Close Your Eyes: an anti-lullaby

This cartoon was inspired by Daniel Glasser's wonderful "Close Your Eyes" song. You can listen to it here (streaming Daniel Glasser version) or here (Dandelion Wine version, you'll need to register to download the file). Here are the lyrics or you can download this PDF file with chords.

This is DEFINITELY not a lullaby for children! When performing this song, Daniel is also very good at noticing which people in the audience are hearing it for the first time, and focusing his "menace" on them. :-D Here's Daniel's story behind the song, which includes a link to an MP3 file.

I'm starting a new Flickr set of drawings inspired by songs. I figure this'll be a fun way to introduce some of you to filk. In each case, I will post a link to the lyrics and (if available) to a soundfile in the comments section for that image.

Will Write For Chocolate has been updated. Column topic: "Online Tools For Writers (Part 2)." Thanks again to Rand for his inspiration this strip, and also to Joey Shoji for the Gran Couva (see column).

I am sooooooooooo happy that spring seems to have finally arrived in Toronto. Has anyone seen the "Spring Break" episode in Northern Exposure? Some days I can really identify with that end-of-winter stir craziness. Check out the spring flowers in our garden:



And here are some fun links from friends:

Natalie Portman, Gangsta Rapper (from Ray). Speaking of Natalie Portman, Jeff and I both saw and enjoyed "V for Vendetta." So Natalie Portman CAN act!
