The sea...

[fajrdrako]

If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people together to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea. - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, 1900 - 1944

Now I'm hearing the song "St. Brendan's Fair Isle."

:)

This post reminds me of the song about the selkie's stepchild.

So what is "St Brendan's Fair Isle"? Ireland or Cape Breton?

Well, you asked.

[filkferengi]

It's neither, although the version I found does include a cool fiddle. The Bedlam Bards [http://www.bedlambards.com/] are a Texas-based RenFair band with an extensive repertoire of wonderful things. "Furious Fancies" is their more traditional album. "On The Drift" has music inspired by Firefly and Serenity. "Take Out The Trash" is an earthier album.

Continuing the theme of music inspired by Firefly, there's the delightful Tom Smith [http://www.tomsmithonline.com/]

"Done The Impossible" is a documentary about Firefly and the fans, with extensive interviews and a fabulous soundtrack [also available as a cd]. [Further details are here: http://www.amazon.com/Done-Impossible-Fans-Firefly-Serenity/dp/B000IJFJDG/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1199642992&sr=8-1
In this song, Michelle Dockrey takes the show's theme and expands on it.
