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

[Catherine Sayre]

As a new member of the list, I am glad that this arguement is over.  I just 
wanted to learn period songs.  I have a decent singing voice and I have 
learned a few period ballads but I can not find any decent references with 
written music.  My persona is 15th century German but I am not ready to 
tackle German Ballads in German.  I am more interested in English Ballads at 
this time.  Any help would be appricated.

To the lady who shakes when she plays, all I can recommend it keep playing 
in public.  With time the shakes will go away.  Also, most people watching 
you do not know that you are shaking.  I know that knowledge helps when I am 
nervous.
