When Ludwig von Beethoven was a kid, his only interest was 
playing the piano.  His mother became irritated one day, and 
yelled at him, "You good-for-nothing bum, I'm sick and tired of 
you banging on that piano all day long!  Why don't you go out 
and get a job and help support the family?"

Little Ludwig replied,  "Aw, Mom, leave me alone; someday I'll be 
a great composer."

She replied, "Ha ha ha 
                       Haaaaa!"
              ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

       (Sung as first four notes of Beethoven's 5th Symphony.)


     Historical  note:  Beethoven's 5th was especially popular 
     among the Allies during World War II because of the 
     repeating theme that  sounds like the Morse Code letter 
     "V" ( ..._ ), as in Victory.

Ooops.  No, I looked and couldn't find it, then forgot.  Let me see how much of
it I can reconstruct.  Ready?  Here goes...



My boss teaches me the skills that I lack
He gets ten percent and a knife in the back.

   Chorus:
Halalujah, I'm Jhereg
Halalujah, Jhereg am I.
I've got one on my banner and one that can fly.

To break a man's legs, five hundred's my fee
And if you don't pay me, I'll break yours for free
Halalujah...

I've a small pet jhereg and I've trained him to spy
Admire his grace while he tears out your eyes.
Halalujah...

Now deep in my heart, I don't like to fight
I'd much rather kill them while hidden from sight.
Halalujah...


That's as much as comes to mind.  Feel free to add to it as you see fit.
Cheers.

Well some bits from Day 1 first.

Kathy returned from Sushi at about 10pm with about 10 folks in tow.
While they were doing Sushi 3 more more folks showed up and random
folks showed up even later.  3am to be exact, he drove up from LA.

The first night was mostly conversation and watching the kids play.

Highlights/topics of conversation:

A "fashion" show by the kids.
Group artistry by the kids and an adult or two.
The Star Trek:  Deep Space Nine.
Computers.  <natch>
Canadian Politics.
Life, the Universe, and Everything.
etc, etc, etc...



Day 2 (so far.)

The household and various crashers where up at about 11am.  Had a
catch as catch can breakfast, but nobody was full enough to refuse
the fresh bagels, cream cheese and lox that showed up a little latter.

Several folks have gotten the Grand Tour of our house (sorry you
HAVE to be here for it.) and conversation has continued unabated
since morning.

Kathy has started the Stone Soup and with each new arrival, their 
contribution is added to the pot.

(before the one-shots)

The Science Fact panel is moved to 4 p.m.

There will be a two hour concert from 6 p.m.-8 p.m. on
Saturday.  Performers to be announced.

Check you pocket programs and at-the-con notices for any other

  Oh, uhm, isn't that "was a damn fine group" ?

  I saw Steven play last spring, and it seemed to be Cats Laughing,
but somehow it also seemed that someone had told me that Cats Laughing
was no more.

  Damn.  Now I suppose I've perpetuated a rumor.  Could anyone
who really knows what they're talking about verify this?  Please?

  Anyways, yes, Steven does interesting things to guitars that
I wish more musicians would learn to do with their instruments.
Listening to him play with a room full of people who know what
they're doing is fantastic, and something I look forward to for
363 days out of the year.

  Steven's cool on drums too.

  To answer the original question (does Steven do filk?,) sorry,
I've heard Steven do jazz, blues, rock, and even Yiddish Funk, but
I've never hear filk come from his talented fingers and lips. 'Course,
that certainly doesn't mean he hasn't or wouldn't.

  How's that for a non-answer?

Greetings...

    Actually, the last time I met him he was playing some kind of drums with a 
belly dancer (and Shirley Meyers) having a ball trying to keep up. I believe
he was supposed to be filking, but if so, it never wandered in the room where 
we were waiting for it.  He's supposed to, I just can't confirm.  He does
play, sings and beat, so I think he does.
