Glad to hear you have appropriate footwear!
Sounds like fun.

During Elizabeth's reign, I think Mary, Queen of Scots had a guitar player named Davey. If you want to do guitar, you could probably find documentation (and maybe a picture..funny looking guitar) fairly easily.

If they're tight with their fest, it might be kind of tricky to come up with an argument for a barefoot mendicant having an instrument. If you do do that, I'd kind of like to hear your justification..purely out of curiosity,not because I'm under the impression that it's any of my business.
