It was my pleasure to see that performance at the 1991 Phoenix RG. They're selling videotapes, and we have a downloadable ascii libretto on the Greater Phoenix Mensa BBS (602) 840 4865 1:114/72, as well as several libretti of filkish (?) parodies from past Arizona ACLU Follies.

petersm@jacobs.CS.ORST.EDU (Marguerite Petersen) inquires what filk
is.  Let's see what we can do about that ...

  - Filk is what filkers do.

  - (Paraphrasing Tom Lehrer, himself almost a filker, except he's too good)
    ... Filk, I'm pleased to say, is in the mind of the beholder.
    When correctly viewed, EVERYTHING is crude.
    I could sing you songs about Ticktock Man
    Or fijagdh and fiawol, though it doesn't quite scan ...

  - If it's on key, it isn't filk.

  - If it sounds like Every Other Tune, it IS filk.

  - If it is         and      , you're going to have to convince us
             SERIOUS     HEAVY
    it's filk.

  - If no one listening can figure it out, it's probably filk, but no
    one will ask for a copy.


As to whether your sonnets are filk, well, we won't know until we hear
you recite them at a filksing, will we?  Maybe they will acquire
tunes, sometime.

My friends are not 'offensive' as you claim;
'Defensive' is more accurate by far.
'Offensive' ones are those, who, prone to flame,
Proclaim how innocent they wish to think they are.

Against your ego-feeding shark attacks,
It's only natural that one defends.
Git real Floyd.  And, sticking to the facts,
You *haven't* been here longer than my friends.

When Snake saw that Dave A. had coaxed you here,
He thought perhaps a filk might cool your fire.
His guess was wrong, and now it's very clear
It only served to turn your flame up higher.

At least I know *I'm* safe from Kay's Kabong.)

Hello.

Whilst visiting a friend in Menlo Park a few years back, he played a tune for
me called 'S-100' and 'You can build a mainframe out of things you find at home'
These two tunes were hysterical, and I've never heard them since. He classified
them as 'filk', and I forgot completely about filk until this group was auto
added to my server. Does anyone have mode info on these tunes? Any pointers to
lyrics? Sources for the recordings?

Thanks in advance,

(Celtic/Irish tapes continued -- Part 2)
 
Celtic Stone
Celtic Stone, Druid Wood, Natural Bridges
Group from Austin, TX--their stuff is interesting & fun.  Natural
Bridges tends to be American folk (but hey, our roots are Celtic,
right?).
 
Kim Robertson
Wind Shadows I & II, Water Spirit, Moonrise
SoCal Celtic harpist; very mellow music.  Good productions.
Moonrise has other musical genre selections.
 
Joe Bethancourt
Old Red Cat, Celtic Circle Dance (plus others I don't have)
(8^) we *know* him!)  Arizona folk artist, versatile in many folk
music traditions, but these two are the most Celtic of his
productions.  I esp. liked Celtic Circle Dance.  (P.S. Catch Joe at
ConChord 8 this year; he's The Toastmaster!)
 
Clannad
Dulamain (plus other early productions; their later stuff is pretty
much modern on into Rock [imagine straight Rock sung in Gaelic])
Irish band from Ireland that started out traditional Celtic folk
and evolved to Celtic Rock.  Did the soundtrack for the BBC series
of Robin Hood.  Their very early tapes/LP's are mostly traditional
Celtic & often sung in Gaelic.
 
Blackthorne
Dougherty's Fancy
Traditional Celtic folk group from Oklahoma City, OK.  Good group;
very lively.  This is the only tape of theirs I have.
 
Tony Elman
Shakin' Down the Acorns (1 & 2), Swinging On The Gate
Shakin' 1 is mostly traditional Celtic; the other two lean more the
American bluegrass/folk.  Tony is a local SoCal hammered dulcimer
artist and all 3 of his tapes are well produced.  Shakin' 1&2 are
my favorites.

Please forgive a hopelessly naive question, but how exactly does filk differ
from the subjects discussed on the ..dementia (memory fails me on the prefixes)
or ..folk groups?  

I see questions/discussions on parodies and "humorous" music (like PDQ Bach) in
both places.  I'm a fan of it all, albeit a lazy one and would prefer to do
one-stop shopping, so to speak, instead of checking group after group after
group...

As I said, hopelessly naive question, so PLEASE no flames? Well, ok.  Maybe a

Hello, remember this?
The book I wrote about?
(etc, etc...)

