He brought along with him from England a fabulous assortment of "Landlubberly musicians" with which to entertain the natives along the way,and beguile them into giving up their riches. Unfortunately, the musicians also beguiled the captain into failing to reef the sails when a violent storm blew up, and it was reported from the companion ships that "like the swan that singeth before her death, they continued in sounding the trumpets with drums and fifes. Also winding the cornetts and hautboys, and in the end their jollity left with the ringing of doleful knells" as the Delight rammed onto the rocks, August 29^th , 1583. *Frank Fitzpatrick,* here playing recorders and sackbutt, has a BS in Music from Rhode Island College and teaches music in a school for autistic children. He lives in Cranston. *Otto Guzman*, a native of Guatemala now living in Pawtucket, is the principle cellist in the Fall River Symphony. He is playing cello, cornetto and recorder today but also plays viol, sackbutt and lute.

He is playing recorders, IrishWhistle and cornetto today. He lives in New Bedford. He also plays trumpet, flugelhorn and penny whistle and plays with, among other groups, the New Era Jazz Band (Bristol, RI), the Strathspey and Reel Society of New Hampshire, and the Leeds Waites (Yorkshire, UK). *Judith Conrad*studied piano with International Concert Pianist Theodore Lettvin in Boston, and with Freeman Koberstein at Oberlin Conservatory, and holds a degree from Harvard University.
