A November Smile
So, on the weekend I get a short note from 
cadhla asking me to send her a short bio. Of course, I'm all full of "???", but it's cadhla, so mine was not to question why, mine was to zip her off a eight line biography, figuring all would become clear in time.
And in this dreary, stressful November week she makes me smile by sending me back this link today: Pretty Little Dead Girl: Behind The Curtain, where Seanan is keeping a bio list of people who didn't actually participate on that live concert/CD from OVFF in 2005, but who helped influence her thoughts and year at the time. The new bio she's added for me is the second one down. And check out the cool drawing she did of me! Love it!
Also note thatcadhla is the only one I allow to tease me about my Tolkien obsession, because she has a tendency to make fun of me about hobbits and then she sends me Tolkien-inspired poetry and drawings like the LJ icon I'm using here when I finished the 'Walk to Rivendell' and she writes glorious songs about Galadriel when she's -never read "Lord of The Rings"-. Those are the kind of non-Tolkien fans the world needs.
She's also just won the Pegasus Award for Best Filk Performer in 2007, though to my ever-lasting sorrow I have never been at the right con to actually see Seanan give a concert. I've seen her perform in the Pegasus Nominee Concert at OVFF and I've heard her in open filk, but being that her concerts are becoming events of filk legend I hope it won't be long before I see a full Seanan concert!
Besides her live CD, Pretty Little Dead Girl (scroll down that link page for song samples), Seanan also has a terrific new studio CD called Stars Fall Home. It's been on my iPod since I got it, as all things Seanan should be. Was also impressed last week, too, to see John had added some songs from Seanan's CD to his MP3 player. John -never- listens to filk. When I commented on it he shrugged and said, "I like her voice and I like her wit.". Score- filk I can now play in the van.
I think Seanan should come to FilKONtario this year so she can sing and hang out with her good buddies and sometimes singing partners Vixy and Tony, who are FKO's Guest of Honour for this year. Oh, yes, I do. And then the three of them can sing me Firefly songs. 'Cause I'm just selfish that way.
