Every year here there is an "Earth Day" celebration and the SCA generously lends costumes to the "ringers" who are hired to play music. Several years ago, I was late going to their costume bunker and found that all the "good ones", ie. noble knights, Robin Hood style minstrels, court jesters, etc. were gone. All that were left were brown hooded Monks' robes. So I figured if there could be "singing Nuns", why not go the ecclesiastical route? Since then Tony Quarrington (my Earthday musical partner) and I have gotten into our musical characters. He is the "Fish Friar" and I have become the "Chip Monk". Our big number is the theme from the Richard Greene Robin Hood TV show.
