a singer-songwriter who is currently living, loves some people, and expects at some point to die. She hopes her music will appeal to those with similar experiences.

I shared some of her music (via iTunes — I haven't worked any of it up yet, although I will soon) at Boskone — about which more later. She's a sophisticated lyric-smith who writes really deep but totally accessible songs about life. And, while it's not new, there's a wonderful story about how I met her...

It was at a Swarthmore alumni weekend, I think. We were having a roundsing in the Meetinghouse, when some people who were having a birthday party in another room in the Meetinghouse overheard us and came in to find out what was going on. The birthday person was a Mrs. Mulford, one of the pillars of Swarthmore Meeting, and her adult daughter Zoe, a singer-songwriter, was there to celebrate and perform.

We sang the birthday round, and mingled a little with the other group at their invitation, and I talked a bit with Zoe, and mentioned my own songwriting. And she, hearing my description, dropped the word "filk". I don't think she's ever been to a filk event, but she expressed some interest. She's in Rockville, MD, so the next time the FNEFC is Contata...

I think you mean Conterpoint...Contata is the NY incarnation. And we'll be running a Conterpoint in 2007, probably at the same Rockville hotel we've been using.

For that matter, she'd be welcome at any local housefilk too.
