I'm glad the set went well.

Have a big time at the other cons!

thanks. ConDFW isn't a big filking con...we do have filk circle on friday and Saturday nights (Fax and I were almost alone friday...had a couple of people stop in but not for long...we made an early night of it (since I hadn't slept since 3am THURSDAY morning, I was barely there!) Saturday night we had a good group of people for that con :) lots of fun. I did miss that Steve Brust wasn't at the con this year...probably because the policy of the Radisson that the con was in changed to prohibit smoking everywhere...including the rooms...which, even though I'm a non-smoker, I think sucks..because the smokers have rights too...and should be allowed to smoke in their rooms...i think the smoke-nazi's are going tooooooo far with that. I'm sure I'll get to jam with him another time and con (he's a guest at Aggiecon in March, so I'll see him there, I'm sure)
I did discover that when you haven't slept in over 24 hours that Damh the Bard and Laura Powers are NOT good travelling music ...they play pagan music that is restful and beautiful...and lulls me right into a resting state...not good when driving!!!

Yeah, for driving you want something a bit livelier, like Tricky Pixie or Annwn, or Emerald Rose.

Lots of lively options are certainly available. Have you heard Emerald Rose's latest [Con Suite] yet?

nope...I have their first 5 albums, but nothing in the last couple years.

It's lively, funny, and, best of all, not full of previously-released material. For a while, they got a bit heavy on the recycling.

I could upload some samples, if you'd like.

cool :) I did notice that several songs were on several different albums
