Bio

FAWM 2012 update:

I’m v-excited for either my 3rd or 4th FAWM. I lost count after 2. I will be posting lyrics for my favorite FAWMers (and hopefully a few new collaborators as well) to bring to life as companion songs for stories that I’m writing or have written. Check out my website for previous collaborations as well as my MUSIC ARTIST web pages that I’ve built to showcase FAWM collaborative artists.

http://marklberry.com/the-music-artists-page/

FAWM songs I have co-written have appeared in the following publications so far: Airways magazine, TARPA Topics magazine, AOPA Flight Training magazine, Rogue magazine, and online at ERAU EaglesNEST, MilSpeak Memo, and Write This literary journal.

Please contact me if you’d like to read the story associated with any of my lyric posts.

Cheers! MLB on FAWM as “marklberry”

    Your comment about the Gregorian chants in Warped Time inspired me to dedicate a song to the Monty Python monks - Pie Monty Domine (*29164).

  •  dreamscuba 3 months ago
    Hi Mark, Thanks very much for the comments on "What Do You Want From Me". Much appreciated. I didn't use a filter...I think I am singing a little differently this FAWM...thanks for the likeness to Dylan.

  •  ange 3 months ago
    smile Thank you, that really made my day
  •  musicsongwriter 3 months ago
    Thank you very much Mark for your beautiful comment on my collaboration with Richard. So happy you like it smile
  •  hammersmith 3 months ago
    Thanks for dropping by and commenting on "I Don't Wanna Know". I'm flattered by the offer to co-write on "A Secret Between You and Me", but I don't know what to do with it. I find the sheer volume of words there a little overwhelming actually and I don't have access to the sort of voice you're looking for either. I'll check in here periodically and be sure to let you know if something catches my attention.
  •  dreamscuba 3 months ago
    Hi Mark, thanks very much for the comments on my songs. Very much appreciated. I look forward to doing a collab with you during FAWM. Thanks.
  •  ange 3 months ago
    dawwww, you made my little smile a lot bigger with your lovely comments smile Thank you

    Mark, pic available at www.reverbnation.com/loricitro. I cannot seem to get my photos on here...exceed maximum memory or something and I am so not computer geek, I don't know how to fix it. sad Lori
  •  stewbalm 3 months ago
    Fantastic! Patrickestewart@hotmail.com
  •  stewbalm 3 months ago
    sounds great! Later in the month, but for sure! Lyrics are kind of new to me, and I've really appreciated your feedback!! Looking forward to it!!!
  •  musicsongwriter 3 months ago
    Thank you for your comment on Together Mark.
  •  stewbalm 3 months ago
    Looks like the collaboration list was mis-read. I'm supposed to be with @brownium. HOWEVER...since I'm on here to learn and meet folks...I'd definitely do a collaboration with you!! How best to proceed?
  • roydesmet 3 months ago
    Thanks for your feedback. It might well sound like ESL, because English is not my native or first language.
    I thought 'Then there comes lots of children' sounded better in this musical context, but I already knew it wasn't 'proper English'.
    And for the 'mum', I indeed tried to make it sound Brittish.
    Do you have any comments on my pronunciation of British English?
    Well, I guess I could better ask that a 'genuine' Brit.

    Thanks again! wink
  •  cts 3 months ago
    It very well may be, but I plan on changing it up at some point. Thanks for dropping by, my friend.
  • roydesmet 3 months ago
    Thank you for your kind words on my 'Nocturne'.
    I've just uploaded another song which is a piece of poetry put over some music, both written by myself.
    You being a native English speaker, I'd like to hear what you think of it.
  •  tcelliott 3 months ago
    Thanks, Mark. Queue up "under pressure" by Queen.
    I hope things are going well for you. Glad to see you around, but I'm headed to bed now. Will definitely check out your tracks soon. *wave goodnight*
