Hi Everyone!

2012
Getting ready to start FAWM #3! This year I'm playing it by ear & doing whatever works out. I have a handful of subjects I'd like to tackle but not going to push for them & miss out on doing a collab or the such. I guess my main goal is to do as much recording as I can get in.
I did not get a whole lot further in my guitar studies, but am still sporadically studying as often as I can squeeze in a few moments (which still isnt much ). I did win a 6 month subscrip to a guitar study thingy online so hopefully I can get motivated with FAWM to get going again. I have been doing various other studies pertaining to my big project, & a lyric study of Lou Reed's lyrics (came across the book & since I wasnt familar with the songs Ii thought it might be interesting to read them then go back & listen to them).
I will be missing a few days during the month to go see BJORK! Hopefully on the drive to NYC I can get some writing in. It's been a rough few months so I'm ready to get some things out into lyrics (hopefully recorded too!).
Oh ya! Miss Nugget will be participating again this year as part of her homeschool music project. She will also be starting piano lessons hopefully soon (having trouble finding a teacher at this point in the school year).

Welcome to my FAWM page, thanks for checking things out. This is my second FAWM. For the most part, I may be only posting lyrics to songs I will finish up in the future, same as last year. But this year I am working to finish up as many song sets as possible for my next album project that came to being last FAWM. I hope that "Seven Songs for Seven Souls" might be properly completed by end of year. Yeah, I know wishful thinking but its turning into a special project with lots of meaning, so even if it runs longer I am determined to finish it.
So after last FAWM, I set a challenge for myself to do at least 1 song this FAWM on guitar. I began studying guitar in March & got a decent amount of basics down, but alas, being Mommy, wife & homeschool teacher left me with not much time to nurse my studies as preferred. So, Im not sure if Ill be able to complete the challenge, but with a bit of creativity Im sure Ill come up with something. Same with the Uke. I bought a new cheap one also & want to try to do at least a lil something. It will be dorky, maybe even Errol inspired.
Another challenge to myself is to complete some collabs I started after last FAWM, & maybe even get something done that I promised to collaborators (in other words never began but said we should do something together...Mal, Errol, etc..). CTS, you know you are top of my list..

Thanks!
