Maire is one of Enya's older sisters and lead singer with family band
Clannad. Maire is also the title of her first solo album.

In addition to the _Request_ magazine, I found a magazine called _Hot Press_
published in Ireland.  Interestingly enough, it has the same article by
Cathy Dillon!  However, the one in _Hot Press_ is a bit longer and the
wording is somewhat different (including some of the things she quoted
Maire saying). 

The photos are quite different... Maire, holding a soccer ball, is on the
front cover of this 11x17in magazine.  Inside, there is a small photo
of Maire wearing, yes, boxing gloves and another picture w/Aisling in
a small New York Yankees outfit.  All very unflattering...

Anyone want to give me a color scanner and OCR software to transcribe
the article? :-)

The language is Irish Gaelic, and old celtic language that is spoken by
about 6% of the Irish population (I'm not sure about this, someone correct
me if I'm wrong). Unfortunately it seems like there are less and less 
people who speak it, wich is sad, because it's an interesting language.

Yes, buy the other albums, at least Enya, Watermark and Shepherd Moons.

  Yes,  folks, it's that time again where the world holds it's breath
   to see what will be released internationally by Enya.  This time
   things are from Japan.

          Enya  -  (6 tracks) Book of Days

             includes:
               
                 1) Oriel Window
                 2) As Baile
                 3) Carribean Blue
                 4) Book of Days (English version)
                 5) Angeles
                 6) S' mo faigan ... (the B-side track to How Can I
                                      Keep from Singing ,  I know
                                      I misspelled it.)

    The treat here is the same as the treat on her first 6 tracks, 
     (which, by the way, is permanently out of print) is that this
     6 tracks contains all the material from her singles, including 
     very rare tracks such as Oriel Window.  Even if you have collected
     the singles all along, it is a real treat having them all on one
     CD (as well as having a duplicate if you accidentally scratch one
     of those rare, precious Enya singles.)  If you are interested,
      please e-mail me as soon as possible, for no one (except WEA) 
     knows how much longer this will stay in print.

    Thank you.
     Paul  Heydt
     heydt@eniac.seas.upenn.edu

       Price is $26.50 + $2.50 S&H (in U.S.A.)
                       + $4.50 S&H (everywhere else)

Well, I said this much more eloquently before on this group,
but for newcomers, MHO about Maire's album is that Enya/Clannad
fans will like it, though it is more influenced by "World
Beat" music as filtered through white people (like Paul Simon);
heavy on the percussion and chanting.  Not to say I don't
like it--I do!  But it's not nearly as etheral and, doggone it,
just not as beautiful, as Enya's music.

                  The Glory In Our Dice

              (Tune: The Story In Your Eyes)

I've been thinking 'bout our evenings,
When the reasons that we give are sounding lame;
Though some say we might be doing better things
I still want to game.

And the nights we spend together,
And the worlds that we all fantasize...
They're more thrilling than our real jobs,
You realize.

Listen to the dice as they tumble,
And take your hit points away.
A wondrous raucous rumble...
All the creatures that we slay.

And when our time is over,
And the potato chips are lying on the floor,
Then I take a blank character sheet
And roll some more.

 SP>Pardon me, but could someone confirm or deny my guess that
 SP>"filk music" refers to song parodies?

Look out!  Here comes the canned explanation again!!

WHAT THE HECK IS FILK MUSIC? 

by Nick Smith (of LA Filkharmonics) 
  
Well, it's sort of like folk music.  It is a mixture of song parodies and
original music, humorous and serious, about subjects like science fiction,
fantasy, computers, cats, politics, the space program, books, movies, TV
shows, love, war, death. . . 
  
Filk music started off forty or fifty years ago, at science fiction
conventions, where people got together late at night to have good
old-fashioned folk music song circles.  Well, late night circles being what
they are, some folks got a little silly and started singing song parodies
about their favorite SF books and authors.  Fans started writing song parodies 
about themselves or each other.  Some started composing serious songs about
favorite topics.  Some authors started composing original songs for their
books.  If the author didn't list a tune, fans made up one.  Sometimes two. 
Sometimes several. 
  
Eventually, Filk songs wre written for just about every major science fiction 
or fantasy work.  Some of them were actually good enough that people wanted to 
learn them, or just listen to them more than just at conventions.  At that
point, song books and recordings started being made. 
  Over the last decade, Filk Music has reached the point where there are
entire Filk Music gatherings, conventions, recording companies, and
publications.  Filk Music includes song parodies, original songs, and slightly 
musical poetry.  It's a fun way to indulge in a little musical creativity,
especially if you are a science fiction or fantasy fan as well as musically
inclined.  If you are only a fan, but not musical, you can still listen.  Filk 
circles aren't pushy about requiring you to play or sing.  If you are only
musical, but not a fan, no one will hold it against you.  Remember, we're in
this thing for fun! 
  
[Written for flyer for distribution at California Traditional Music
Society Annual Summer Solstice Dulcimer Festival and other local Los
Angeles folk music events and stores.]

What Nick didn't tell you is that the name started out as a typo of "folk"
and was gleefully adopted by all and sundry as a term for what is after
all a somewhat unusual subset.

Lynn...
 
I agree that I wouldn't intentionally schedule one-shots opposite
somebody else's concert.  (In fact, I'd say I'd NEVER do that, but
my memories of last Chicon are hazy enough that I'm not committing
to anything without checking.)  That's just sloppy scheduling.
(Which does happen, mind you.  I submitted the schedule of filk
concerts for Chicon, but they weren't entered into the database.
As a result, Jordin was booked for a concert and a panel at the same
time, so we had to juggle his concert slot.  *oops*)
 
Having songs on a live tape does make it possible for people outside
your area to hear you.  On the other hand, a really good tape will
sell by word of mouth.  (Not to mention word of filthy huckster who
wants to sell things that make his customers happy :-)
 
As far as the cash outlay goes, you can produce a perfectly acceptable
master given something like a Tascam Porta II (about $450), one good
microphone (on the less expensive end, I like the AKG C1000S at about
$300), and a lot of patience.  The Porta II has a built-in mini
mixing board which makes life a lot cheaper.  You might want to rent
a compressor for a weekend when doing the final mix.  This makes it
much easier to hear the loud and soft parts.  (I don't think renting
a DBX 166, for example, would be more than, say, $50.)
 
If you're planning on keeping costs down by doing your own duplication,
you can mix down to a DBX cassette master -- some cassette decks have
DBX built-in; I bought an outboard unit for about $50 new.  That'll
give you a clean master to duplicate from.
 
The last major expense is your insert.  I cannot emphasize too highly
the value of a good insert in marketing your tape.  It is the first
thing that the customer sees when he looks at the tape.  Given that
many filk tapes come with full color inserts with strong artwork,
the chances of someone picking up a tape with a two-color xeroxed
insert are a LOT lower than they used to be.  You can get a thousand
color inserts run for about $250.  (Of course, you'll have to get
the artwork from somewhere.  And it's usually possible to scrounge
a desktop publishing system for an evening to lay out your text.)
 
Ok, so the up-front expense involved in doing a tape is about $300
for rentals and inserts, and about $800 for equipment that you can
reuse.  $1100 is not a trivial sum by any means, but it's not
undoable.  And if several people are interested in doing tapes,
the $800 can be split up among them.
 
Of course, doing the duplication by hand takes a lot of time.  But
it also saves a lot of money.  (Personally, I have more money than
time, so...)
 
Oh well, time to take off the businessman hat...
