       A Storm Is Coming


A storm is coming!
Distant lightning flashes in the sky.
Thunder rumbles ominously,
As darkening clouds I spy.

The sky turns black,
The wind blows hard, the rain begins to pour,
And as it pounds upon the roof,
It raises quite a roar.

Overhead, the trees are blown,
Branches break and fall,
There's water standing in the yard
Where before there was none at all.

The thunder booms from in the clouds
The lightning flashes bright,
So that it seems like midday,
Not the middle of the night.

The storm is ending.
And the rain is dripping from the trees
The wind that was so boisterous
Turns to a gentle breeze.

The storm is over.
Lightning stops as clouds now drift on by.
Where clouds as black as night had been
I now see clear blue sky.

not only did he get back copies of the songs from Fred, but full permission to

...so anyhow, we made it to my wife's home in Elkton, KY about 8 pm Thursday
night.  Not the best place to be spending the night on your anniversary, but
it's better than a hospital and a lot warmer.  So after settling in a bit, my 
mother-in-law wanted me to play some songs for her so she could find out what 
this "filk" stuff is.

I probably played some very good songs for her for the first two songs.  I
don't remember right now what they were.  But I thought I'd knock her dead by 
singing "God Lives On Terra".  Couldn't lose, right?  No weird religion and
she wouldn't catch all the off-planet stuff anyhow.  I didn't do a bad job of 
it, and she said she liked it a lot.

Next morning, her sister comes by to visit before we leave.  The two sisters
talked a bit about the stuff I sang "last night", including a beautiful one I 
did, "God Loves Tora".  Needless to say, I did nothing more involved than
Stray Dog Man that morning.

When I get to the con, I comment on this to a number of people in the con
suite, including Murray Porath.  I said flat out that somebody needs to write 
it, and that I wasn't qualified.

I can't include it here unless Kay tells me that Murray has given blanket
permission to post his stuff.  Darn.  I forgot to ask people (I got two great 
filks from Claire Maier and this one from Murray that beg to be posted, and
one from B.J. Willinger that I need to learn to sing) for posting permission.

I don't know if it was Murray's first filk in 1993, but it could have been... 
the title is God Gave the Torah.  It's only half as long as Julia's tune, but 
it's worth it.

As for my stuff, Hopeless Warren -or- Spaceship Down was, er, more than
politely received during the one-shots (I had about 5 requests for copies, but 
they didn't groan in the right places...).  Temperature of Roast Filk was a
hit, as was most of the stuff I did in the concert.  (BTW, Claire said that
almost nobody ever did her stuff.  She said it like she didn't care whether
they did or not, but what are you people *singing* if you're skipping HER
stuff???)  Halls of the Dwarven Kings continues to be my best-received song (I 
sure wish I wrote it myself).  Part of it is that it's a great song, the other 
part is the "periodicity" of the song until that car-alarm bridge, which wakes 
some of the audience back up...

Steve Macdonald should win the award for Best New Filksinger.  Anyone giving
this award out?  If not, why not?  His song, "Seducing the Unicorn", of which 
more than half was written during Saturday at OVFF, is one of the finest I've 
heard.  The man is still 24, lots of years to write more great songs.

There are ways of proving that didn't happen--the postage charged, for

affix the postage). In addition, the mailing can be certified, with

The question is whether you can prove the stuff was in there, sealed, when you

  You can always quote a small section (enough for anyone who -does- know
who wrote it, etc to identify it).  As long as it's a reasonably small
fraction of the whole, this would be considered fair use.

Over on SF_FAN I promised you I'd post this here, so here it is!

NATIONAL EMBALMING SCHOOL

(Tune:  O Tannenbaum.)

We live for you, we die for you,
National Embalming School.
We do our best to give you rest,
National Embalming School.
We make a coffin out of tin
Then dig a hole to put you in
We live for you, we die for you
National Embalming School.

To thee we sing, to thee we drool,
National Embalming School.
We stuff the corpse, we stuff the ghoul,
National Embalming School.
When you feel hollow deep inside
We fill you with formaldehyde
Our boys get hot when you get cool,
National Embalming School.

(Tune:  A-Hunting We Will Go)

Post mortem, post mortem, post mortem
Autopsy we must have
Post mortem, post mortem, post mortem
Autopsy we must have

(Tune:  The Anvil Chorus)

Cut, slice, slash the body
We must have a reason
Gee, how this body stinks
It must be out of season.

(Tune:  O Tannenbaum, last two lines)

We live for you, we die for you,
National Embalming School.
