Your excellent song lyric

[markiv1111]

You probably don't want to know this, but this lyric can be sung to "The Yellow Rose of Texas," "Folsom Prison Blues," "Pinball Wizard," "O Little Town of Bethlehem," "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear," and "Old Lang Syne," not to mention at least two tunes for my own songs. Nonetheless, very good writing.

Thank you!

Feel free to sing to any of the above if you like (or anything else; usual filk manners apply).

I'll keep singing it to Horsetamer's Daughter, though. :)

Er, I would think you'd keep singing it to "Under the Gripping Beast".

Details, details.

I have long thought that someone should do a talking blues version of the Horsetamer's Daughter. Does such a thing exist?

Also, nice work!

[mneme]

Thanks!

You're thinking of (or hoping for) osewalrus's "Like Comyn to the Slaughter". It's in the Concertino '92 program book, apparently (or, obviously, you could get it from Harold).

[ladymondegreen]

Thanks!

I'm glad someone else did it so that I don't have to. I'll hit osewalrus up for it at some point.

I think I have hard copy of the words around somewhere.

Okay, I know I'm biased and all. But, damn, that's good!

Come here while signal boosting the pre-release of Julia's newest album, "Horsetamer", I noticed a mini-oops:

They granted me an eight^ domain, which was not theirs to give,

Good catch. Fixed it.
