Rimini – Leslie Fish
“Rimini,” a marching song for the Roman legions, words by Rudyard Kipling, tune by Leslie Fish.
I spent a while messing with Riffstation to try and figure out the chords for this, and it worked…alright. What I came up with may not be exact, but it works. Try substituting fifths and nearby minor chords if anything doesn’t sound right to you. I believe Fish has it capoed up four frets; anyway, this is the easiest key I found.

The Darkness Soon
I used to write and sing filks for a group in Israel, but I haven’t been involved in the community for many years. The songs I’ve written since then have languished without an audience; this one in particular, based on Order of the Stick, is the one I most regret never having had the chance to perform.

Ravens in the Library – S. J. Tucker
My friend bids me come and see
the ravens in the library
setting quiet pages free.
“Ravens in the Library,” by S. J. Tucker. It’s just about what it says on the tin, but what it says on the tin is pretty neat.
