+Song</a>.</p>
<p>I wrote the free software song at a <a href="#filksinging">
filksinging</a> session at a science fiction convention, probably in
-early 1991. It was a "bardic circle" session, which means each person
-in turn around the hall had the chance to either sing or ask someone
-else to sing. I had just had my turn, and there were 20 or more
-people there, so I knew it would be a long time before I had another
-turn. I decided to pass the time writing a filksong. This meant I
-was not starting with any particular inspiration in mind. I had to
-look for what to write about and how.</p>

+had to look for what to write about and how.</p>
<p>So first I asked myself, what topic should it be about? I realized
I had never written a filksong relating to free software, so I figured
it was time I did.</p>
-<p>Then I asked myself, what tune should I use? I realized I had never
-written a filksong using Bulgarian dance music, so I figured that
-would be a good thing to do for once. I chose Sadi Moma because it is
-not too fast or complicated, and is easy to sing.</p>

<p>By the time it was my turn again, the song was ready. After I sang
-it, someone else in the room said, "That has an anthem-like quality.
-You should show it to Richard Stallman." (That year was the time I
-was a little famous and I was a guest at the convention.)</p>

interesting or funny. Some of the people who sing these songs also
write some. Many of these songs put new words to existing tunes, and
such a song is called a “filk” of the original song.
-Thus, the free software song is a filk of Sadi Moma.</p>
