Tom Jeffers HoF

Tom Jeffers has been filking for over a quarter of a century, primarily as the cute one of the group Dandelion Wine, but more recently as half of the new duo Stone Dragons with his wife Sue.  Tom has also recorded a new Dandelion Wine CD, The Face on Mars, in his home studio in Toronto and is currently working on the Stone Dragons debut CD.

Tom wrote Gone Filkin’ (to the tune of Gone Fishin’ by Canadian singer-songwriter Bill Bourne) in 1995 on a plane to OVFF.  He wanted to express his love of filking and the filk community, and to pay respect to the friends who had inspired and entertained him over the years. This song varies from con to con, and changes depending on the audience and Tom’s latest inspiration, but the sing-along chorus remains the same. It can be found on the latest Dandelion Wine CD The Face on Mars.   

Tom is delighted to be nominated for a Pegasus!  Don’t you just wanna go Filkin!
