I've put a draft of Tomorrow's Songs Today, Apendix D (online filk
events) as a Google Doc. I'd appreciate it if people would look it over
and comment on anything wrong or missing.

Will your still be asking people to look at your draft in a month?
If so, I'll publish this email as a filler in that Xeno.

That would drag things out too much, but thanks.

Just now seeing this, Gary. Here's the music-related info for the online events that were held in lieu of Confluence in 2020 and 2021.

C'monfluence (2020)
Because the online literary programming took longer to organize than the music programming, this was divided into "C'monfluence the Musical" (the music track, held on July 24-26, 2020) and "C'monfluence the Novelization" (the literary track, held on Oct. 2-4. 2020).

This was the schedule for C'monfluence the Musical, conducted entirely on Zoom, shown in Eastern time:

6 to 6:30 p.m.: Live concert by Alyssa Yeager
6:30 to 7 p.m.: Prerecorded concert by Crab Sound
7 to 8 p.m.: Live concert by Bill and Brenda Sutton
8 to 9 p.m. Live concert by Tim Griffin
9 p.m. to ??? a.m.: Open filk

Saturday July 25
12 to 1 p.m.: Live concert by Sara Henya

Zoom links were distributed over email, but this turned into a logistical nightmare. Many people didn't receive the emails in a timely manner or at all and were unable to connect.

C'monfluence the Novelization featured mostly literary programming, but there was also online filking all three nights and a live concert by Madison "Metricula" Roberts from 6 to 6:50 p.m. on Sat. Oct. 3.

C'mon-2-ence (2021)

To overcome the difficulties that plagued C'monfluence the Musical in 2020, the Zoom links were shared on social media. However, this contributed to a Zoombomber attack that partially disrupted Don Neill's and The Gothsicles' concerts on Sunday afternoon.

Thanks, Randy. I have to put some limits on the appendices, though, and
listing general conventions that had online filk programs would be
pushing the envelope a little too much.

I'm glad those events were available online, regardless.
