This is the working directory for the Tres Gique concert on the Friday of Baycon, 2008. The concert was recorded using a Zoom H2, positioned way too far back in the audience and too close to the door, so some parts have excessive background noise.
For this concert, Tres Gique consisted of Steve (vocals and guitar, as usual), Joyce (vocals), Callie (vocals, flutes, whistle, recorder), Jordan (drum), and Kat (vocals). A full house.
| 1 | [ogg] | [mp3] | Rocket Rider's Prayer (Savitzky) |
| 2 | [ogg] | [mp3] | High Barratry (Savitzky/Trad.) |
| I've taken to putting the explanation of "barratry" after the first verse, with guitar underneath it. | |||
| 3 | [ogg] | [mp3] | The World Inside the Crystal (Savitzky) |
| My first serious computer song. You can always tell the programmers in the audience. They've been there, and they know. | |||
| 4 | [ogg] | [mp3] | The River (Savitzky) |
| My most recent song; I managed to finish it in time to record and burn a copy in time for Valentine's Day, 2008. With hours to spare. | |||
| 5 | [ogg] | [mp3] | The Merry Man and his Maid (Gilbert/Sullivan) |
| My favorite G&S duet, from my favorite G&S operetta, "Yeomen of the Guard". The TG arrangement differs somewhat from the original. | |||
| 6 | [ogg] | [mp3] | The Toolmakers (Savitzky) |
| An older song I've been reviving recently, by popular demand. Kat's favorite. | |||
| 7 | [ogg] | [mp3] | Ferret Went A-Courtin' (Savitzky/Trad.) |
| Written for Kat's wedding at Consonance; performed these days with a couple of tenses changed, and re-arranged as a duet. Surprise. | |||
| 8 | [ogg] | [mp3] | The Owl and the Pussycat (Lear/Trad.) |
| Poem by the 19th Century humorist Edward Lear, set by Oak, Ash, and Thorn to the tune of "Farewell Sweet Lovely Nancy". | |||
| 9 | [ogg] | [mp3] | Cryptographer's Anthem (Savitzky/Trad.) |
| Callie has the range to sing this one as a solo. Yay! | |||
| 10 | [ogg] | [mp3] | The Little Computing Machine (Savitzky/Trad.) |
| A song of seduction, obsession, and madness. Written while listening to Golden Bough singing "The Black Velvet Band" and wishing I could afford an Apple ][. | |||
| 11 | [ogg] | [mp3] | The Programmer's Alphabet (Savitzky/Trad.) |
| My first computer song, based on various sailors' alphabets. | |||
| 12 | [ogg] | [mp3] | The Rambling Silver Rose (Savitzky) |
| Very loosely inspired by Cindy McQuillin's songs of spaceships, spaceport bars, and hard-drinking, independent-minded women. | |||
| 13 | [ogg] | [mp3] | The Stuff that Dreams are Made Of (Savitzky) |
| I wrote this for my father a few months before he died; he went to grad school with Isaac Asimov, and introduced me to folk music, computers and science fiction. | |||
| 14 | [ogg] | [mp3] | Keep the Dream Alive (Savitzky) |
| Written in 1986 shortly after the Challenger blew up on takeoff. Revised, unfortunately, for Columbia in 2003. | |||
| 15 | [ogg] | [mp3] | Ship of Stone (Simpson) |
| In my opinion the best filksong ever written. I get to say that because Don Simpson wrote it, not me. If one of the songs we're singing now is still being sung a thousand years from now, it will probably be this one. |
