Music
We perform a number of original songs, as well as music we have gathered from other filkers. We also perform a number of traditional and modern folk songs. Eventually we hope to have lyrics and samples added to the web site. In the meantime, two of our songs are up on Filkarchive. Here is a list of some of the songs we often perform.
