>From Barb Lettermann:
For those of you familiar with ‘filk’, you will recognize this month’s
performer.  She has been a BNF (Big Name) in our music community for many years.
Her songs are widely known and performed at ‘filk sings’ (music circles).  Her
lyrics have something to say and say it well.  She is an intense and vibrant
personality who sings the way she lives - with passion.  And that whole
hearted passion is contagious.  This is a good thing.  Come on out tomorrow night
and ‘catch’ a little of it for yourself.  You won’t regret you did.


A bit more about Kathy,

Kathy Mar started her professional music career as a streetsinger and folk
artist in the clubs and coffeehouses of Denver and environs. That is where she
discovered filk and filk discovered her. Her first recordings were on the
Off-Centaur label where she did three solo albums and additional songs on many
other projects. She followed that with two albums of more eclectic styles on Thor
records. Those albums have recently been digitally remastered and re-released
on the first-ever filk double CD set with three additional bonus tracks. She
went on to do a CD with Zander Nyrond on Dandelion Digital Recordings called
"Made By Magic" because it was recorded entirely live-to-digital in six days.
This was followed by her most successful album to date "These Are a Few of My
Favorite Sings" on the Prometheus label. Kathy has won several Pegasus awards
and was inducted into the Filk Hall of Fame in only the second year of its
existence. She lives in a commune in California, has teenage twins, and spends a
month in England every year. She is opinionated, very approachable, a little
shy, and loves what she does with her whole being. She is infamous for keeping
the Saturday filk at every convention she attends going until dawn and sometimes
beyond. Her discography would fill a full page but listed below are the main
recordings. * Songbird (Off-Centaur Productions) * On a Bright Wind
(Off-Centaur Productions) * Bamboo Wind (Off-Centaur Productions) Above albums
out-of-print * Plus Ca Change (Thor Records) * Plus C'est La Meme Choses (Thor Records)
Out-of-print on tape, re-released on CD (Imagecraft) * Made By Magic
(Dandelion Digital Recordings) Out-of-print * My Favorite Sings (Prometheus Music) Her
albums are available online from several sources including Amazon.com and in
many dealer's rooms as well. You can listen to her work at mp3.com by
searching for Kathy Mar or filk there. One of her songs has been played on the Dr.
Demento Show ("Calm Down") and she has appeared live on the radio as well.
