Dave Swan is a member of Oak, Ash & Thorn, one of the earlier renfaire groups from the original faires in CA. Absolutely wonderful group, and I'm not remotely above plugging 'em.

Chip - what faires are you near? To be honest, there's a VERY wide variety of what you can do at a faire - so long as you've the confidence, you can find a group that can accomodate your talents.

Heck, there's a guy still working for the Patterson family company up in Northern CA whose most remembered gig was sitting under a tree with a 'fart drum' (heck if I remember the name, but that's how it sounds) singing really horrible songs about his pig. Absolutely hilarious.
