Calling All Filkers

[rolanni]

So, 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 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 and filkerdave, I'm lookin' at you.

Hmm...I've only done the one so far; I think "Witches Hall of Weapons" was Mike Richards out of the UK (it wasn't me, alas).

I'll shoot him an email about it and see if he's got a recording. (And clearly, I need to write more before Duckcon!)

Thank you!

(And clearly, I need to write more before Duckcon!)

Ooh, that would be super.

Great. Now I've been earwormed with "I think that I shall never see / A poem lovely as the Tree"...

What's your timescale on this? I can probably do you a recording of me singing and playing (after a fashion) "Agent of Change", and I can contact Mike Richards about the Weapons Hall one, but I'm not sure when.

I've put a message on FILK_UK (UK filk mailing list), I'll follow it up with a link to this post.

Thank you!

Not sure of the deadline, if one. The con's in mid-June, so before that, for sure.
