Why always prefab music? At Tentacles there are usually one or two acoustic guitars available. I think that with a modicum of preparation an Unplugged session with the SingalongaNick Choir should be possible. Give or take a few years, and a CD "Glorantha - The Filk" might be available.

On a variant note - has anybody ever though about combining the pleasant music from King of Dragon Pass with vocals?

Expecting the Backstreet Broos and Take Thed, then...