Well, I finished it --- I strongly recommend it to any _BEGINNERS_ with
very little musical experience - if you have a reasonable amount of guitar
experience, it's quite worthless.  (I, personally, found the table of bass
runs to be quite useful, but other than that, uh, let's just say that I'm
glad I bought it for a friend rather than myself :-)

There are a *FEW* minor screw-ups --- a few pages refered to on the tape
are different than those in the book.  I personally could deal without
the country/blues music used for teaching, but, well, it *IS* _Country
and Blues_ guitar for the musically hopeless! :-)

Overall, it seems to be a great way to learn the guitar for a person
who isn't highly motivated or musically experienced and well worth the $12!

(Celtic/Irish tapes continued -- Part 3)
 
For excellent folk music of traditional & original tunes/
arrangements, try this group:
 
Golden Bough
Golden Bough, Boatman's Daughter, Flight of Fantasy, Winding Road,
Far From Home, Beyond the Shadows (& 1 Christmas album)
NoCal's *favorite* folk group; they've played at the early Bayfilks
and now do backup on Firebird tapes when not on the road in Europe
(their biggest market).  Look for their tapes at most filk dealers
and also catch them in concert (if you can -- they skipped SoCal
this year).  The 1st tape is the mostly traditional Celtic; the
others are a blend of various genres & original tunes.
 
Now, there are also *many* more artists whose tapes/CD's I don't
have that are excellent.  I myself own *many* more tapes of
traditional Celtic music, but those listed are my personal
favorites that I listen to regularly & which go into my travelling
tape kit (that long haul up the I-5 to San Jose and back to LA).
I tend to collect hammered dulcimer & Celtic harp artists and
usually find their tapes at folk music festivals since most music
stores in LA area have miniscule folk sections and the selections
are pretty standard (it's hard to find artists who record on their
own label).  However, NoCal has an excellent folk music store in
Cerritos or San Pablo called Down Home Music -- a folky's heaven!
Plus filk dealers such as Wail Songs, DAG Productions and Firebird
carry a goodly assortment of folk artists.
 
One thing to consider, though, is that many folk artists produce
their own tapes and the production quality can be pretty variable,
which can be disappointing at times after hearing them live at a
festival (kind of like filk).
 
If you want addresses, let me know & I'll post them (if I have
them).

 How do you save a drowning agent?  
         Throw him a rock.  
 
 How can you tell if an agent is lying? 
         His lips are moving. 
 
 What do you have if you have 6 club owners buried up to their necks in 
 an anthill? 
         Not enough anthill. 
 
 Why do nightclub owners wear ties? 
         To keep their foreskins from slipping up over their heads. 
 
 How many filkers does it take to change a lightbulb? 
         As many as you can fit into the room, and Bob Kanefsky. One 
         changes it, the rest make up a song about it, and Bob Kanefsky 
         changes it again. 
 
 Person 1:  Do you know how to save a drowning agent?  
 Person 2:  No.  
 Person 1:  GOOD!  
 
 A grade school teacher was asking students what their parents did for  
 a living. "Tim, you be first," she said. "What does your mother do  
 all day?" Tim stood up and proudly said, "She's a doctor." "That's  
 wonderful. How about you, Amie?" Amie shyly stood up, scuffed her  
 feet and said, "My father is a mailman." "Thank you, Amie," said the  
 teacher. "What about your father, Billy?" Billy proudly stood up and  
 announced, "My daddy plays piano in a whorehouse." The teacher was  
 aghast and promptly changed the subject to geography. Later that day,  
 she went to Billy's house and rang the bell. Billy's father answered  
 the door. The teacher explained what his son had said and demanded an  
 explanation. Billy's father said, "I'm actually a filker.  But how  
 can I explain a thing like that to a seven-year-old?"  
 
 A man walked into a bar with his alligator and asked the bartender,  
 "Do you serve filkers here?" "Sure do," replied the bartender.  
 "Good," said the man. "Give me a beer, and I'll have a filker for my  
 'gator."  
 
 A filker ordered a pizza, and the clerk asked him how many 
 pieces he wanted it sliced into, six or twelve.  "Six," he 
 said.  "I could never eat twelve." 
 
 How do you amuse a club owner for hours? 
      Write 'Please turn over' on both sides of a contract! 
 
 What is the difference between Bigfoot and an in-tune filker? 
      There have been reported sightings of BigFoot! 
 
 How do you get the filking out of the room and on the top of the  
 hotel roof? 
      Tell them the drinks are on the house. 
 
 Two young filkers were watching a TV show on the French Revolution. 
 "There's one thing that puzzles me," one of them said. "If 
 they were so poor, how could they afford all of that antique furniture?"
