Well, this was a great con once again!!!  Graham and Becca Leathers (filk guests) remembered me from Gafilk.  Becca's words were "wow, someone we know!!!" when i walked into the Kaffeeklatch.  That was cool.  they put on a good show friday night, then they came to the open filking...where everyone was singing and playing along with everyone else.   Lots of fun.  I did Urban Tapestry's "The Lady" and Becca told me she had several favorites of theirs, and mentioned "Starsoul"...which was one of the songs I had planned to sing in my concert Saturday morning.  I went ahead and played it then and she sang along with me like she had on "the Lady"....and Graham played his bodhran...it sounded so cool.   while the next couple of people in the circle were taking their turns, I sat with the idea bouncing around in my head...and then I asked Becca if she and Graham would like to perform "Starsoul" with me in my concert...they said yes, enthusiasticly :)  moving along to Saturday morning: I was supposed to be sharing the hour with Kandy Jarvis...she came up to me about 30 minutes or so before the timeslot looking haggard and told me she was having a reaction to some new meds, and couldn't possibly perform, so I'd have to take over.  I went to Lee Billings (who was in charge of filk concerts) and told her Kandy couldn't perform and what did she want to do..she told me to just fill the whole hour...so I went thru my songs and found a few more to add time ...and went to the Leathers and asked if they would like to do "The Lady" with me also...again they agreed...so i had a great time...expanded concert slot....and got to have a wonderful addition to two of my songs (I always prefer singing engroup, rather than solo...HARMONIES!!!  sqeeeee)  and a good audience too.   the only down side was, once again, my recording equipment didn't fuction properly, and I got None of my concert (and only three songs from the Leather's performance, which followed mine)....but I have my memories...and the compliments from the audience.
