New Melody

catsittingstillYsabetwordsmith had a poetry fishbowl a day or two ago, and one of her unsold poems, Salt From A Dead Woman's Table, is now in microfunding (people can sponsor it a little at a time, so if you only have three or five bucks to spend, you can cause a few more lines to be revealed, without having to personally commit the kind of funds it would take to sponsor the whole thing.)
I bring it up because the piece takes the form of a ballad and yesterday a cool melody occurred to me for it. If it gets fully funded over at Ysabet's, I will record and post the melody here as a sort of bonus perk.
Also I will be anchoring the "Not Everybody Dies" (theme chosen in honor of Erica Neely, famed for her "ose" filk) theme circle Saturday night at Marcon (meaning in two days.) This song would be perfect for that. I have a somewhat edited version (old time ballad singers had lungs of iron and an audience with a longer attention span, making it advisable to cut to the chase a bit to adapt for a modern singer/audience) that just uses the current developments of the poem, but it would be nice to have the whole plot to play with.
