Wolfe in music?

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Yeah, like I said, prog and metal.  Speaking of which, though, does anyone
know what kind of music Gene himself likes to listen to?

Craig Brewer to Urth

Metal and folk don't often go hand in hand, do they? Or do they? I don't
know much about metal.
Sometimes, I think.  But they share medieval and ancient fantasy and myth
themes in common in their lyrics and imagery and even lifestyle often.
 (That was a hilarious description you gave of 'filk' by the bye.)

What kind of music does Wolfe mention in his books? I'm drawing a blank on

Whoah! That's weird, I'm drawing a blank too.  Surely there's mention of
music!  It feels like his Solar worlds are somehow resplendent with music,
song, and poetry - even if their never mentioned!  Is this another instance
of Wolfe's insanely powerful *implied/assumed* world-building?
