Noble Friends,
On this date in 1374 the first outbreak of "St. John's Dance", as sort
of medieval rave, broke out in Aachen, Germany. The malady is also known
as "dancing mania" or "St. Vitus' Dance", and it popped up a number of
times during the middle ages: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dancing_mania
Curious, most curious.
Yours Aye,
Lord Mungo Napier, That Crazy Scot
