It'll come as no surprise that music sometimes gets to places other things can't reach, and there were many songs at FilkContinental that helped, one way and another. A few particularly memorable ones were:
Hearing Phil's "Time for Parting" and "Precious Moments" with Marilisa on Friday evening. Both had me in tears.
Sam Baardman's "Solar Flare" and Stan Rogers' "Northwest Passage", both led by Dave Clement in the "Great Canadian White North" workshop. Songs to sing along with, both.
Deborah accompanying X singing "Flower Girls" in the Monday night circle. Straight to the heart.
The wonderfully spooky version of Jodi Krangle's "The Lady" sung in the early hours of Tuesday morning. Shivers down the spine.
There were also, of course, comic moments. Franklin's addition to Marilisa's "One Small Boat" (and her quip in response) was priceless...
