  Robyn, if you play New Old Yes Song live at some point, let me know how it was received by your audience. Hoping people love it.

•  Julie 1 week ago

  lol You asked for it by agreeing with expendable friend....
  Here is You are a Walrus set to crazy music:

•  tinkerbell 2 weeks ago

  That would be just fine, Robyn, so pleased you're willing. If I have understood it correctly, as long as they are posted before the end of FAWM we still get to fiddle with them afterwards (no pun intended, actually, but in your case it might be literally so ).

•  tinkerbell 2 weeks ago

  Hi, Robyn, I just love what you're doing. I know you've done a lullaby with Donna already, but I was wondering if you would be interested in doing another melody for my Lullaby for Lily. Maeflower has done a very pretty ukelele version, and I would also be so interested to hear yours if you're at all interested!

• captainquirk 2 weeks ago

  Thank you for the comment.

•  Michael Gutierrez-May 2 weeks ago

  Thanks for the beautiful music and vocals with my Yes song lyrics. Song is now up on site.

•  Chasing Andromeda 3 weeks ago

  Just wanted to let you know again how much I loved working with you. Please look me up again if you are interested in a repeat performance!

•  Michael Gutierrez-May 3 weeks ago

  Robyn, I really respect your musical ability so let me write some lyrics, email them to you and you can change as you wish and do the music. I would be very flattered.

•  Errol 3 weeks ago

  Oh, it's not that I wrote all those songs. I wrote one backing track, and then people took it and made a whole wack of crazy parodies that are quite hilarious.
  
  So... ya...

• lefty013 3 weeks ago

  If you wanted to take a stab at Nothing Really Matters, be my guest. I can't wait to hear what you come up with!

•  Chasing Andromeda 4 weeks ago

  Robyn, random collab is ready to go. Take a listen and let me know if it works for you.

•  Errol 1 month ago

  I'm just teasin' ya Robyn. I would certainly hope you'd have learned by now not to take me too seriously.

•  Errol 1 month ago

  HI Robin. I see you posted. So that means you are awake... and not working on our collab.

• mijahu 1 month ago

  Thank you! I wasn't sure the harmony was a good choice or not. 'twas a bit of a last minute add-on.

•  Errol 1 month ago

  Was so close to Fiery Flamingo playing on the radio.
  
  But I was talking too much. Hopefully we play it tonight (Sunday)

• Adam_William_Lee_Rice 1 month ago

  I've come to understand that as a drummer and part time work slave, I can't hold even the slightest candle to you or any fawmer. I desperately wish for even 5 comments on one song but you get dozens for each.
  I'm just not a quality musician. I'm just a drummer....oh well.
  Maybe I won't give up this month, but there's a chance I won't attempt this stuff again

• Erik Didriksen 1 month ago

  LOL -- fair enough!

• Dominic Johnson 1 month ago

  Hey Robyn - can you read through this thread? It is regarding the Each Person Write One Line challenge.
  http://fawm.org/forums/thread/460/
  Cheers.

• Captain Vulpine! 1 month ago

  As long as you keep up the good work here, my goal is to eventually produce a musical and you will definitely be invited!
  
  Cheers!

• Erik Didriksen 1 month ago

  It totally could be. It's really not that far from "take off your pants and jacket," is it? Don't take offense, now; they're generally enjoyable, and my band used to do a cover of "Dammit" just about every show.

• Alanna 1 month ago

  Hey this is Alanna. I'm on board!

• Captain Vulpine! 1 month ago

  Ah, well you're much too kind! I'll attempt to live up to the strangeness of my first few songs I hope you're writing is going well!

• Captain Vulpine! 1 month ago

  Thank you for the compliment! The song is now up if you're interested in hearing, and I must say, it's some lovely music you make here. Cheers!

• Adam_William_Lee_Rice 1 month ago

  I agree. Some collaboration sounds fun. Dav-eed would probably like to as well. I'm going to use his guitar skills for my profile this month.

• Adam_William_Lee_Rice 1 month ago

  Hello! I can't remember my old fawm password so I just started a new profile.
  Nice job with the two songs already. I need to catch up.

•  Donna 1 month ago

  Robyn, I got your enthusiastic message re the lullaby. That would be lovely if you'd musicify it. I'll email you.

•  Tim Fatchen 1 month ago

  I'm sure I waved hello. Perhaps it was on the forums [waves]

• Erik Didriksen 1 month ago

  Too bad I'm at work from 12 - 7 and then lab time for my recording class from 7 - 12 on Sundays. I'll shoot you an email with my schedule; you shoot me one back with yours, and we'll find a time that works. Also, you're two hours behind me, right? New Mexico is MST/MDT?

• Erik Didriksen 1 month ago

  However you like! What's the most convenient way for you to communicate swiftly? AIM, GChat, Skype, Google Wave? Let me know and we'll find a time to really start hashing stuff out, I guess.

•  Halfpenny Orchestra 1 month ago

  Robyn, thanks for signing up for Halfpenny Orchestra’s Loteria Challenge. You have been dealt: La Chalupa (The Canoe, No. 48). We’ve also seen it translated as “the boat” or “the greasy Taco Bell meal.” In the description of your song, please include the subject of the card and its number. Also, please include loteria as a tag. Have fun!

•  Chasing Andromeda 1 month ago

  Hey there, my random collab partner! Let's see what we can make happen!

•  Errol 1 month ago

  Did any of your songs have violin in it? I can't remember, Robyn.

•  Kevin Reid 2 months ago

  Hey, Robyn. Good to see you here again! Looking forward to hearing your songs.

•  mojo 2 months ago

  mrrreow mrmrmrrr rrweaw eew

•  Charlie Cheney 2 months ago

  Hey Robyn, if I could set up an Indie Band Manager seminar at the University of New Mexico I would come to ABQ for sure. Who should I speak to in the music or business schools do you think? Do you have a name? Thanks.

• Erik Didriksen 2 months ago

  Well, the tunes sure didn't SOUND like apathy and stress... I'm looking forward to what excitement and positive energy sounds like, then!!

• Erik Didriksen 2 months ago

  LOL -- I don't mind! Glad to see that you're still hoping to collaborate and that you don't actively despise me for inadvertently leaving you swingin' in the wind on our 50/90 collaboration. (Sorry again...)

• Erik Didriksen 2 months ago

  Hey, Robyn!! Looking forward to hearing a slew of new brilliant tunes from you -- and maybe, just maybe, I can actually be useful in a collab this month. (Endless apologies for the epic fail over the summer.)
