Artist Bio
Influences: my bride, my cats, you, the beerlight tattoo, faeries, gnomes, dragons, bourbon
Daddy (fixer of things broken), musician, geek, curmudgeon, junkyard dog, recovering perfectionist.
I am now in my second decade of FAWM. It's a bit hard to believe that I've been doing FAWM and 50/90 both since 2009. Many years, many songs and more importantly many friends.
There is no way of knowing yet what my muse (spelled Miuz) will drop in my lap. Hopefully, it won't be boring. Happy FAWM to everyone.

Still haven't gotten around to reworking the guitar racks. I desperately need room for more.

Just thought I would let you know I've been struggling with listening to your stuff. I have finally diagnosed it and it appears that AdBlock was blocking the streaming of your stuff. I've solved my problem by whitelisting fawm.org but just thought I would let you know.

@dannyk1 Feb 19
I've got a few lyrics up and will probably have more coming. Let me know if anything strikes a chord.
-
@dannyk1 Feb 17
Bob, I had about 10 lyrics I was playing with pre-fawm and my phone got dropped in the drink. It's supposed to be fixed this week. We'll see.

@tamsnumber4 Feb 17
Thanks for commenting on my collab song "Who We Really Are", I appreciate it!
-
@timfatchen Feb 15
Back briefly from FAWMless purgatory and able to lsiten a bit. Daffodils worked really well!
-
@mattoxic Feb 15
Thanks for the comments on Robot hands, and I deeply appreciate your guitar wall.

@dannyk1 Feb 15
Hey Bob, i'll be late to the party if I make it at all.

@dragondreams Feb 14
Thanks, Bob! 😊
I'll see whether I can remember how I did the switching and draw it out for you. Basically, the top switch selects the P90, P90 plus humbuckers, just humbuckers. Bottom switch selects middle 'bucker, both 'buckers, just bridge 'bucker. Volume pot is also a push/pull switch for coil splitting both 'buckers (I decided against adding another switched pot to coil split the pups individually - there already more tone options than I ever use).
The control with the dragon inset is the boost control. It's a four position switch to boost the gain in steps. -
@arkka Feb 13
Thanks for the comment!

@dragondreams Feb 13
And, as an aside... I'm currently, right this very minute, building my own take on a scrapyard dog. A friend found a Strat-style body in a skip, and I have a spare Tele-style neck here... 😉
Pics to follow... -
@dragondreams Feb 13
Black Diamond can play way rougher than anything else on the wall here. 😉 But she's well tempered - just backed by huge muscle. I built a pre-amp into her that provides up to 25dB of gain if I need it. Enough to drive most amps into meltdown. But she definitely lacks Frankie's pure Voodoo.
I don't include Frankie as a custom build. She's more "heavily modified" rather than "built from scratch". 😉 -
@sph Feb 13
Being interested in guitars I followed your comment to @dragondreams song to read his possible reaction. Yes, I'm guilty. But that picture of a "Viking style flaming longboat floating down a canal" is ace and lets my imagination run wild! As we say in germany: Kopfkino at it's best!
-
@dragondreams Feb 12
You are so kind, Bob! Thank you.
I've got the day off tomorrow so I'll dig the camera out and snap the Black Diamond.
And Frankie will be with me 'til the end. I'm picturing a Viking style flaming longboat, Frankie laid at my feet as we're cast off down the local canal. 😉😂 -
@dasbinky Feb 12
I might be up for collaborating on What Did Me In. Shoot me an email with your thoughts.

Hey Bob! Thanks for listening to Cobwebs and Rust! Yeah I got the idea from your song Moonshine and Taco Bell and the convo there!

Glad you liked it! 😀 -

*You* are the King of Liner Notes, sir, as I recall. Glad you enjoyed mine. 😉

@timfatchen Feb 4
bob, edit the page so I'm there as a collab please!
-
@timfatchen Feb 4
I've deleted the placeholder. Post the song direct Bob, me as collab. In a mess and about to travel (again) here.
-
@dragondreams Feb 4
Thank you so much for your time and fabulously supportive comments, Bob! And I'm so glad you like the flute on "Unwilling wizard". It's a piece of PVC waste pipe I turned into a DIY shakuhachi. 😂
Just guzzling my first coffee of the day, then I'll be back to get you to entertain me! 😎 -
@timfatchen Feb 3
dingding!

@timfatchen Feb 1
THansk for the prism comment Bob. I'll have a couple of beds for you but probably about 10 days down the track, okay? (up north working)

@heavyhedonist Jan 31
Noice work space, as long as the flying monkeys don't knock things off the walls.
-
@valeriecox Jan 30
Yeah, tick tock! I like your studio. Looks like I'm gonna need a couple more guitars to catch up with you. 😝
-
@dasbinky Jan 29
Always happy to be a... source of inspiration? That can't be right... 😉
May your FAWM be fruitful and rife with Fenders! -
@corinnecurcio Jan 29
Hiya Bob. Enjoy!

You, sir, are way too gracious. Thank you for the shout out, my man.

@krayzie003 Jan 27
Hey, Florida men unite!
That could be really dangerous. lol
Nice looking studio and guitar collection. -
@chipwithrow Jan 27
And hi to you, too! Florida Men, we are!
-
@sapient Jan 27
You can count on it! 😁
Always a pleasure to see you here again! -
@timfatchen Jan 27
I'm not a guitarist and I have to park more guitars than I have keyboards...I'll do some beds for you and we'll see what we can chill. THIS time! Before we fall off the stool...
-
@andygetch Jan 26
Hey Bob, happy FL FAWM'ing!
-
@headfirstonly Jan 26
Great to hear from you Bob - I'm sure your muse will be dropping plenty of inspiration in your lap. How could she not, looking at all those lovely guitars?
-
@chasingandromeda Jan 26
Likewise, my friend. I always love what you bring to the event. One of these days we will finish one together. My work schedule is probably not conducive to it this time around but maybe 50/90 will be kinder.
-
@tamsnumber4 Jan 26
So happy to hear from you!! Can't wait to hear what you create!!!
-
@barbara Jan 26
Accomplice? As long as it doesn’t violate my parole, I’m in! 😉
Good to see you pawing at the starting line, B! -
@dragondreams Jan 26
Bob! It makes my heart glad to see you here this year! 😀
We'll have to have a proper catch-up soon. It sounds like you've been through the mill a little,my friend.
Let's kick back and make some noise. 😀 -
@cts Jan 26
My friend! So good to hear from you!!
-
@leslie Jan 19
You're an inspiration. A great rocking FAWM to you, sir!
-
@fuzzy Jan 14
Hey!!
Can't wait to hear what you come up with this FAWM!!
