Three people smile and hug while in a conference room. A woman with long dark hair and glasses leans over from behind, embracing a woman with long gray hair and a man wearing glasses and a cowboy hat.
Heartbroken by the passing of my friend Tom Jeffers, one half of @bardsong.bsky.social. Tom moved to Toronto yrs ago to marry the love of his life. 💔 Listening to mutual friend @angrykem.bsky.social's musical tribute.
The #Filking music community has lost one of its best.

Did you know that my friend @angrykem.bsky.social posts a musical improv every day? If you're looking for a mellow daily #Uplift, I recommend following Kari.
I also recommend her award-winning fantasy adventure WEAVE A CIRCLE ROUND (⭐ Kirkus review!) w/ @torbooks.bsky.social. #KidLit #Filking

This is my favourite kind of open jam, where there isn't a pressure to be a star performer. It's one reason I love the #filking community so much.

Five people sit around a circular table playing a tabletop game at a convention. Various game components, including cards and black-and-white tokens, are on the table. A Diet Coke can, a white coffee cup, and personal items are also visible. The group is smiling and seated in a carpeted room with framed artwork and neutral walls.
Three people are seated at a round table playing the card game L.L.A.M.A. at a convention. Game boxes, cards, black tokens, and other game components are spread out in front of them. Other attendees are seen in the background eating and chatting. The room has large windows with light curtains and a long table with food and drink items in the back.
Love it when my worlds collide. My friends Jen & Eric Distad @faithfulsidekicks.bsky.social are not only talented songwriters & filkers but they're also avid board gamers! They were teaching games at #FilKONtario last wknd.

I should clarify about my #Filking obsession: I like the musical collab aspect of filk music, just jamming with others in music circles without worrying about making mistakes.

My Canadian 🇨🇦 friend @lesliehudson.bsky.social made the very difficult but understandable decision to cancel their U.S. tour dates. 🎵😢
I encourage you to listen to Leslie's music on Bandcamp & consider buying a track or an album? lesliehudson.bandcamp.com

A folded program booklet and song sheet rest on a wooden surface in bright sunlight. The left page is a flyer for FilKONtario 2026, listing featured guests Mikey Mason, Tanya Huff, and Griff the Filker, with event details and pricing. The right page, printed on blue paper, displays the lyrics to "Home to FilKONtario," written by Debbie Ridpath Ohi.
Heart so full. Attending #FilKONtario always feels like coming home for me. The #filking community encouraged me early on when I was HUGELY insecure/shy, helped me come out of my shell.
Honoured to have my song "Home To FilKONtario" used as the closing song every year. ❤️🎵

Another highlight from #FilKONtario: hearing my friend Dave Clement sing Stan Rogers again. Thanks to my friends Tom & Sue aka @bardsong.bsky.social for their hotel room hospitality & for sharing their music, too! 🎵

Any other #BoardGaming types create house rules sometimes when playing boardgames?
A musical highlight from #FilkONTario: Rhiannon's Lark concert! I strongly recommend listening to "House Rules" (mentions @boardgamegeek.com, too!)

Just came back from #FilKONtario. SO great to see filker friends again, plus make some new friends! One highlight: seeing @solcita.sunnie.org cover my song "Homecoming" (based on a Ray Bradbury short story) in her concert! I cried, of course.

I've been loving @angrykem.bsky.social's daily musical improvisations and sometimes doodle while listening. I decided to video my recent doodle session - thanks to my pal Kari (whose writing I also adore) for letting me add my art to one of her recent videos! #CreativeCollab #KidLit #Filking #Uplift

Finally got some rest after #LTUE. Didn't have as many new faces at #filking as I'd hoped, but was fun nevertheless :). The panels were also great - have some forward direction for another element of a fanfiction I will probably not take the time to write :).

#filking at #LTUE in 2 days... super excited! Also, the site isn't ready, but it's in a functional state, so that'll probably have to do.

I mentioned how the #filking community helped me get over my terror of being in the limelight. Thanks to E.Goldberg, R.Weiss & #VintageFilkPreservation for this footage of a 1994 concert w/me, @allisondurno.bsky.social & Jodi Krangle. I was SUPER-nervous throughout:

All of the songwriters and musicians I've mentioned today are friends I've met through the #filking community.
What I love most about this community: acceptance of different types of lifestyles, emphasis on joy of sharing music & community over talent level, creative collaboration.

A dedication page and the cover of Ruby Rose, Big Bravos by Rob Sanders, illustrated by Debbie Ridpath Ohi. The dedication includes two messages: one thanking mentors, and another thanking the "filk music community, especially Allison and Jodi, for helping me find my place onstage." A pink heart is drawn near the second dedication. The book cover shows Ruby Rose, a young girl with curly hair, wearing a tutu and fairy wings, dancing with a small dog in a similar outfit.
At #scbwiNY25, I told wkshop attendees how I used to be TERRIFIED of being in the limelight, but took tiny steps out of my comfort zone, incl. speaking in front of friendly groups. I'll always be grateful to the #filking community (esp @allisondurno.bsky.social & Jodi Krangle) for helping me. ❤️

Any other hobby musicians out there? Here's a short video clip of me playing flute w/ @randookla.bsky.social @allisondurno.bsky.social & other #filking pals. You can hear the original 1997 recording (w/my flute!) from Ookla The Mok's LESS THAN ART album here: ooklathemok.bandcamp.com/track/still-...

Any other songwriters out there? I write & co-write songs as a hobby, mainly because I love doing musical collabs with my #filking pals. I was *thrilled* when my friend @solcita.sunnie.org covered a song I wrote based on a Ray Bradbury short story:

To musicians & #filking pals out there who use digital sheet music services: Which one(s) do you recommend? I do some musical composition so notation features would be a bonus BUT I am mainly researching where to (legally) purchase sheet music.
Main contenders for me so far: forScore, MuseScore.

A composite image featuring a book dedication and the cover of Ruby Rose, Big Bravos by Rob Sanders and illustrated by Debbie Ridpath Ohi. The dedication highlights gratitude to friends and the "filk music community," with special thanks to Allison and Jodi for helping the illustrator find her place onstage. The book cover shows a whimsical illustration of Ruby Rose, a young girl dressed in a tutu and wing costume, performing alongside a floppy-eared dog.
Updated my Filk Community resource page (still bare, hoping more filkers created resources here 🤞🏼) to include my dedication to the community in RUBY ROSE, BIG BRAVOS (HarperCollins) written by Rob Sanders, illus by me.

A man and a woman on a couch in a livingroom, surrounded by musical instruments. The man is playing a guitar and the woman is singing.
A smiling woman standing beside a table of books, art, and posters, pointing to a Congrats balloon.
A smiling woman peering around a room corner, pointing to three drawings on the wall showing cartoon figures of monster squirrels, some with the handwritten message "Beware The Squirrel."
Thanks to my friends Sue & Tom (aka @bardsong.bsky.social) for the fun house filk last night! Wonderful music, catching up w/friends. I even dusted off my flute & noodled a bit. 🎵 Plus a sweet CONGRATS display celebrating my #IWantToReadALLTheBooks launch! ❤️ Plus my evil squirrel art. 😆 #filking

One way I'm using Bluesky that's different from the Other Place; I don't have separate accts for diff interests. Here, I just have ONE acct for all my interests (not just #kidlit but also #boardgaming #filking #VR #hotbeverages etc). I seek out others who post re: personal interests, not just work.
