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!
)
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… ![]()
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.
I know a few are old rebel songs, but the phrase is “get away with”. ![]()
