Brand new to wikipedia.org as a contributor. Your constructive commentary for improvement is welcome, but I'm not yet "hooked," so such commentary may be seen a long while after you post it. In any case, please accept my thanks.

My interests are highly varied, but a brief listing for Wikipedia purposes goes as follows: Western music history, music in general, Western nonmilitary general history, Western art history, Western fashion history, and historically-inspired garment recreation and scholarship, where my area of best knowledge and most experience is 16th century British Isles, spreading to areas in the Continent in the same era. I sew fairly extensively, embroider, and can exercise basic functionality in many other fiber arts areas. I greatly enjoy reading both fantasy and science fiction works along with nonfiction history works.
