27 Feb 99 - 02:33 PM (#60611) Subject: filk songs From: Teresa I'm an avid fan of folk music and literary science fiction. I keep hearing about SF-based folk song swapping at conventions, but have never made it to any cons. I'd be interested in finding books, recordings, websites--anything concerning filk singing. I'm especially interested in literary SF, though I'll make an exception for Star Trek or the occasional Star Wars song. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks, Teresa |

One filk song I stumbled across on the internet was "Do Virigin's Taste Sweeter Thank Those Who Are Not" (sung to the Irish Washerwoman) addressed to a virgin-eating dragon. |
