A Happy Announcement
Aug. 12th, 2014 01:55 pmThe Pegasus website went live as of 50 minutes ago, so I am happy to announce that my song "Outward Bound" has been nominated for a Pegasus Award in the "Best Song Of Passage" category. I am very pleased to see both long time filkers and new faces on the ballot, and honored to be included among their number!
I encourage you to check out the website; there are many fine songs, songwriters, and performers listed here. I know I will have a hard time choosing. Each song is represented by its lyrics page and a short mp3; usually one verse and one chorus of the song, so you can hear how the melody goes. It is worth your time to read and listen to them all, even if you have to come back a few times to find time for it all.
Once you have made up your mind you can vote at OVFF (There will be a Pegasus Concert where all the songs will be played, and all the Best Performer nominees who can attend will be playing) or or use this handy online ballot. Everyone in the filk community is eligible to vote, whether you can make it to OVFF or not.
