"Break the Law" is by Doug McArthur, a close friend of Garnet's.  Garnet 
managed to lure him into the studio - check out his album.  Maybe you'll 
still like Garnet's version of some of Doug's songs better (Garnet has 
recorded lots of Doug's stuff), but there will still be some surprises. 
(i.e., the way Doug does Break the Law, you expect Dire Straits to pick 
it up...)

On "same chord progressions":

Try playing C - Am - Dm7 (or F) - G (using two measures of 4/4 time to do it)
over and over again, and then make a list of every song you can think of that

I dunno....

I like storytelling, but I don't think it should be a part of filk
programming.  Yes, people like Nick and Mark Bernstein tell stories,
but if you want to specialize in storytelling, there are groups like
Toastmasters International which are exclusively devoted to that kind
of thing.

When I go to a filk con, I want to devote my time to music.

Consortium indead!  That's ME, with some assistance from

a household in Trimaris whose name I, alas, forget).
I sometimes joke that our Pelican contribution to the

I am a might touchy on the subject because I have
gone begging every year for money for this project
and, despite massive verbal enthusaism and support
from various people, I have gotten very little
financial support.  This has left me (several times)
personally covering debts that I felt honor bound
to cover, despite failed pledges of cash.
As for this year, unless someone else brings
Leslie out, it ain't gonna happen.  There is *no*
way, given my financial situation, that I can bankroll
it.  My experience has shown me that if I get involved
in *any* way, I end up managing details and puting up

  I've been in filks with a storyteller several times in the past,
and usually it's been a great time.  But, I don't think I'd enjoy
a filk where there were more than one or two storytellers, and I
suspect that a poorly told story is even worse than a poorly written
filk.

  Something else that used to exist a lot more than it does now is
Schtick at the filk.  The Black Watch was done enough times that nobody
even remembers it anymore, and Al Frank & Bob Asprin doing Fafhrd &
Grey Mouser schtick is stuff of legend.  

  Again, done well, a little bit adds a lot of spice to a filk, but I
don't think I'd want to have a lot of it in my filk space.  I'd rather
spend an hour watching Moebius or SpaceTime Theater in Schtick Space,
than have them doing schtick in between songs in a filk.

  Once upon a time (or maybe twice) the folks at Capricon experimented
with an ad-hoc filk band providing the music for the Contra Dancers,
and running the two events simultaeneously in the same room.  We'd 
sing a few songs, then Roy & Donna would pass out some sheet music, and
explain the steps in the next dance, and we'd play a dance tune, and
then back to 'normal' filking.

  It was interesting once, but I don't think the concept was a rousing
success.  Too many of the folks really wanted to filk, but not dance,
or dance but not filk, and we ended up with a smaller than usual group
for either event that overlapped interests.

I/we had to deal with this last year at Silicon.  The con had Steven
Brust as GOH, and Brust is apparently of that mindset.  The core of
the concom, not being filk-oriented, scheduled "Minneapolis Music" in
LIEU of filking.  It wasn't until I sent email to the concom chair --
several times -- that we got filk space allocated (the concom's
original response was "Filking?  They'll just find a place in the
halls to do it....").  Unfortunately, the Minneapolis Music dominated
because the rooms were more centrally located than the filk rooms, and
because people wanted to see the GOH.

Most of the filkers who tried to play in the "Minneapolis Music" room
were scorned and scoffed at by the Minneapolis crowd. 

Suffice it to say that you have my deepest sympathy.

Subject: ConCertino last year/etc

Harold ---

     IMHO, there are just certain topics that most people tend to avoid
discussing at filksings because they tend to result in bad feelings or
conflicts, even though not discussing them tends to result in even worse
than that in the long run...

     At ConCertino, the only solution would have been somebody openly
stating that the filksing needed to be broken up since it was being hogged.
[although a bit more politely, of course. ;-]  Many filkers are shy people,
and no filkers want to hurt anyones' feelings --- filkhogs have feelings
too, you know! ;-)  None of us got up the courage/rudeness to do so, and
thus it never happened.  I think, perhaps, there should be a preassigned
person formally responsible for [if necessary] seeing if people want to
break up the filksing.  [Of course, this assumes that they do their job
well.  There was, BTW, a person on the ConCom in the filking room to make
sure that it doesn't break down into..welll...how it was, but this person
[for whatever reasons; I suspect they're probably very good since I've
seen this person run filksings and she does it _very_ well...] apparantly
didn't do it.

[requisite rambling portion of the message:]

     I think this also relates somewhat to the lack of official policies
on joining in on performances, much for the same reasons.  There was some
filker @ OVFF whose name I can't recall who joined in on fiddle through much of
the open filksing, and he _REALLY_ contributed to the sing because he was
_DAMN_ good and [as far as I saw] didn't get a single sour note!   Likewise,
I saw somebody adding in guitar work on a person in the alternate filk
room who didn't seem to have the slighest concept of what the idea of
being in the same KEY meant and completely threw the person off --- having
a, "Don't join in w/o permission" policy hurts a filk in that people such
as said filker with a fiddle can't contribute, and likewise all of the
percussion people can't. Then again, if you have a, "Join in if you know what
you're doing" policy, whose gonna tell the people who don't [yet] know what
they're doing to shut up?  It's not a job I would want to have!  Thus,
like with the chaos filks, the status quo remains because it seems to
result in the least hard feelings, although perhaps not the least pent-up
difficulties...
