I'm the person who asked the question at Norwescon, and I hope I didn't come across as "Wow, are you a dinosaur or something?" because that certainly wasn't my intention. My thought was, "I want to give you money! Why can't I give you all my money for all the things?!" I had never thought of it from the economic standpoint, the cost of printing the CDs, the rights for the cover tunes (I hadn't even realized that there were several covers on the CDs because . . . I didn't have them until the con). I really appreciated your detailed-yet-concise response at the con.
I'm digging the CDs, and have even been inflicting them on my grudgingly-appreciative non-filker wife. I haven't been to Norwescon in six or seven years, despite living only about 20 miles away, but had to go when I saw that both you and Heather Dale would be there. Thanks for coming up here and giving such great performances. Your Q&A had me in tears of laughter (and post-pneumonia coughing fits) all the way through. I hope that I will be able to see you perform live again some time.
(And squee! I just got my book group to choose Rosemary and Rue as our May book - we read War for the Oaks a few years ago, and I said, "Hey, how about we see where urban fantasy has gone these days?")
