Well, Julia was the lead singer on _The Horse-Tamer's Daughter_;
but that wasn't all her songs. That may be the tape you're thinking
of, though. She also sang many of the leads on _Minus Ten And Counting_,
but not all of them.
And, before you ask--Yes, those are both LONG out-of-print OCP tapes,
and will in all likelihood NOT be reprinted from their original
masters.

Hi.  I'm pretty new to the idea of filksongs.  I've only heard a few
of them, and most of the ones I've heard of deal with books I haven't
read...but I'm a bit confused as to what exactly constitutes a filk
song.  They're not really parodies, because many of the songs I have
heard aren't humorous.  I'd like to start writing some of my own, but
figured I ought to have a better grasp of what I'm getting into.
Besides <Grin>, I don't play guitar.  I play keyboard.  I've heard
that's...er...a bit frowned upon as a "non-tradition" or something.

The Traveller?  My...how long have you been filking for? ;-)

Err...actually...that was more of a phrasing mistake than a technical mistake
on my part.  Julia has 3 tapes currently in *print*; the number of tapes she's
*done* depends on whether or not you believe a tape in which the producer
said, "Gee...Julia has a great voice, everybody loves hearing her...let's have
her do most of the vocal work on this compilation we're puting out!"

For the benefit of the doubt, we will assume so...what can I think of
off the top of my head?

[Besides Divine Intervention, Traveller,  Wolfrider, Genesis and Walkabout]

Horse-Tamer's Daughter, Minus Ten and Counting, Space Heroes
& Other Fools [done with Ann Prather; it should still be possible
to find a copy of this tape; I think Wail Songs even had them a
few months ago], Brandywine, and I *think* that's it.  There's
probably one tape that I forgot.

I know the Coulsons still have Minus Ten and Counting; if you're
willing to pay $15 for the tape, it's available.  [Then again, you
were at OVFF, right?  So you already know all this...]

Again??? 
 
Rich asked me to subscribe way back with Issue #5.  I sent in my money, 
I got Issue #5, and never heard from them again. 
 
Later, when Rich came on the echo to say they had resumed publication 
(with #7, hope I'm getting these numbers right - if the new issue was 
#9, then my last and only issue was 7, etc.), at least a half-dozen 
people posted similar stories on this echo; I haven't seen Rich post 
here since. 
 
I'm sure Rich and Carol are nice people.  But it's my money they've got, 
and I paid for filkzines I didn't get.

                                        by A.D. Burrows
(Tune: "Kerowyn's Ride"
  by Mercedes Lackey)
     
Santa Claus, Santa Claus, where are you going,
Dressed all in red, with your belly so round?
Is that a big bag of toys on your shoulder?
Hauling such cargo, pray, where are you bound?
        Rudolph, I'm off to deliver these presents,
        For Christmas is coming tonight!
        And kids get up early, so I'll have to hurry
        And cover the world in my flight.
        I'm glad I've got plenty of night!
     
Santa Claus, where is your sense of proportion?
Millions of children are out there, you know!
With twenty four hours to visit each household,
You've several years worth of places to go!
        Rudolph remember that I'm a magician,
        And magic I'll use on this trip.
        I'll make time slow down while I'm dropping off presents,
        So give me no more of your lip!
        Besides, there's bad children to skip.
     
Rudolph, just one thing is giving me trouble.
I have no spells over weather, you know,
And fog has rolled over the North Pole this ev'ning.
I cannot fly if I can't see to go!
        Santa Claus, toy maker, with my proboscis
        I'll see you have vision to spare!
        I'll make it glow red as he sun in the morning
        And I'll guide your sleigh through the air,
        So fog won't your progress impair!
     
Rudolph, explain why you've flipped your position,
Off'ring your nose as a built-in fog light.
After you told me my mission is hopeless,
Why are you asking to lead me tonight?
        Santa, the reindeer all think I'm a weirdo!
        They laugh at my red nose, it's true,
        But if I can use it to guide you this ev'ning,
        They'll see what my beak, here, can do
        And leave the ho ho-ing to you!
     
Santa Claus, Santa Claus, hitched up his reindeer,
Ready to touch the whole world in his flight.
With Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen
And Comet and Cupid and Donder and Blitzen,*
Santa and Rudolph went flying that night.**

My current project is trying to write a decent filk or three based on

I came into the filk habit.  I got about 2/3 through one today and lost

I'm disconcertoed by how low this is getting.  Dave, that was a truly bass
remark -- doubly so, in fact.  Do we have to cello-phane tape your mouth
closed to get you to stop?  You should be drawn and quartet.  That's the last 
time that I treat you to anything from the pizza cart -- oh, never mind.  I
shouldn't pick on you, you're a plucky fellow.

Well, it's interesting to hear about the mathoms at Lee Gold's birthday
party at ConChord, for which I surely can't take any credit.  I missed
attending it, or even knowing about it; when was that party?

I was able to be at ConChord only for part of the convention, arriving
at maybe 10PM on Friday and leaving at 4:30AM Sunday.  (I was fortunate
that the Interfilk auction was scheduled while I was there, but had to
return to work on Sunday in Colorado Springs.)  Did I miss it because of
when it was scheduled or because I was doing something else?  (It was a
very distracting con.)

It's interesting that filkish minds think alike ;-)  I could be in a lot
worse company than Lee and Barry Gold.

Sure there are!  The only problem is, that all the ones I
know are rather anti-christian.  In fact, a bit defensive.

For example:
Tune: Ma O Tzur

Ma O Tzur Yisuati
Santa gave me a christmass tree
Ihrew it out the window
It landed on the patio

(You'd get a little defensive to if you'd been
asked: "Why'd you kill God?")
