I was on the way home from the booksale yesterday, and getting caught up on Filkcast [a wonderful filk podcast, that comes out every 2 weeks]. During this episode [http://filkcast.blogspot.com/2019/07/filkcast-episode-19-july-17-2019.html ], they played a delightful song called "The Last Page."

It's on Sunnie Larsen's new album [https://sunnielarsen.bandcamp.com/track/the-last-page ], so I assumed she wrote it. But, upon looking it up, I find it was written by [personal profile] yam , a major Bujold fan. It's reasonable to infer that Bujold books were at least at the top of her list.

It wonderfully encapsulates that feeling of meeting "your" characters for the first time.

And, the music's ridiculously gorgeous, so everyone wins!

_Mindtouch_ by M.C.A. Hogarth is on sale for .99:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DFL379M and
https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/mindtouch-mca-hogarth/1115695811

This book is the first in the Dreamhealers duology, and was my introduction to Hogarth's work. The world-building's excellent, and it's one of the kindest, most fun books I've ever read [and reread many times].

There'll never be a better time to check it out.

A friend sent me a lovely e-card and wish this morning. The art reminded me a bit of Marguerite de Angeli's _Door In The Wall_ [which won the Newbery]. I highly recommend all her books. The music reminded me of "Julian Of Norwich" by Sydney Carter [who wrote "Lord Of The Dance"]: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=julian+of+norwich+sydney+carter+ The hope is appropriate for the day.

Happy New Year, one and all!

Marc Gunn, aka the Celtfather, one of the hardest-working musicians I know, who promotes other bands as much as [if not more than] his own, has released a free [set your own price] compilation over on bandcamp. It's a great sampler of his range of style and subject-matter.

Check it out!
