    You have 101 songs. That sort of explains why I hear you so very often on the jukebox.

    Just, wow. How on earth did you manage to write that many songs in so short a time? O_O
  •  jadesongbird 2 months ago
    Thank you for your comment on Most Days. It especially means a lot coming from someone as prolific as you!
  •  max 2 months ago
    Wowzers!!!! lol ONE HUNDRED AND ONE ?!
    That's not an album, that's a deluxe box-set. Congrats sir.
  • arthurrossi 2 months ago
    Congratulations! I am fascinated not only by the quantity, which is already impressive for itself at any rate, but also by the high quality of your songs!!! Great, GREAT job!!
  •  sapient 2 months ago
    Indeed I did! Nicely sneaked at the end wink
  •  sapient 2 months ago
    100?
    Nice!
    Well done, sir smile
  •  daddyschu 2 months ago
    Uh............ WOW!!!
  •  robs 2 months ago
    I'm impressed by the quantity ànd quality of your output. It's inspiring!
  •  max 2 months ago
    I'm afraid you can't play all 66 songs at the FOP Gordon big_smile
    I'm sure it's going to be a great FAWM party and I'm glad the date is OK with you.
    btw>I don't think a collab will work during the last few days of FAWM, too busy I'm afraid.
    But maybe we could try something after FAWM?
  • capriciousangel 2 months ago
    Heyyy smile
    Would you be interested in recording a vocal to 'Ghost Dance', but Thetau and myself? only, your voice is exactly what i imagine for it, any you seem plenty capable of recording any number of songs at speed and quality... smile
    What do you say? you can drop thetau or me a line on our soundboards, or we both have email adresses on our profiles, or comment on the song, then we'll both see it smile
    Thanks,
    smile
  •  boyatheart 2 months ago
    Wow, impressive tally. I don't know which one to listen to first. I'll have to try out a selection of your songs. Congrats smile

  • kiwafruit 3 months ago
    Hiya smile Thanks for the lovely comment on "I'll Find The Way". I really like playing happy progressions on the uke, with not-necessarily-so-happy lyrics wink
    Congratulations on winning - that's a CRAPLOAD of songs! I'm going to enjoy going through them all... I can't believe they all have demos... o.O
  •  avidfanman 3 months ago
    Thanks for your comment, I know what you mean about the dance-vibe, I did find myself having an occasional shuffle around whilst I was recording it!
  •  errol 3 months ago
    *LAUGH* That's right, I remember him giving you a shoutout on facebook! big_smile I'm glad you're enjoying FAWM! My first year was awesome too!
  •  errol 3 months ago
    Heh, just updating the wiki for the fawmcast I played you in, and so I'm here stalking and... GOOD GRIEF MAN! LOOK AT ALL THE SONGS. big_smile

    Good job. big_smile
  • capriciousangel 3 months ago
    Ok, i listened to the first 30ish seconds of every one of your songs, and they are, without exception, awesome. I have also downloaded them all, so i can listen to them fully at a later date when i have more time on my hands, as you have a good couple of hours of music here!
  • capriciousangel 3 months ago
    37 songs????? woah... and all recorded... do you live in a time-suspension loop or something?!
  •  tiedyehero 3 months ago
    Thanks for your comments. I have attempted to experiment with harmonies but I just don't hear them for some reason. And if I do hear them I have difficulty singing them. Ohhh well. Thanks again
