  You can guitar/bass/etc yourself away on any of my songs anytime!

  this is a set of lyrics from a girl that Maeflower knows...(the same chick that Maeflower wrote about in her song Military Wife)...thought of you when I read the lyrics...if you are looking for a collab with a fawmling! kg

  I would love to let the rage out! I just need a good distorted guitar.

  It might take a bit, and it probably won't be this February, but Joel, you'd better believe that someday soon I'll make it out in your direction and I'll hold you to it!

  Joel, thanks for listening - the bass is actually sampled (the upright bass from Kontakt 3), no substitute for the real thing but I think it sounds reasonably authentic.
  The solo (and rhythm) was a Tanglewood Parlour (TW73). It's my work-horse acoustic. A great little guitar with a sound that belies it's cost.

  Heh, thanks! Hoping I can crank out 14 again this year - you?

  Hey Joel - Just dropping by to say hi.
  
  Hi!

  JDC> Care to indulge my fear, and work on something to which I could add lyrics and vocals?
  
  I'd be glad to. I've been practicing a lot of my fingerstyle guitar work, and good old fashioned rhythm guitar.
  
  Here's my idea. Let's both get to about #3 in FAWM. Then I can analyze your vocal style a bit more closely, and you can hear a few pieces of mine. We can probably meet in the middle.
  
  Say, you're playing the Double Harmonic scale, eh? I've always meant to do an album with unusual scales . . . maybe that's FAWM 2011.

  Howdy, Joel! Woohoo!

•  Frances 1 week ago

  How much would I love that!! Keep me posted!

• mikejames 2 weeks ago

  Hey Joel-just checking in-good to see you are back rockin' fawm 2010!

•  Rick Amorphis 2 weeks ago

  Joel,
  Went back and listened to 'Everyday People'...you're right, E on the bass all the way through! Great song. Takes supreme confidence to hang on one note like that.
  Good luck next month.

  Greetings again! Looking forward to another great FAWM.

•  Frances 3 weeks ago

  Hi Joel!! I'm looking forward to hearing your songs this year!

•  Maeflower 3 weeks ago

  JOEL!!!!!!! (hi!) How's stuff? I had no idea our compilation had its very own website---you are the epitome of cool, spin! Looking forward to new craziness.....when I need a good lift I still refer back to your instrumental about the man falling out of the balloon.

  Joel. I did not know you were so "old" I got ya by 10. your words about your adult children hit me and my heart goes out to you. I write a lot of broken hearted songs. It is a good way to purge the system and clarify how i am dealing with a matter. i can see a good song title "adult children" or " my adult children are acting like kids" etc etc probably be the easiest songs you would ever write. take care dougdog
