And You Thought Signing Filkers Was Hard
This past Wednesday's Washington Post ran an entertaining article on how sign-language interpreters translate Lady Gaga, Bon Jovi and other rockers and pop stars. You think interpreting filkertom or seanan_mcguire is hard? Try dealing with such exquisite lyrics as "Come on now, this beat is sick. I wanna take a ride on your disco stick" (Gaga) or "There's only pictures hung in the shadows left there to look at you" (Bon Jovi).
Of course, the article reminded me instantly of our beloved judifilksign and the wonderful interpretations she brings to the filk stage. Which you can see if you head up to the wilds of Parsippany this July for NEFilk 21: Contata 6, where she is the Guest of Honor.
