfeiffe, Drums, and Dudelsack (bagpipes) brought the audience out of their seats to show off their stuff, including the Masala Gypsy Dancers and little Lady Emily. With Michael Gartner (aka "Micha") playing the Rauschpfeiffe and leading the group, Daniel Williams (aka "Jakob") playing percussion (big drum, cymbals, etc.), Michael Heubner (aka "Albrecht") playing the side drum, and Chris Klecka (aka "Klecka") proudly playing his new Dudelsack (German Bagpipes). You have my sincere apologies for the excessive pans, zooms, and camera jiggles. Yes I know they are annoying. I again made the amateur mistake of trying to cover too much of the spread-out action with a single camera. I hope the artists' performances can overcome my poor videography for your enjoyment. I'll try to be better with future posts, but this was a unique performance I didn't want you to miss. As Micha explains, "Wolgemut" is not just the name of their band, but an ancient German word that means "To be in a good mood". Hopefully this video will help make you just a little bit Wolgemut yourself!
