Hiya, thanks for the comment on 'Morn' - you make a good point about oratory readings giving an extra dimension to even mediocre works. Can't believe I overlooked performance on the poetry side...well done for pulling me up on that!

I do my best to achieve the level of genius, but I'm not so evil! At worst I'm well-intentioned extremist! (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WellIntentionedExtremist) But my campaign is mostly limited to be against pineapple. Other fruits may be pure or they may bear the taint, but Pineapple is the source of all taint.

If my arrival to States does happen, it will happen at the next January, so be prepared!

EM...thx for comment on It Wasn't Me. Means a lot coming from you!
If time permits, check out what Becca did with my lyrics to Temple of Solace.
I would love for you to hear it. Imagery-wise, possibly my best song...and done in a flash!

My computer actually came without a WP too, though the computer lab I got it free from (for a computer building class) had MS Office 2003. I use OpenOffice as a backup.

As for the equipment failure, I suspect it was a built-in fail. I made a search and found lots of complaints about my model of USB mixer adding unwanted delays. At least I've got time to find a solution before 50/90...

bradbrubaker 2 months ago

Thanks for the comments and compliment of the song titles. Lately, my thinking is "Which of this song's potential titles will make the passer-by want to click on it?" Still, some songs I treat more seriously...whatever that means.

Mojo stealing a song from me during FAWM has become a tradition. He usually aims for a melodic one, probably a habit that comes from our first collab, the Chicken Wings song...
Thanks, and congrats on completing FAWM x2 (double FAWMs are tough, I know it).

Kay, how about I do a take on Hunted, and you take a crack at one of mine? Or if you can't record something we could just write some lyrics together?

Thanks for welcoming me! I am new to this and unsure of what to make of it, but excited just the same! You can call me Paul (the EP and user name are a reference to The Office (US version) I came up with a few years ago, back when I lived and breathed for Pam and Jim). Thank you, also, for listening to my songs! "Brontosaurus" was written as part of my Request-A-Song project. A college friend, dismayed after I told her quite adamantly that the Brontosaurus is not a real dinosaur, asked me to write a song about one. Glad that it's appealing to other people!

I would love to collab with you and your uke when you get comfortable with it!! I actually ordered one for myself, and it got back ordered, and then back ordered again, until I finally let the order cancel itself and ordered one from another company, but it hasn't come yet... probably will come when I'm gone next week, lol. I definitely won't be able to play it in time, but it will be fun learning. Maybe next year we can duet

Hi Mary. Thanks for checking out my pre-fawm effort. I kinda wish it had waited for Feb to start, so it could count on my 14, but I've learned to never mess with the muse.

What? February? Now? I couldn't possibly!
I am totally itching, now. Expect me around just a little late though, I'd say; got some things that will not abide one more obsessive preoccupation until they get their due attention. Rock on, girl! I'll catch up!!

That there bird of mine is a raven who lives at a Wild Bird Centre in SW Ireland. They named him Loon, as in Ravin' Loon. At night he goes out to hunt, but ends up at his trainer's house playing tricks and learning new skills. I watched him for an hour. Ravens just rock!
