silmaril posted a song by Bob Esty of Clam Chowder. I'd like to suggest "Keep the Dream Alive", by Stephen Savitzky, as well. Someone already wondered aloud on rec.music.filk how long it'll be before someone adds a Columbia verse to it.

The song going through my head is "Hope Eyrie", by Leslie Fish, mostly because that's the one I already know the melody for. Even though it celebrates a highlight instead of lamenting a tragedy, something about the gritty determination of it feels apropriate for today.

Performing at a festive event (Winterfest) this evening is going to feel pretty darned strange. Maybe there'll be an apropriate spot to slip "Lamento di Tristano" into the set list, if enough of the band feels solid on that tune.

Oh [expletive], here come the tears.
