I've come to the conclusion that I very much enjoy filk music. For anyone who does not know what it is, well, filk music ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filk_music ) is a basically genre of folk music (but not limited to folk) entailing science fiction or fantasy themes and is often humorous, whimsical, imaginative, or even instructive. There is often a very developed meaning incorporated into the individual pieces of music which is delivered in a figurative way within the context of the genre but having a wider destination determined for it.
The type of music is very appealing to a listenership who is thoughtful, imaginative, and endowed with a fine sense of humor. I enjoy it as a pleasant change from the usual musical forms of which are more often of late an exercise in listening to the same old thing but in a slightly different flavor.
