thatcrazycajunHad some good times last night. Heather Alexander did her usual show, which is to say an hour of hilarious patter and story-telling about the geneses of her songs (an awful lot seem to be inspired by her various household livestock, including chickens, a parrot, a dog and a cat) mixed in with virtuosa fiddle- and guitar-slinging and singing that makes me all "ohmyfreakingghodwhydoIevenbotherI'llneverinamillenniumbethatgood" inside. I like to think of her as the Melissa Etheridge of filk (mainly for her style, not her personal proclivities, of which I have no clue). Then right after, The Great lukeski emceed (E=mc2'ed?) and performed in "Dementia Live 2006," a show that featured filkertom, wormquartet, Sudden Death and the Brobdingnagian Bards and cameo appearances by the Boogie Knights among others.
This afternoon, Emerald Rose shook all the load-bearing members in the main programming level of the Hyatt with their loud and energetic brand of Celtic-rock for half an hour or so. out in the exhibit-hall performance stage area. On tap tonight: the Masquerade and 2nd shows by Tom and the Knights, and the latter have promised their sidesplitting parody of ER's Goddess-worship hit "Freya, Shakti" will end the set. Here's a hint: the chorus of the Knights' version is "Happy, Grumpy, Sneezy and Sleepy / Dopey, Doc and Bashful too..." Also more open filk. Bob Asprin has been showing up and doing his usual job of impressing the newbies and revolting the ladies, and other talented people as well as the Knights and a few GAFIAns have been present. Bravissima to D*C filk honcho Teri Wachowiak for working mighty hard to give us such a killer filk track.
