Bio

Third-time FAWM-er. Though I completed FAWM in 2010 and 2011, the songs I wrote didn't make a coherent album. That's my goal this year. I'm going to write songs based off portraits of criminals from Newcastle City Gaol from 1871-1873, found in the Tyne & Wear Archives on flickr (http://www.flickr.com/photos/twm_news/sets/72157625464218629/).

I'm primarily a guitarist, but I also play bass and mandolin. I'm passable at keyboards, and I know some things about harmonica and trombone. I got a melodica for Christmas, and I'm excited to use that.

I'm a second-year university student (English major, history minor) and a Nerdfighter.

Suggestion: as well as the youtube clip, pull an mp3 off it and store it somewhere it can be streamed to the FAWM jukebox, then stick half the songs up as mp3s to jukebox stream (with the YouTube URL shown). You should have had lots more comments; you're not getting the listeners you should because it's all video which won't jukebox!

Thanks! Gave a listen and updated my comment on Henry Leonard Stephenson & Michael Clement Fisher.

Howdy! I'm listening to your Cap'n Dave song on youtube and chuckling at the electric guitar with the piano! sticker. Sounds pretty good!
