S.C.A. "approved" tunes?

Are any folks out there in SCA, and if so, do you ever whistle at events? I’m over here in Meridies, and we’ve got Diamond Wars coming up–I thought it would be fun to take my Clarke with, but I’m not sure how much of my personal playlist is “period”. (I guess “Reilly’s Daughter” is right out. Bwaa-haa-haaa! :smiling_imp: )

I’m just curious as to what other folks play. I gave a holler out on the Meridies Minstrel group at Yahoo, but I think they’re all asleep… :wink:

As for my own, here are a few of my favorites. I’m wondering which I can get away with in a looser environment, and which are just waaay too blatantly out-of-period. :smiley: I know a few are old rebel songs, but the phrase is “get away with”. :wink:

Opinions will be cherished!

Raggle Taggle Gypsy
Whiskey in the Jar (The version that starts, “As I was going over the
something-or-other mountains”)
Juice of the Barley
The Butterfly
Foggy Dew (To be sure, this one’s borderline…)
Gallant Fourty Twa (Aye, this one, too. Blame the Clancys for my
musical knowledge! LOL)
Whistling Gypsy Rover
Haste to the Wedding
Jug of Punch
Haul Away Joe
Rosin the Bow
Port Lairge
March from Oscar and Malvina

Well, for those that aren’t “period” - just rename them and say that your persona is a composer and the tunes are original :wink:

Oh, and don’t forget to scrape the black paint and gold diamonds off of the Clarke :0

Good idea. :slight_smile: I am a paranoid little thing, but I suppose I needn’t worry too much about getting my eyes clawed out by an authenticity mavin in Malvern, Arkansas. :wink:

Ack, you’re right! Never considered that!! You’ve given me a reason to shop. >%-D** ::evil laughter; whips out duel credit cards, cowboy style, from twin holsters on her hips:: Let’s see…I’ll need something in wood…not too big…probably key of D…though you never know when you may need a C, so I’d better get two…

::darts away brandishing her Visa and laughing insanely::

Vermifuge the Red: I want to be Tommy Makem when I grow up.
Scapirimuus the Green: Wrong sex.
Vermifuge the Red: Oh yeah, there’s that…

Is this a list or a shopping list?
