Alberic Sr. is my only semi- musician. He plays the harp and guitar in fair to middling capability. I'm not a song writer nor musician by any stretch myself; pretty much my only regular brush with live music has been along the Irish session or Renaissance type, so this is what I pull from. I'll make up song names on the fly and emote how he's playing and flourishes and the like. I kind of do the "what type of songs /could/ be from X area" thing, playing lively reels and jigs 'from' Limsa or more melancholy or martial Ishgardian songs, for example. I've done some research for out of game reasons into historical music, so I just grab old public domain stuff from books or websites and change any location words or specifics to fit in-game places. He's traveled a lot (and he's not young), so he's picked up many different pieces of music along the way.
