Bio

This is my fourth FAWM! My claim to fame is being in the only person in the world to meet all the members of SugarKrew. wink

This year, I'm working part-time from home, so in theory that means far more FAWMing time. Though I still feel a little overwhelmed, my aim is to slow down and to write, and demo, with intent. I want to write songs that thrill me. I want every song I'm involved with to challenge me in some way, whether it's a new genre, sensitive hard to write lyrics, or something demo-wise. One particular goal is to address what I feel is a big weakness of mine and write some guitar-only songs that I could potentially play live.

Thanks for all the comment love, you guys. <3 I'd post thanks on all of your soundboards, except I think that time would be better spent commenting on your songs!

    Hey Deb! Thanks for stopping by my page and commenting on Waltz with a Waffle. (I didn't know a celebrity would be coming by or I would have cleaned up the place a bit in anticipation for your arrival!) I did hurry up and re-do the demo -- thanks for the encouragement. Can't wait to finish my recordings so I can listen to all of yours. Hugs.
  • Tim W 1 week ago
    Hi Deb,
    Just now saw your post on my FAWM page. Sorry I didn't get to it in time, would have been glad to share it.
    Good job on winning FAWM, as you can see I stalled out pretty early.
    Peace,
    Tim

    Thank you for your beautiful message, Debs. I've enjoyed listening to your songs and to your voice and it was a pleasure to comment smile

    Thanks for the comment. I wish I had skills on the piano, it's on my list to learn some day when I have enough space to have a keyboard of some sort around. Boogie thing, unfortunately, is a product of software and ingenuity, and not a product of piano skill. smile I've updated the description so as to hopefully avoid misleading anyone else!
  •  philkmills 1 week ago
    Thanks for the comment about "Bell Curve". I think I should update the liner notes now. smile
  •  rombiculus 1 week ago
    Holy Smokes, you're rockin!

    Thanks for telling me my link wasn't working.
    Having the hardest time with that this year.

    I think my Black Month Where should work now....

    Thanks again!
  •  kristian 1 week ago
    Thanks for your kind words on "The Game".. one of my favourite tracks of FAWM and my first collaboration effort ever! Needless to say, it inspired me to do more collabs and now I must admit I'm pretty addicted to doing them! big_smile
  •  Joe Kennedy 1 week ago
    Hi there! Permission granted to play any of my tunes on the FAWMcast!
  •  Roel van Veldt 1 week ago
    Hi Debs,

    I feel very honored by your proposal to agree to collab sometime. I would like nothing better! Do you have ideas? A duet perhaps? Though my voice can not remotely compare to yours. hmm

    Looking forward to it! big_smile

  •  John Crossman 1 week ago
    Oh Debs, you are certainly too kind. Glad you tuned in. Next time you'll have to make the trip down for the FOP.
  •  cts 1 week ago
    I don't like being played. big_smile Seriously, I wasn't sure how that works out...but sure, you can play me if you'd like.

    Debs! Could you do me a favour please? Could you change one of our collabs to a new collaborator? I wrote about it here:

    Pretty please? Thank you!
  •  Maeflower 3 weeks ago

  • negasi 3 weeks ago
    In Toronto I could get a ride from someone probably back to the greyhound and get back to brantford. the greyhound being in toronto of course
  • negasi 3 weeks ago
    My problem is getting back to bdot not getting to ancaster cause like you said someone could prob give me a ride from T.O to ancaster.
  • negasi 3 weeks ago
    I can get a ride to Devin's on Saturday from Toronto if I get a ride from T.O. My only thing is I don't have a way back to Brantford (cause it's the opposite way everyones going!)

  •  Halfpenny Orchestra 3 weeks ago
    Before today, we haven't been able to get together to record anything in two weeks... sad We're going to try and get out a few more Loteria songs from the list we gave ourselves, but I don't think we're going to have time for Boots of Leather. If you can get to it, great...but if you can get to your Loteria song, even better. We're pulling for you!
    --Bret
  • Whispered Candles 3 weeks ago
    I may have to write "All About My Boobs" now that the idea is in my head after reading your comment on Billy's song... haha
  •  Jocelyn 3 weeks ago
    I saw your comment on Billy Sea's All About My Boys and if you don't write All About My Boobs I will be highly disappointed.
  • negasi 3 weeks ago
    Congrats 14!

