It's excellent! Especially appreciated the full-harmony flourish on the word "on" in "the nights just carry on" You could have done it straight, but the extra notes make it much richer!

I'd love that! I immediately connected with your music...so good! Two things: on stage I would get so excited when the really good harmony parts were coming up. And...acapella makes it even more exciting. Moved back to the states a few years ago, really miss that band!

I've been away from filk for a decade. Not because I wasn't interested, it's just that life threw me a succession of curveballs. Used to to the UK Filk ocns when I lived across the pond. Thanks for the pointer to MarsCon..."con-in-a-con Comedy Music Track" sounds perfect!!

Enjoying your music...thanks for hte follow! So, are you in Iowa these days? If so I'm just up the road. From a fellow songwriter/bass player/multi-instrumentalist...

I'm just wondering how you spotted me on Bluesky and made the connection? I've only been here less than a week, and I'm still pretty baffled, though liking what I see

Hi Michelle, so good to hear from you! Hope things are going well. Saw John this summer...he came to visit Minnesota. Wonder if you're still in contact.

And yes, I too am outraged. Kind of...beyond outrage, just numb

Excellent (and sobering)…

Already sick of Consumeristmas? MERRY CRISIS! We made this song to remind ourselves we can invent our own ways to show our loved ones we care about them that feel more appropriate to the times we are living in than just hitting the usual overspend button www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDjh...

Just discovering your music as part of getting acclimated to Bluesky. So much! I especially liked Roses in the Rocks...definitely need to learn that one!
