A comment was made of a style/form of music called 'Filking'...
I can recommend the folks at Off Centar [Which was the address given]
Off-Centar Publications
PO Box 424, El Cerrito, CA  94530  [1-415-528-3172]
These folks are also the new publishers of Kantle (the official
publication of The Filk Foundation).
The Foundation has had a slow start but it is attempting to catalog
the products of fandoms most unique art-form, SF Folk Singing.

Members also recieve supporting memberships to club sponsored
conventions...The next one is BayFilk 3 on March 7-9, 1986 in San Jose
Contact the folks at Off-Centar for more info...

Also, another group is the LA Filkers Anonymous, which meet each month
to discuss their problems and keep the neighbors awake (but entertained)
through the night...
They can be reached at LAFA, c/o Paul Willett, 16440 Tryon Street
Westminster, CA  92683  [1-714-842-8426]
Paul also put out a good Filk NewsZine entitled Philphenomenon [PFNEN]
