(ok, so maybe more than a few)
OF MY FAVORITE
(INTERNET) THINGS

Heatherlands.com: Home of Heather Alexander and friends

Heather Dale

"A modern Celtic singer-songwriter inspired by ancient legends and life." She has a voice as smooth as silk and sings some great stories. If you're a fan of Arthurian legend you'll appreciate her work even more.

The Dandelion Conspiracy

Filk Music: What's That?

FilKONtario 15

*The* Canadian filk convention. If you want a crash course on filkers, filking and filk conventions, drop by the next FilKONtario.

Folk Music Home Page

Bob Kanefsky's Songworm site

Karen Linsley

Shameless plug: you should buy Karen Linsley's CD if for no other reason than to hear the wonderfully enchanting and extremely captivating title track (which is not based on the television series). However, although "Road to Roswell" is worth the price of the CD on its own, there are many other wonderful sf and fantasy songs worth hearing too.

Steve Macdonald

I was introduced to this man's songs through FilKONtario and I am extremely grateful to them. Steve is a talented songwriter, singer, and musician. Appropriately enough, Steve will be the GOH at this year's FilKONtario!

Kathy Mar's Homepage

One of the foremost filkers and a wonderful lady as well! If you're missing copies of her lyrics, this is the place to go.

The Mudcat Cafe

Ohio Valley Filk Fest (OVFF) 21

*The* filk convention. One of these years, I may even get to attend one!

Joey Shoji's Web Page

Tom Smith Online

How can one man have penned "A Boy and His Frog" *and* "PQR (You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet)"? Check out his web site to learn more about this diverse filker with a warped sense of humour. Tom will be the Filk GOH at this year's Ad Astra. Woohoo!

Urban Tapestry

The finest filk group around today!! These three multi-talented women, based in Toronto, sing like angels, but also have a wicked sense of humour which has been known to work its way into their songs (Jalapeno Lover is a classic example). Buy their tapes--you won't regret it!!

The Virtual Filksing

Mewsic.com - Hopeful Romantics: Ed Stauff & Mary Ellen Wessels (MEW)

Anyone who can get me to attend a singing workshop must be a rather amazing person! MEW also happens to have an extremely beautiful voice. Be sure to check out information on her first solo album.

Some people seem to think that this talented young man is the greatest thing (musically speaking) since sliced bread. I disagree.
