Howdy,

This is my second year with FAWM and I am really looking forward to the exercise. Participating last yearreally helped open up my subject pallet and taught me not to be so precious with my ideas. There is a balance between craft and inspiration, if you hold on to an idea too long tinkering until it is "perfect", well that never happens and you just end up with a big back catalog of half finished songs.

This last year my wife and I had a baby, and I became a stay-at-home dad. So, while I don't know that I will have the time to record every song well I will at least post a little demo or something.

I took the songs I wrote last year and put an album together called "Every Other Day". (www.brianedwardbailey.com). This year I plan on taking the best 7 of them and making an EP.

Drop a line. I hope to meet and discuss the craft of songwriting with many new peers this month.
