To continue--lots of filks about vampires have been done; I'd suggest
Cynthia McQuillin's _Moon Shadows_ tape and songbook, and "Baby Vampire
Boogie (Fly By Night)" on Windbourne's first (and out-of-print) tape,
_Echoes On the Wind_.
Darkover filks are usually to be found in Darkover zines; someone
who has those references handy can fill her in. There are some on
various tapes: "The Marching Song Of Bard DiAsturien" by (I think)
Roberta Rogow comes to mind; can't remember whether it's on a con tape,
one of her tapes, or both. One of the most famous is "The Horse-Tamer's
Daughter", by Leslie Fish (also one of the longest!), found on the 
out-of-print tape and songbook of the same name. (There are still a 
few of the songbooks around from dealers; the tape is VERY hard to 
find any more.)
Lee Gold's _Xenofilkia_ and _Filker Up_ filkzines contain a wide variety
of filksongs; I know there are several good vampire songs, maybe a Xanth
or two, and I think at least one or two Darkover (don't have my index
to check, and anyway it only covers _Xeno_).
That do for a start?

The first arrival was at 6:45 pm on Friday evening, followed shortly
by 4 more folks at about 7pm.

The Sushi run was launched shortly thereafter with Kathy gathering 2
more folks from the BART station and expected to meet yet another 2
more at the restaurants.

That's all for now.

I can't answer for the Cats Laughing tape, as I don't know when or
where it came out; but _Horse-Tamer's Daughter_ came out in 1983 or
so, and went out of print at least 5 years ago. The company that
made it (Off-Centaur Publications) dissolved. There are a few copies
of the songbook available from dealers, but the last tape _I_ had in
stock was sold early last year or late the year before, and I was lucky
to have that one. Good luck finding one!
If I do get any more (not likely) I'll announce it. (I'm a dealer.)

I don't think he does much anymore, but he used to.  He's written a few, too. 
 I remember a number of Dragaeran ones, mostly from before he sold any of the 
stories.  There's also a great bridge-related parody of "Don't Think Twice,
It's All Right" called "Don't Think Twice, We're Down One."
  
"I'm running out those long losing clubs, pard

But overbid is too good a word, pard
So I'll just say, defended well
I'm a-thinkin' and a-wonderin' as the last cards are played

Yes, again; I won't be able to hold another filksing for a very

Refreshments will be provided on a

to go around.

The official style of the sing shall be poker chip.

Actually, when you said slapping sound, I zoned in on the thumb-slap
method, but You'll have to forgive me for living in the midst of
'hick' country country where the slap bass style of which you speak is
more often the off-beats than syncopated.... but now that you mention
it, I've heard a few greats have a lot of fun with it although it
never came easily to my right hand so I never really went beyond the
local stuff to the style of which you speak.

I might add that one of the first times I tried that method during
an onstage rehearsal of _Pop's Hoedown_, my high school orchestra
director asked us to slap the strings on the off-beats...and then
said LOUDER....and when I complied, the fingerboard broke free from
the neck of the bass, fell to the bridge and broke it too, fell to
the floor and cracked, and then the soundpost fell to put the cherry
on top so to speak.   Maybe that's another reason I don't often use
the technique even when asked to!  I've friends who still kid me about
it when we play the Pops for children's concerts.



... Then again, it was a GREAT sound effect!

The song is by the late Allan Sherman; it's the opening ditty on a cut
called "Shticks of One and Half a Dozen of the Other" at the end of his
"My Son, The Celebrity" album (alas, out of print...I wish I could get
it on CD).  The exact words are:

She wheels her wheelbarrow
Through streets that are narrow
Her barrow is narrow
Her hips are too wide
So whenever she wheels it
The neighborhood feels it
Her girdle keeps scraping
The homes on each side

In Dublin's fair city
Where girls are so pretty
My Molly stands out
'Cause she weighs 18 stone (that's 256 pounds)
I don't mind her fat, but
It's not only that, but
She's cockeyed and muscle-bound
Molly Malone!

P.S.--Sorry Kay, but I'd have to hold a seance to ask the author for
permission. :-)
