khaosworksHere's a nice little e-mail to wake up to:
It starts about halfway down the file, after they do a "Happy Birthday" to Cthulhu and a rendition of "It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Fish-Men" (from the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society's "A Very Scary Solstice", on which more professional versions — i.e. not me — of my "Cthulhu Christmas Chorale" can be found). The sing-a-long of "Do You Hear the Pipes Cthulhu" gets off on a shaky start but they really get into it in the end, and is followed by an abortive version of "That's Cthulhu!" (I don't think they knew the tune for the bridge) and ends with "The Song That Cannot Be Named".
Gives me a warm fuzzy feeling of course, hearing other people do my songs — especially since it's for a 25th anniversary celebration of Call of Cthulhu, the game that got me into Lovecraft in the first place and therefore was ultimately responsible for my filk — full circle, indeed. To quote Charles Fort, whose work also inspired Lovecraft: "One measures a circle, beginning anywhere."
