Bio

I was born at a very young age.

I turn 33 during this FAWM and I'd love to say that I finally met the 14-song goal as a birthday prezzie to myself but if all the other years are any indication, I'd better prepare for a let down.
I've been doing FAWM since the 2nd year when there was only a few of us here and I think in all of the years combined I've not made it to 14 songs....but at least I have songs that I didn't have before.

This is superb work!
It really does shine out. Well crafted and brilliantly executed.
All your words resonate with me.
The YouTube playlist is astonishing, i listened to one after the other...
ambitious and daring. The view count is a joke right?
All your work deserves much wider recognition or there's something seriously wrong with this world.
I was doing something very similar to the 'Piano Re-purposed' project last year...so many pianos going to landfill.

I'm not on Spotify ... any other link for your song?

You're so musically talented that it would be great to hear you record something in a really good studio. Let me know if you're ever coming to Ireland and I'll arrange something!

Thank you for your comments on Joplin. I like your production ideas. The problem is I don't put much time into that. I spend about 30 minutes recording a song, if that, and it shows! I loved the vision of flood swept swimming dogs going through my head when I clicked the The Lonesome Valley link. I'm a big fan of both songs you mentioned. I see you have a zong. I'll check it out!

What you're here? And you make songs my friend? You never got back to me on the twit. I'll see if I can find someone to lay beside you while you sleep.

Daniel, thank you for commenting on my one song. Glad you enjoyed it. I should get a second one recorded soon called Joplin.

I believe I recall your unexpected relocation coming up in the blogoshpere. I'm sorry to hear that this has impacted your fawmability this year. (Wow, those two sentences sound like the start of a song!) I do have a piano piece started called Free that I bet you could improve upon with a collaboration if there is interest and you think you would have time to "finish" something. Settle quickly and get us some music.

Hey Old Adam, I still have your tunes from last year. Just a nudge of encouragement here to add to that limited selection! I'm off to a very slow start myself.

Thanks! I think my theme this year will be 'strange stuff', since I've already done one on that...
