Leslie Fish
If there's one name that's practically synonymous with filk (Science Fiction fandom's own folk music), it's Leslie Fish. Leslie has written literally hundreds of songs covering almost every subject, from the space program ("Hope Eyrie"), to Star Trek ("Banned From Argo") to urban life, history, and space fantasy ("Carmen Miranda's Ghost"), as well as writing music for poems by authors from Rudyard Kipling on up to contemporary fantasy writers. Leslie is also a fine performer, guitarist, and storyteller.

Fans of Leslie Fish may remember Phoenyx — fronted by Heather Alexander — a magical Celtic Fusion band from 1989-1992.
They released one critically acclaimed album, featuring mythic and fantasy stories. And true to their name, the band vanished thereafter in flames.
After 30+ years of this album being unavailable (unless you had $500+ on eBay), we're pleased to share that you can now find this project in streaming and in a new CD print run!

For folks who loved Leslie's Carmen Miranda's Ghost album with the late Vic Tyler — we just released a posthumous project featuring 2 of his unfinished tracks. These were from the unfinished space shanty album we were making with him.
You can find them here: www.prometheus-music.com/product/one-last-battle/

The Firebird edition of Leslie's classic "Cold Iron" album has shown up on a filk preservation channel.
There were, as Mary Creasey recounts, 3 cassette editions of Cold Iron. This is the third, and final, cassette edition. It sounds... different from the others.

We got another performance of "Cold Iron" up, thanks to Scott Dorsey.
(This is from his "More Songs from Balticon" double CD project, available at: woksprint.com/shop/music/audiocds/filk-audio/confi… )

For anyone who missed it, we just uploaded about an hour of never-before-heard Leslie Fish tracks from LACon '96. These were recorded by Jeff Rogers, who was Off Centaur's engineer.

(These aren't "professionally" mastered recordings — it was just a chance for me to play with spectral noise removal!)
Some of these may show up on a future live Leslie album.
