Bio

American ex-pat living in Scotland. FAWMer since 2008.

This year I'm responding to a challenge by Matt Wescott to write a randomly generated album (http://fawm.org/forums/thread/18/). Hence "judge of his work" by Zenon. Should be fun

All my lyrics and music are available for reuse under a Creative Commons licence: Attribution-Share Alike 2.5 UK: Scotland (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.5/scotland/).

Basically this means you’re free to use the work any way you like (even commercially) so long as you a) give me credit, and b) attach the same licence to the work when you release it. So you have to share whatever you produce under the same terms. Seems fair to me!

I'll have to do some homework and get a vibe for them. Well, I know some of Tom Waits, work. I'll check it out and touch base with you.

Toss some ideas at me. Maybe I can help with this one. And what I can't do, I'm sure I can put on the producer hat and get others to fill the gaps, Que tu panser? (I hope I wrote that correctly).

That is such a frightening album cover, Paul. Thanks for the nightmares!

@devin, thanks for the comments. That was with a borrowed electric, might have to borrow again, but I am liking my Flip video camera just now. Sound not so good, but okay, and dead easy to set up and get something down.
Hopefully I'll get 14 - last year was 6 and I thought that was pretty good - for me!

@cts - good idea, thought I might write an album of protest songs, and there is a lot to protest about with mimes!

You should have a song about a mime.

[Edit]: And I see you did that.

Your "showcase tune" certainly gets the job done, perfect FAWM approach!

Now, you just gotta post up 14 more....hehehe...but don't start yet
