Bio

So this is my second real FAWM. I wrote a lot last year but did very little recording. I love playing music with g-slab and company each week and have been working hard at my Bass skills - we will see what that does to this year's crop of songs. I have a great wife and three fun girls that will probably play a prominent role in what I write. I am excited that FAWM is here.

Ok @gman ... I've got the demo up for "I've Done Decided" (*25932)
duaneclancy 2 months ago

I'll see if I can work up a video for the song "I've Decided" for you ... I'm sure I can show you the idea anyway ... I'll give you a bump when I do ... but I am curious about your feeling on it are you interested in doing your own version? I would like to see what you can come up with as well ... I'll show you mine if you show me yours ...

Great! It will be a few day, because I have other stuff first, but I'll sent it to you when it's ready.

Thanks for stoppin' by It took me about an hour of tryin' before I could do it without bustin' up ... and they usually don't effect me that way ... just hit the right nerve I guess.

thanks so much for your kind comment on my Dear John song/letter I am rarely called "creative" so that was a big boost -- especially as FAWM draws to a close [ boo ] Thank you!

I hope I fixed it...sorry

Man you're fast. My demo link had htpp so I fixed it to http -- It was only broke for 30 seconds! Thanks for trying, though.

Thanks for the comment on *29373, I'd love a music video being made of it too - too bad that kind of thing is a bit beyond my reach at the moment. There's been a lot of fan-made crossovers between the BBC Sherlock series and Doctor Who, since they share writers, and the main characters are quite similar in terms of wit and intelligence. And of course, they both take place in London, most of the time. An actual crossover episode would be very interesting, wouldn't it? http://oyo-yoh.deviantart.com/art/Sherlock-arguing-with-a-Dalek-281251891

A punk song? Ah, now, as long as we're talking punk c. 1977, I can do that. How's your punk?

Thanks for your kind words.

My good dude, thanks for all your great comments over on our Iocane Power project this year. Leslie and I have been so whacked working on it, but having good folks like yourself swing by has been a major motivation...glad you liked it!

Leslie and I made a pact to get listening, as soon as my hearing recovers
Congrats on your FAWM, you've hooked it up good!

Wow! I had no idea my song was played! That's too awesome, totally made my day. Thanks! Hopefully I'll have time to write a couple more tunes...

Thanks for another comment. I like the way you think- it made me smile- great image. Thanks again.

@gman, thank you for commenting on 'Baby, Sweet Baby'. Thanks too for the heads-up re the volume. I've adjusted it in the meantime.
artslut 3 months ago

Thanks for the suggestion. I cut the dead air. Thanks too for the comment.

Again, and again, I thank you for the kind comments. Closest I'll be to Minneapolis is Madison in July, a reunion with a band I was in a looong time ago...
toms 3 months ago

Well, I personally thought the song was crappy. Again, thank you for the kind comments and listens!

Thanks for your comments on "Waiting for the Dog to Die."
I notice there are a whole lot of people on FAWM from Minnesota --- any idea why? My whole tribe originates in and around Bemidji.

Thanks for the comment on "T'was Blood!" I actually just put up a rough, ROUGH, demo!
kingwoodkowboy 3 months ago

Thanks gman. I sent the lyrics to Tidewater Marine and they wanted to know if it had been recorded. Not yet.
kylegreer 3 months ago

hey there! thanks so much for all the kinds words! i just learned how to multitrack on garageband, and it's really helping the balance with the voice and piano to be able to play and record both at the same time (glad it's noticeable ). that silence is totally a fluke i must've accidentally cut and pasted the piano part WAAAY at the end; so, when i sent it to iTunes it became 11 minutes long! i'll definitely fix and repost i can't wait to hear the songs you've put up! look forward to more exchanges
ellenpliss 3 months ago

g-man, thanks so much for the kind comment on my toddler rap. My kids are 8 and 11 now, but not much has changed, and I am obviously scarred. I appreciate your understanding!
radioovermoscow 3 months ago

1987 you say? I was wondering where the hell that song came from! I was trying to write a Queen song!
mooingmenace 3 months ago

I hope you do as well. So far it's fantastic! And my mom also loves "I Can't Go to Heaven Tonight".
mooingmenace 3 months ago

Hahaha thank you. I love that he messed up my name before the song and then the name of the song after.

Hey, g-man! Thanks SO MUCH for taking the time to listen to my song and to leave a comment. It's Sort Of autobiographical. Took some liberties as one can do in the beautiful craft they call songwriting. But, nonetheless.
So, I'm at work right now. Otherwise, I'd totally jump in head first in listening to your tune. I'll have to come back to it. Remind me and I will do so.
Thanks again, man! RAWK on FAWM style!
