ManorCon

[stevieannie]

 Have you joined yet?  Are you up for a wonderful weekend of fun, filk and frivolity in beautiful Halsway Manor?

This is pretty much the last call for memberships for ManorCon, and I really need to fill some more rooms with filkers ready to both entertain and be entertained in equal measure!

We aren't having a "headline guest", because I'm hoping

I can't tell you how much I wish we could do this! Sidmouth, lack of money, and more importantly a lack of musical ability preclude me from signing up this year ... But I will get down to the business of practice again in September, and another time - who knows?!

Edit: iPhone replies! Gah!

I hear the cry of double-booking and lack of dosh, but really - no musical ability is NOT an accepted excuse ;-) We all tend to wurble along in whatever key we fancy. Or possibly a different one, depending on how the wind blows....

enjoy Sidders!

Since you say "practice again", implying that you have practiced in the past, you are probably a lot better than most of us who treat the 'p' word with distaste! And as A. says, lack of musical ability is no bar, "they also filk who only sit and listen". Those of us who perform need someone to be in the audience, after all!

The filkcon next February? It's not all that far from you (in Grantham). (No, I'm not on the committee for this one...)

Hee hee! I haven't done any sustained practice for about 30 years :-)

But yes, February is doable, and it does sound like fun.

Heh. If it encourages you to take it up again, go for it. There have been several years when the only time I've got the guitar out is for a filkcon.
