I probably won't be doing a song-a-week, either. I've decided to re-write and re-record my album from this month and really make something that people will want to listen to. I started out by replacing one song ("Came to Believe it") with "Always There" (http://www.archive.org/download/TimothyChenAllen-AlwaysThere/always_there.mp3), which rings truer for me.

Thanks for your comments on "What it was like" (http://fawm.org/songs/463/#c38453) and "What it's like now" (http://fawm.org/songs/9177/#c38456).

Weren't you really active on Song-a-Week? What ever happened there? I started trying to post at some point and got a virus warning, and then a few weeks later it seemed like the site had been taken down. Oh well, it helped me write a bunch of songs last year!

Thanks very much for the comment on my song.
hbusse 4 days ago

wow, impressed that you didn't actually use any type of looping on that one! you're quite the pianist.
Valerie Cox 4 days ago

Man, I didn't realize I missed so many of your tunes last month! I had fun listening to them today though. Hopefully you'll have the undemoed stuff demoed soon too. I can definitely not miss Road Trip It Girl.

I failed to send you anything for a collab last month too, after asking you about it months in advance. You'd think I could be more prepared, but no. Sorry. I suck. Yes, I suck.
Phil Norman 4 days ago

You mean a lot to me, too! After all, friendliness is next to prod-liness.

..and just like that you soar to 19. Again, I say, incredible.

Thanks, hon. You and Helen enjoy and I look forward to catching up with you and your music. *hugs*
John Crossman 1 week ago

I thought I said congrats on 14+, but in my post-FAWM, bleary-eyed state must not have. In my mind, I typed the following: Way to go, Nancy, there's a reason why Rost rhymes with awesomesauce!
Karan 1 week ago

Heya! Celebration!

(And thank you for the inspiring songskirmish titles - they were brilliant!)

I can be there to start tomorrow but I have to work at 3pm so I might not get it fully recorded before I have to leave.

Nancy, come check out the "Yes" song I did with Robyn MacKenzie as a late songskirmish entry.

Nancy,
Thanks for the comment on Funk'd It Up. I think cts' lyric and singing turned a decent rhythm track into a song. Glad you liked both halves of the greater whole.
cts 2 weeks ago

I really have missed you.
Nick Sypniewski 2 weeks ago

Nancy
Thanks very much for the comments on my "Yes" song. Yeah, I was actually surprised with the few good lines in it - my standard process is usually to edit a lot more as I'm writing - just no time for it with the one-hour deadline. Maybe I should impose those more on myself? LOL. Anyway - thanks again.

Thanks, Nancy.
Shady Wilbury 3 weeks ago

Let the melody dictate it? Would I ever! None of my melodies/chord progressions influence each other, that I'm aware of, anyway. Glad you liked it, though.
John Crossman 3 weeks ago

Hiya Nancy! I think I'll send you an email about fawmsongstuff in the next couple days...

Hiya Nancy! I did record my demo for the skirmish tonight. I felt like I was cheating a bit just doing words this afternoon, but I wanted to participate anyway. Here's a link-loo if you get a chance:

BTW, excellent song title choice with Second Hand! There were so many great interpretations, and it was a blast seeing which one people glommed on to in the first 45 seconds of the thought process.
Valerie Cox 3 weeks ago

Forgive me for this one Nancy, but it just popped into my head and to be honest, TC made me do it! http://fawm.org/songs/4079/
Chasing Andromeda 3 weeks ago

Thanks for the listen, Nancy. It does have that "You Dropped a Bomb On Me" thing going on, doesn't it? I didn't notice until you mentioned it, but since you did, it's pretty obvious...which is fine with me. That is definitely the vibe I wanted.

Thanks, Nancy! I just updated the song with a super rough demo to give people an idea of the sound. It doesn't seem quite like your style...

Hi Nancy... Yes I'm in Wisconsin. John Crossman and I used to play in a group together and He turned me on to FAWM. I've been trying to get out to a Song Writers open mic and just haven't had a chance. If you have another please let me know. I'd love to come!

Nancy,
Thanks for the comment on Five O'Clock World. Glad you liked the arrangement. Arrangement and music is what I do well - singing and lyrics, not so much - as this FAWM is proving to me... Anywho - thanks for stopping by.

Hey - I named my son Joshua Adam after the David Soul character and because I like the name Adam. When I was young, I thought he was so handsome and wise. Josh has now named his son Adam Joshua, aka A.J.

A bunch of other women must have liked it, too, because there ended up being a ton of Joshuas walking around!

Well with an offer like that it's hard to refuse!! I'll take a look at the schedule....there's a chance that my mom's choir will be singing one of my tunes from FAWM 08 in which case I will definitely be back east for part of the month; just not sure which part. I'll be in touch soon!!

Nancy.....I hope this goes without saying but you are my hero. I've been playing out our wonderful collab and having scads of fun with it....only problem is I cannot recreate the pianific magnificence of that postlude you wrote. <sigh> Maybe, just maybe, I can include Wisconsin in my hoped for road trip and you can teach me in person??
