  update: in case anyone still peeks in...still have a handful of projects to finish, I KNOW! went to load them up the other nite and found my card full and im not ready to delete anything from it yet...uugg! hubby ordered me a couple and should be here in a day or so...
  
  on my list so far to get done or try to do something with:
  cts- song sent before end of FAWM
  everett cinaed- offered to try something with a song...started writing it during FAWM and was not able to give it full attention..uugg!
  musicsongwriter: couple of songs to get through..still sorting and writing...
  dftaylor- gonna give it a go soon
  gslade: gonna try to work up something for chorus on MJ song
  
  even if i dont get these done in march or a lil later...i will keep trying even if just for myself...i dont like not finishing something ive started...have too many of my own songs like that...doh!

•  dftaylor 22 hours ago

  Thanks for the message. Drop me your email by messaging me on MySpace and I'll work out how to get you higher quality wave files, or whatever format you need.
  
  Thanks!

•  dftaylor 1 day ago

  Petra... I'd love for you to add vocals to my song. Thanks for the compliment too. If you want to have a go at it, please let me know. I've really enjoyed listening to your stuff - you've got a great voice and real knack for a melody.
  
  there's something very folksy and bluesy in there. All sorts of mystery.

• musicsongwriter 2 days ago

  Looking forward to hearing your demos, Petra. Please take all the time you need I know the result will be beautiful

•  petra777 (XEW) 4 days ago

  rotfl! i dunno..maybe the versions? i did have a first version but the ending piano was cut off so i quickly uploaded the corrected version...should have only been adding the end unless i used a clone track on the first and not the second? ill have to check that...
  
  still working towards getting a couple of the others done...slow going...
  
  welcome barbara! what awesome songs youve got...

• musicsongwriter 4 days ago

  Hi, Petra, I've uploaded Playing Boxes on my MySpace site. How can it be possible that every time I hear our song it sounds diffeent? I love your vocals
  Nadia

•  barbara 4 days ago

  Hi Petra, thanks so much for your comment! (re "under the willows")

•  Jocelyn 5 days ago

  *waves* Hello! Just letting you know, in case you see this first, that there is an answer to your guitar question!

•  Mal 6 days ago

  Hey, you. I'm afraid all I have for Te Amabo at the moment is the demo, to which you are more than welcome, and thank you so very much for asking.

  Nadia

• musicsongwriter 1 week ago

  Hi Petra. Please listen to http://fawm.org/songs/10492/
  If you like it, may be you could think of some lyrics/vocals for it?
  Nadia

• musicsongwriter 2 weeks ago

  Thank you so much Petra. So glad you liked music
  Nadia

•  heavyhedonist 2 weeks ago

  quite the heavy list! congrats on your stunning output. i'll be looking in again later...

•  petra777 (XEW) 2 weeks ago

  ooooooo nice! thank you for all your work! as soon as i get some vocals re-worked for Psy-T's song, im gonna check these out...whoohoo!

• musicsongwriter 2 weeks ago

  Oh dear, neither of us know then. I've posted a new dry version on Songramp, may be someone can help I've uploaded two ideas for your two lyrics, please take a listen, I don't know if you'd like them or not, they are there and I can change them and rework as long as needs be, I really don't mind. I like your voice and your lyrics

•  petra777 (XEW) 2 weeks ago

  hubby said the same on the dry1...he liked that one better...but it doesnt matter to me..i tend to be partial to having effects just cause i like to cover up things in my vox i dont like...ha! so i leave it up to another to choose cause i never can...

• musicsongwriter 2 weeks ago

  Hi Petra. I'm listening now for 40 minutes and I really can't make up my mind. All the takes are beautiful. I think the one you call dry 1 has more emotion which I really like and I also now like the one which was on yoour site just before these two takes so probably either dry 1 or the previous to the two recent takes are the best (confusing, isn't it?) May be dry 1 is more showing the saddness of the song. Thank you so much for all your work with the recording.
  Nadia
  
  Which take do you personally prefer?

•  petra777 (XEW) 2 weeks ago

  doh! fixed it..

•  G Slade 2 weeks ago

  lol..on my newest track you put "G was kidding when he said it was awesome." ...a typo? lol

•  petra777 (XEW) 2 weeks ago

  yay! gonna have hubby check on levels and stuff when he gets home and ill have that and the track(s) for Nadia to post...movin' right along...

•  Linzi 2 weeks ago

  You're very welcome to post it, I'm honoured

•  petra777 (XEW) 2 weeks ago

  Nadia: yep yep yep, ill email you also in case u miss the message..ill try to make the effect corrections asap...ill do an adjusted version and a "dry" vox one....

• musicsongwriter 2 weeks ago

  Thank you Petra I know just too well how hard it is to record when the little one is around You've done a wonderful job
  Nadia

• musicsongwriter 2 weeks ago

  Thank you so much for creating your beautiful lyric and singing so beautifully. I love our song The only thing I thought I'd like to ask you (if it is okay with you is whether you could take away the echo/reverb in the recoring. I think your voice shines and I would prefer to hear its natural beauty I would like to upload our song (may be when you make this slite alteration to the recording if you are happy with my idea) with our both names on different sites and I'd like to know whether you are happy with the idea of having our song on soundclick, songramp, etc. and whether you like me to use Petra as your name. My email address is composeratheart@gmail.com
  Nadia
