acoustic folk welcome

Liner Notes:

Nobody ever writes songs welcoming people to FAWM. So I battled sickness and this song is dedicated to all the Fawmlings and noobs who are experiencing FAWM for the first time.

Lyrics:

There's a place where magic fills the air
a place for songwriters to come in and share
it only takes a second for you to get there
no it doesn't take too long
for you to write a song
never go to .com, oh no!

(Welcome to FAWM!)
One place on the net where everybody cares
it's better than getting some gum in your hair
and though @errol is strange there's no need to be scared
he wants to be your friend
you'll be friends till the end
FAWM friends till the end

Ah, an (un?)official FAWM introduction song, so sweet.
"and though @errol is strange there's no need to be scared", that really caught my attention. So many references in this, and it's very cleverly done. A pleasure to listen.

"never go to .com, oh no!" hahahahaha!

I always approach songs about songwriting etc with trepidation (yes, it's hypocritical, because I've already done one myself this year), but this is totally charming and I was instantly won over. Then the second verse came in and blew me away with those harmonies. In short - lovely and fun!

LOL, the .com line is brilliant and so true. Thanks for sharing this and kicking of FAWM with sweetness and humor.

This fits in nicely with the fawm promo songs that folks were doing leading up to this year's fawm. Clever and compact, I dig it!

"for you to write a song
never go to .com, oh no!" - +1 FTW. So full of fanciful fun and it even nods to @errol. How cool is that? I'm gonna drink me a grape sodie through a straw and listen again...

nice .com reference. I did that once as a fawm noob....never again. I love the harmonica part too of course.

Eric - this is SO cute!

I detect a hint of They Might Be Giants influence? Which is no bad thing in my book!

It's wonderful.

Errol is not strange!

(He is. He is very strange).
