Urban Tapestry podcast interview online (plus a shameless plea)



Thanks to Jodi for alerting me to the fact that our podcast interview is up on the Balticon website. Allison, Jodi and I had a lot of fun with the charming Paul Fischer, who interviewed us for his podcast. So much fun that he managed to convince us to sing a song a capella during the show.

UT and Paul Fischer

As part of the move to a new server and format, I’m gradually updating the Urban Tapestry song list. The first I’ve added is Library Boy, a song that we performed for Rand Bellavia as birthday surprise in 2002. We don’t tend to perform this song since I stopped being able to play guitar, and I’d be thrilled if anyone out there wanted to cover it — I’m pretty happy with how the song turned out, and it’s still being requested in open filk.

Whoever sings this song should probably :-) be female and be able to sing bluesy/torchy-like. Rand isn't mentioned specifically in the song, so it's a suitable song for anyone who appreciates libraries and/or books.

If you’re willing to give it a shot, please let me know and I’ll send you the chords/lyrics as well as hunt down a recording. Right now I think I only have a cassette tape recording, and I'll have to figure out a way to digitize it. Thanks! (with fingers crossed very hard)
