Now to come up with a ballad featuring a dysfunctional family of mythical creatures hunting and translate it into icelandic. Then I'll onlyh need one song.

I guess the suggestion box is closed by now but here's one anyway.

Unrelieved "dark" ballads/songs. There's 1,000's to pick from so the darker the better. Easy examples - the hero dies, mother kills the babes, vital battle is lost, no one escapes the plague, door is locked during the fire, etc. Serious, travesty or parody.

That's what we call Irish Love songs at ren-faire.

What Saul said...I have a couple of songs I'm working on learning for general purposes, but a list of workshops would be useful in case it highlights anything I should add. (Or for that matter, anything I should make an extra-special effort to dust off!)

"Unrelieved "dark" ballads/songs"

One can always organize an impromptu small session....

Years ago, it was suggested, and Mark Gilston said that "Out on the grass" there would be "Songs of Dismemberment" Oh, we (7-8 of us)had a jolly hour!

Dismembers only? Or can we have a dismembership drive? As long as it doesn't cost an arm and a leg......

"Dismembership" = What I fear every time I try and sneak in a filksong at an FSGW gathering... 8-)

(Sigh.) It happened again.   I posted yesterday about a program suggestion, and the post DID go through, but it's now disappeared.   This is happening too often and it's wearing me down.

Thanks, Abby. I tried several times but couldn't make the link work -- always worked before, but couldn't do it this time. Anyhow, there it is. Abby's link takes you to Saturday's schedule, and there is a link at the top of that page that takes you to Sunday. As in the past, Dean has worked his magic so that as you hold your cursor over the schedule, the short descriptive blurbs about each workshop appear.

We're quite pleased with the schedule. It's very full, of course, but that's a good thing, right? Better too much than too little. Take a good look -- if you are a workshop leader and we have you scheduled in two places at once, let us know NOW and we'll fix it. If you simply want to be in two (or more) places at once, well, join the club.

If you still haven't registered for the Getaway, there's still time -- but do it soon! You can go to www.fsgw.org (I've given up trying to do links today...), scroll down just a bit and click on "Fall Getaway." You can register on line or print out the form and mail it in.

We have a wonderful lineup of invited guests this year, and anticipate a great weekend. See you all there!

Genie -- obviously it's too late for more program ideas for this year, but do let us know your idea and we'll note it down for consideration for next year.
