We were lucky enough to have the wonderful Marc Gunn help us out with the first of two InstaFilk panels that we held over Dragon*con. We used Marc’s blues version of the classic “Oh, Susanna” as a base for our ode to many of our favorite shows that have been cancelled before they should have been.
After spending an hour in our track room, we had another fabulous filk to add to our collection!
Full lyrics are below the fold.
Where do ideas for filk songs come from? How do you make them work? Do I have to play guitar? What if I can’t sing very well? Does it have to be funny? Can I write my own melody? All of these questions and many other of the dark mysteries of Filk will be answered at our “Intro to Writing Songs for Filk” panel and workshop! Come join us!
What is it? Who’s doing it? Join us on Saturday at 1pm as musicians Alex Boyd and Blue, as well as Wizard Rock Blogger Alli Martin answer these and many more questions about some of the new generation of filk music and its players.
