Julia Ecklar was the special filk guest at Tropicon 8, held in Dania,
Florida, in 1989.

This recording captures the second part of an open filk at the
convention, and includes 11 songs (of which Julia sings seven).

The singers in order of appearance are: Julia Ecklar, Linda Melnick,
Dina Pearlman, C.J. Cherryh, Francine Mullen, and Doug Wu.

This includes much of the conversation between songs, the laughter and
the real feel of a 1980s convention filk session.

One lovely addition is that Linda Melnick signs on one of the songs, as
well as sings.

Another bonus - this video includes several songs by Orion's Belt, which
consisted of Dina Pearlman, Francine Mullen and Doug Wu.

Tropicon was a small convention, and you will see some of the author
guests in the filk. That's Tropicon 8 GoH Lynn Abbey sitting next to
C.J. Cherryh for example, and Joe Green sitting back against the wall...

Thanks to Eli Goldberg for sound editing on this recording and for the
details in the song listing.
