>> Thank you for the heads up on the conventions and the links! I will definitely be signing up to watch those, they look like fun, even attending virtually. <<

Glad to be of assistance. Listeners are always appreciated, and if you were inspired to become one of those People Who Sing Filk, you would be welcomed. Should you have time to attend, and care to know, I can PM you info I keep out of this blog so you know which of the other attendees I am.

>> Threes is my favorite of the songs. <<

Yeah, no surprise there from your interests. It seemed a bit unfortunate to me that the recording didn't have the punchline at the end of the song that the lyric sheet had, which added to my enjoyment of the song.

>> I'm going to go and buy those books on Kindle and do a reread. <<

Yay for getting inspired to do something enjoyable!

>> Are you familiar with Ted Nasmith's filking? <<

I followed the link to have a look. He reads as much more of a graphic artist than a musician, so it's understandable our paths have not crossed. I'll want to give some of his stuff a listen.

>> I'm very partial to Missy Lackey and Leslie Fish. <<

From what you've mentioned here, I bet you'd also like "Fellowship Going South". If you haven't heard it already, it's another Fish song, on a Tolkien subject.
