A Health To The Company ~ Final Song of the Florida Renaissance Festival 2009

All the good folk of Playhaven at the 2009 Florida Renaissance Festival sing together in the last song of the final pub sing of the very last day of the Faire. Plus a great quote from the King of the last lines from Shakespeare's "A Mid-Summer Night's Dream". What a wonderful closing to a great Festival season. In my humble opinion everyone singing in chorus all sound great together. Sweet and melancholy with just a touch of mischeviousness (note Ty Billings getting goosed by a tricksy Limeybird).

Apologies for a somewhat too quick and jittery pan of the crowd, but I was trying to include as many people as possible.

Thanks to old friends and new acquaintances. It was a pleasure to see you all and we hope to see you again at other venues and at next year's Festival.


Note: Best viewed in hi def (the HD button) if you have that option. Be aware, however, that YT claims their 720p hidef streaming is still in beta form, and might look jerky or out-of-sync depending on your download and hardware. For best performance let the stream download completely before playing.

There are way too many people and bands to thank here, but we urge you to check out the websites of all the musicians, they are each excellent in their own way. We were really blessed at this Festival to have musicians of the highest caliber.

This is the best video I've yet seen of this haunting and lovely song. Thanks for posting it. The best part of any renfest, by far, has got to be the pub sing! Huzzah!

@cbvalden, Thank you very much for your comment. I agree the pub sing is usually the best part of the day. We actually just got very lucky with this video to capture a special moment. It was a unique heart-felt bonding with everybody at this very final song of the Festival that I think comes through the video. Every time I watch this myself, I continue to see all kinds of little stories played out in the background among all the singers toasting each others' health. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
