Calling All Filkers
Monday, March 1st, 2010 07:28 pmSo, Duckon has asked the musical question, "Is there any Liaden filk*?"
The answer to this is, yes, there is Liaden Filk! -- and therein lies the challenge.
First, what we have:
Agent of Change, by Lee Gold (after "Captain Jack and the Mermaid"), who was kind enough to notate it for us. Paper copy, no recording.
Tree and Dragon, by Dave Weingart![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
filkerdave-- we have a CD of Dave performing, and a printout of the lyrics
Val Con's girl, by Kirsten Edwards (after "Bobbie's Girl") -- written in response to a challenge by the authors to the Friends of Liad List, never to my knowledge recorded or performed, and quite possibly shouldn't be.
The Captain of the Ship, by Elaine Fisher (after "The Leader of the Pack") -- also written in response to the above challenge, because why should Val Con get all the good songs?
Second, what was put in a safe place and is now undiscoverable:
Seven Silver Bracelets, by Peter Cady; it was on a CD and it is in this house somewhere, but not where I thought it was. Where I thought it was were the cards from Andre Norton that I thought I'd lost. Ghod, I love being organized.
Weapon's Hall, by (I think)filkerdave; we had a CD (I think), but -- see above.
So, the challenges:
1. Does anyone know of any other Liaden filk, and can supply pointer/lyrics/recording?
2. Does anyone have recordings of the two songs we know were made, but which we cannot find? Peter andfilkerdave, I'm lookin' at you.