    Debs, try playing "Rains" now. I just played it and it worked ok. Might have been a glitch.
  •  Errol 3 weeks ago
    *LAUGH* That's GREAT! big_smile Your Toys song. big_smile I never knew you had all these insane VOICES! big_smile
  •  barbara 3 weeks ago
    Hi Debs! Thanks so much for your comment on "i need to walk away" lyrics. I really appreciate you checking me out, in the midst of the wild flurry! smile
  •  Scott Lake 3 weeks ago
    Debs, what did I win? I wish I won FAWM 2010 but I don't know if it's going to happen. Only 5 songs by the 16th (several lyric fragments and complete lyrics to songs, but I made a vow not to post until there was a demo). So, what does "technicolor yawn" win?
  • negasi 3 weeks ago
    I will try to record it tomorrow if I can get the tempo right.
  •  G Slade 3 weeks ago
    Check it,,, See if you like the remixed main vox on "Inspired" when you get a chance..I didn't care for the "dry" mix on my main vox, and I had some extra time at work, so I played around with some processing....lemme know what you think..the player has been updated with the new version. ... http://fawm.org/songs/2642/ thanks for your time,...i know it's valuable....especially to you! ha...
  • negasi 3 weeks ago
    I just listened to Riding A Walrus Into Battle again and it made me giggle xD
  •  cts 3 weeks ago
    So....did you get them ingredients from me? big_smile
  •  John Q 3 weeks ago
    I was able to add some harmonies while I was in fixing the guitar. I was thinking about doing rising and falling vox in there like you suggested, but my range is such that I can't do it without crossing the harmony lines (which, in Ghostbusters-speak, is kinda like "crossing the beams")! smile
  •  Errol 3 weeks ago
    I agree with Jocelyn, btw. big_smile
  •  Jocelyn 3 weeks ago
    Just for Errol: Debs! Quit ignoring Errol!

    Oh- for the boys song, Errol's going to sing in the style of me. AKA: Pop song in falsetto.
  •  Jocelyn 1 month ago
    I'm trying to just use HTML because I don't actually own the site and have no storage space on the server- therefore can't upload anything. Unfortunately the one thing I could find was buggy. I'm trying to figure how to get the entire site as HTML rather than the preloaded templates. hmm

    I'm sad I missed it but I'll probably be around for the 27th.
  •  Jocelyn 1 month ago
    Actually Monty's helping me. We're trying to figure out how to host on his site then just copy html onto mine... but Webs.com confuses me. o.o
    How was FAWMily Day?
  • negasi 1 month ago
    All I have to say is Lol! big_smile
  •  kermy 1 month ago
    in the comment field...on the song...let me know how you do! I wasn't sure where you wanted the verses - even with your message on my soundboard...so hopefully they are general enough that they will fit anywhere!

    have fun! k
  •  Helen 1 month ago
    The other thing on "If you were to let me in" wasn't a ukulele either. Guitar and mandolin.

  •  Jocelyn 1 month ago
    Hey Debs. smile
    I was looking at your site (and I love the new layout) and was wondering how do you get the little music players on the page? I'm currently using a Reverbnation player but the little things you have are what I was looking for. Having a website is totally new to me. o.o

    WTH, just saw your last song title....ok, coffee can wait, I will have to listen to the vomit song...hahaha (and THEN I'll get my first coffee for the morning) smile
  •  kermy 1 month ago
    Debs - I couldn't get to it last night - I wasn't feeling well and had to pack! I will write them in my travels today...and get them to you later today/tonight....sorry...
  • Cactus Joe 1 month ago
    It's hard to not collaborate. It makes the process so much easier. Strengths = music. Weakness = lyrics. Strength = rhymes. Strength = hooks. Thanks for the nice comments.

  •  Hammersmith 1 month ago
    I could probably do live drums for "Shining Through". You'd just have to get me an mp3 scratch track -- preferably locked to a known tempo. Let me know.
  • nightengale 1 month ago
    Thank you Debs for all your encouraging words. In my mind I can hear someone like Devin with strong vocals and really pretty harmony (your voice) on chorus on a song like this!
  •  John Crossman 1 month ago
    Yep. I'm sorry, I couldn't find anything wrong with it. wink I'm feelin' it.
  •  Michael Gutierrez-May 1 month ago
    Debs, looking forward to your morphing of the Rains song.
