Music

I sort of write about everything and nothing, as seems to be the case for most filkers, hence a definition of the term escapes me, too - try your google-fu on the term if you have some time to while away. In my case, the manifestation of the filkish genes (and, no let's not have a nature or culture debate, oki?) seems to be in the 'poking fun at stuff' lay of the trade. I also do stuff that doesn't involve a guitar, but I've not really put any of that online, except the Star-Wars-Thing - see the Media page for that one. If I get a recording of the Lord-of-the-Rings-Thing, it'll go on here, too.

An asterist like this one:* indicates text only.

As I said: in not-quite-song-things, check out the Media page for a recoding of my "Star Wars in 10 minutes" thing, whatever it is... .

OK, here are links to some songtexts (and what inspired them):
