Actually, I am a musician, and have performed at Renaissance Fairs. I play various recorders, and occasionally oboe on a reproduction early model. It is great fun as long as it isn't too hot! My dress has 3 layers and I wear 2 hats (one of which I embroidered in gold thread)...which in cooler weather is delightful. Unfortunately those July and August fairs can be deadly hot although I have never had Marcy's bad luck to discover a body. Wonderful memories of all sorts of people and questions! When my triplets were 4, I made them costumes so they could go with us. (My husband also was a musician.) Good times!!!
