This is a one-time mix CD trade with mle292, for her mix CD with internet/technology songs. While it's conceivable others may want to trade with the same mix, I usually just make a more person-specific mix with slightly different songs. As it was, I had to leave out The Nick Atoms, Steve Brust and The Flash Girls to name but a few. Basically, I'm bragging on LJ rather than sending her an e-mail, in part to shame others into getting their CDs ready by the con encourage the exchange of music for Marscon. Much of my impresario angst is that many of the songs that actually mention "Minnesota" are not my favorites. Should I include, say, Lojo's "Last Time I Saw California" about leaving MN for CA or "I Wanna Be A Powerpuff Girl"? I like the latter a whole bunch. (So does my five-year-old niece.)
Warren was never very active, but he hung around meetings for a couple of years; he's in at least one of my pictures of the meetings of that era. Heck, you even wrote a song about him.
The chorus, which you sing with Jane, is:
I still believe in fairy tales and in dreams come true. Don't you know I care enough to say goodbye to you.
Does this spur your memory?
It doesn't surprise me that our tastes in Bill Staines overlap a great deal and then diverge near the top. My favorite of his is "A Place In The Choir", of which I have two versions. For a while I thought one of them was recorded in Mpls, but alas it wasn't so I couldn't shoehorn it into this compilation. I'm pleased that you're pleased with the association!
