All well deserved! I'm especially pleased by Howard's induction. He's been a presence at filks and a great supporter of filking for as long as I can remember.

So any word as to who asked for Lady Mondegreen's "Why I Haven't Got a Boat" at the ceremony?

I believe that was one of Ellen's requests.

Well done, all! Congratulations!

Congrats to all. Do you have a website for Ellen Kranzer or Howard Scrimjeour? I haven't heard of them and would like to hear their music.

Ellen and Howard do covers, to keep good filks alive and performed in areas where they might not otherwise be heard. They are both inducted more for their long volunteer service to the filk community, though both do sing and Howard has recently started doing more concerts, including his Interfilk concert at GAfilk.

Check out http://www.filkontario.ca/hof/hofmain.html for info on the award, and do follow the link for This is My Tribe. The new citations are not yet posted but probably will be by later this week.

Howard Scrimgeour doesn't have a website but he can be found at a number of conventions.
