Songworms 1-3, and the companion Tapeworm tapes 1-3, are available from
Firebird or your local Firebird dealer. If Tales From The White Hart

Most filk dealers carry the Songworms 2 and 3.

Given that this is FireBird, shouldn't this be *if* it comes out, rather
than 'how'?  Apparently FireBird are telling distributers (at least
British ones) who order any of the new stuff from the catalog that "it
isn't released yet" - whatever it is that's asked for.  In fact I heard
that at least one tape in the catalog wasn't even recorded!  These
aren't in there as "forthcoming tapes", these are ones that they say (in
the catalog) are available...

Given their past record, *I* certainly won't be holding my breath - even
if they do come out, I doubt that the tapes will be available in the
UK.  Not this century, anyway...

Chris,

    In fairness to Firebird, I honestly can't think of a single tape that
they've promised and never released.  I admit they have done things like
advertising a tape in their catalog and not mentioning that it hasn't
been recorded yet (although this seems to have been purely in the past),
and then putting out the tape 3 years after first mentioning it.  They also
have been more than happy to refund pre-orders from people getting sick
of waiting for their tapes.  They have also been completely honest, going
as far as to ship a tape to me back when I was a Junior in high school
and really hadn't ordered much of anything from them before I paid for
it (I didn't have a credit card and needed a copy of _The Music of
Wonderland_ for a play we were doing called _Alice_ and I needed it
_FAST_!)

    Still, this doesn't change the fact that I've been very disappointed
by almost everything they've put out recently since they're diligently
sticking to their style of recording a person with a bunch of low-end
synthesizers.  IMHO, this is clearly a result of the fact that, for
whatever reasons, they seem to have a shortage of accessible musicians.  Given
that Firebird even has less musicians than they did in 1988 or whenever they
were officially formed, I don't see the situtation improving, unfortunately.
Which is a true shame, especially since they seem to be the only people
Fish is working with (again, for whatever reasons...) nowadays...Only
time will tell...

I'm new to this echo and I understand it is about Science Fiction Fan Songs.  
Could someone give me an example of this as I can't for the life of me think
of one.  Are these parody type songs or genuine stuff for example that I might 
find on my album: Leonard Nimoy Presents Mr. Spock's Music from Outer Space.

Well, I think I'm going to enjoy this.  Thanks.

Don't wanna vote for Clinton
'Cause he's a lib'ral Dem
Don't wanna vote for Bush and Quayle
We've had enough of them!

SD> AB>        You can sing ANYTHING to

SD>Hmm.  I wonder if someone's tried to write a poem or song that cannot,
SD>absolutely cannot, be sung to "Greensleeves."

I hate to see that evenin' sun go down,
(I said, I) Hate to see that evenin' sun go down,
'Cause my baby, she done left this town.

(Apologies to W. C. Handy)

Or,

Onward! Christian soldiers, marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus, moving on before.
Christ, our royal Master, leads against the foe,
Forward! into battle, see our banners go!

Since neither of the above meets the basic 4-4-4-4 meter, both would be
very difficult to fit into "Greensleeves".

No, "I'm a" is two demisemiquavers (or something) before the start
of the first measure, of that I'm sure.  You see music doing that all
the time.  They occupy the same place the initial syllable of "Alas"
occupies in Greensleeves.
