Filk Music

I have some old tapes of Filk Artists from the 80's, and I'd love to be able to find CD's of their work.  
I am especially interested in finding the words to these songs.  
If you can help me find these artists today, please email me.  

Got an email from T.J. Burnside Clapp on September 8th, 2006!

Go, Traveller
As you take wing,
My heart remembers
Dreaming of the stars.

Within my soul once lived
Whole worlds of strange
And living things
And stars that lit the
Fires of hope.

O tomorrow,
Carry life into my dreams
Safely bring this
Traveller home
To distant stars and worlds.

In life we die;
In dreams we fly;
In flight we grow;
To learn, we go.
