Setting up a musician

[Zib]

I haven't gone back and studied the music thread. But can we have a separate posting on what we need to do to create a band member?

What I was thinking was a list something like:
1. Create a minstrel and get it to level 20 (25?).
2. Talk to trainer and learn each instrument.
3. Get minstrel in PoP.
4. Download X music program at http://website
5. Talk to tailor about getting crushed Velvet robe.
6. Dye crushed Velvet robe blue.
7. Show up for rehearsal on Thursday, 8 PM at the kin hall.
8. Talk to woodworker about obtaining instruments.

Perhaps we could also name the thread something that is easy to locate in a search (like "setting up a musician").

P.S. If I am the only one who is late to the party then this might be more effort than it's worth.

"5. Talk to tailor about getting crushed velvet robe."

Don't forget the ruffles!

Honestly the costume isn't any big deal, since once we decide on one, I imagine we'll have one, and just have everyone equip it in a costume slot - unless for some reason it uses a bound item, though I think we're specifically avoiding that in our discussions.

At the moment, all you need to do is have a minstrel, any level (20+ is nice for the bonus instruments, but not necessary). Rehearsal has been somewhat sporadic lately, because of out-of-town trips and visiting family and what-not. Be sure to have at minimum one of every instrument sold at the town bards, and we will work out making the others for you as needed. I've got a woodworker, as do several other current band members.

Rehearsal this week will be at 10PM Central (11pm Eastern) again, because it's the Lost finale and I insist on not missing it It'll be over after this week, though!

I've got a couple new pieces I'm working on and I want to hear some of the other stuff we've played through once again. I'll also have some costume stuff to talk to you guys about.

A minstrel?

Erm. What about us highly talented burglars? I can play four instruments! Four! That's twice as many as a mere normal burglar can! *sniff*

Can someone fill in the blanks on #4?

You mean "download X music program at ..."?? There isn't one. All we do is download the actual .abc song files to our systems and that's what we play, using LotRO's own music system.

Sharliana's music archive is what we're using to house our own ABC library. I don't have the URL handy here at work but it's in the Music thread stickied in this forum.
