The web site the link takes you to is Kristine Kathryn Rusch's blog and this post explains everything about the song and starts with a link that plays the song.
The blog even has the words in case you can't quite catch all the words or SF references.

Filksinging?

That was a wonderful song. I had goosebumps listening to it. I went to Janis Ian's site and got the studio version, too, although I like the original slightly better. It's on my playlist now.
Robert, filksinging is like folksinging for sci-fi fans. Like fanfics but with song.

"Filksinging" is a typo that caught on and stuck.

Totally awesome! Thanks for sharing, LDWriter2.
Read the comments, too, and among them Janis Ian decodes the lyrics for those who want to know all the references.

I'm familiar with the notion, but I've never actually heard any.

FYI - My firewall didn't like that page.

You're welcome to all.
I tried to figure out all of the references but I missed a few and caught one or two during the third time I listened to it.
aspirit, you might try going to her web site and see if if your firewall likes her better.

I'll play it safe and accept that I've missed out on yet another fun page. Malware already gives me enough headaches. Thanks, though.
