  Beth, thanks for the too-kind words for Signs on the Crows. The title interpretation wasn't that hard for me, have at least half my family from Appalachian stock. I swear my mother had a superstition or a "sign" for everything. Thanks again for the comment.

  I'm putting up this blurb in the USA Northeast Forum and putting it as a message to all the Boston area folks I know here. Hopefully, a good turnout.
  
  Hey, Folks, come one and come all to the first ever and hopefully annual greater Boston area FAWM over party at Bloc 11 , 11 Bow Street, Union Square, Somerville this coming Sunday, March 25th at 6pm. If you have questions/comments, please leave a note for me at @mikegtz. Join @TimmyRiordan and @BethDeSombre and I there!

  Beth, we could look at the following weekend on the 25th. Would the Radio place work for you? I would hate to have you miss it also. I am away the following weekend of the 31st-1st.

•  nicksypniewski 2 months ago

  Beth, thanks very much for all the comments. They are much appreciated. I do want to get back over and listen to some more of your work, if I can just write lyrics for this one last track I've got... And yeah, weird capos are fun, although I haven't gone very far in playing around with it yet.
  
  Btw, comparing my 'cardboard' song to yours, lyrically, is like comparing hamburger to filet mignon. Both will feed you, but one (yours) is SOOOO much nicer to digest.

•  timmyriordan 2 months ago

  You're almost there Beth! I'll definitely keep you in mind for next year's "Bomb"

•  mikegtz 2 months ago

  Hi Beth from MGM in Weymouth. Hoping to do a FAWM over party in the Boston area, I will let you know more when I know more if you would like to come. Welcome, welcome.

•  shadywilbury 2 months ago

  Hey, Beth.
  
  I'll get the chords to you ASAP - probably tomorrow. Have to write them out.
  
  Best,

  Well Beth, Make these poor little Fuzzy Chickens a melody then!!
  Otherwise they never be a melody in their fuzzy little lives!!
  I suppose I could make 'em some kind of a melody but after listening to "Your" chicken melody I'm afraid mine would pale in comparison

•  debs 2 months ago

  Care to take a crack at Morph4 now?

•  wyatt 2 months ago

  There probably won't "Be" any melody for Fuzzy Chickens Beth

•  timmyriordan 2 months ago

  Thanks for the comment Beth I actually lifted the time edits as much as it records from "Double Take" a quirky little film juxtaposing Hitchcock, the run up to the cuban missile crisis and 1950's/60's coffee commercials. Think it might actually come from a Borges short story part of the film was based on.

•  errol 2 months ago

  Allooo! I think I played... oh my goodness, I forgot now. Good grief... my head is a completely rattled this february. I will put it up on the wiki soon enough.

•  errol 2 months ago

  Hi Beth DeSombre! I hope to you play your song on the fawmcast tonight!

•  wyatt 3 months ago

  Thanks again on Roll That Trestle.
  I wasn't real happy with the C but time is short o FAWM
  I LIKED the c. It just felt like something wasn't quite right
  If I was actually going to do anything with the song I'd probably do about 20 takes on it and maybe change a word here and there

•  wyatt 3 months ago

  Hi Beth,
  On Trestle, I got a vocal up but I didn't get it done just right. It plays for me. Hopefully it eill for everybody

•  wyatt 3 months ago

  Thanks on Roll That Trestle
  I will make a determined effort to get up a vocal tomorrow. Even after Jen walked me through Lovin' Up The
  Dawn, I was an hour and a half today getting something up on Anadama Bread (it also involved several bad words

• randyxpher 3 months ago

  Thanks, Beth, and I'm very glad to hear your Sophie has come through well. Long life to her!
  
  Ours had a good life, and didn't suffer much at the end. I'm still sad, but remembering the good times and feeling lucky to have known her.
  
  Anyway, I will definitely be listening to more of your songs when I get a chance.

  Welcome to FAWMland!!
  After the Taus recommendation I went and listened to the first song I saw..
  Yep, I was impressed. Very good!!
  It seemed to me that it had a Celtic lilt to but maybe that';s just the Folk
