Hey, wanna hear me sing?
This page also currently in flux, as I create my website (while U watch!).
More detail later, but for now, here are the first links, with brief explanations:

Lyrics by Laurie J. Marks, tweaked and set to music by me, and sung by me.
Laurie’s the author of the Elemental Logics series, and for the third volume, Water Logic, an early draft included a poem. This was to be the song that people in her imagined society would sing in later days about some of the events in the book.
Laurie ended up not using the poem, but I liked it so much that I wanted to be the one to set it to music. Here’s what Laurie says about it.
And from the old Fast Folk Musical Magazine (Vol. 3, No. 1)
(MP3 download from Amazon, $0.99 for the one song.)
Q:Why does the artist info for Baffin Bay say that it’s by Judith Zweiman?
A: Beats me. If you held the LP in your hand, you’d see that it says “Rosemary Kirstein”; Judith Zweiman is the person you hear singing backup and, if memory serves, playing bass.
Might have something to do with the fact that there are so many people on the album (all the “various artists”) that Amazon didn’t bother to see who wrote what, but just grabbed the first name they could spot for each track. Some of the other tracks are also mislabeled.
Anyway, Judy is wonderful, and her song “Heart on Ice” is correctly labeled on the same page as “Baffin Bay”. So, why not buy that, too?
