SCA to professional, was: RE: minstrel: Enough folks

[yarrowp]

So, to bring this a bit more on topic,

For a while, one of Lark in the Morning's company musicians was harper Laurie 
Riley, who very early in her career went by (I believe) Brenna the Harper in 
the SCA.  Laurie has had a successful career, including publishing several 
books, issuing multiple recordings, and founding a school for aspiring musical 
practitioners (a branch of musical therapy dealing with playing music at 
bedside for the critically injured).

Can anyone think of other SCA musicians who have "gone pro"?  If so, what sort 
of music are they recording and performing?  How many have remained in the 
Society?  Does the Society nurture aspiring professionals?  Do professional 
musicians "outgrow" the SCA?
