Wow!! all you people who refer to Mercedes Lackey and Elizabeth Anne Scarborough tickle me to no end. I agree about these writers - in Scarborough's series on "godmothers" she even has a character compare himself to Finbar Furey... I'l pretty well wager Finbar doesn't mind! But I would like to know what he would think abt portrayals of performers - he and his brothers say they sang their way out of a pretty tough neighborhood.
