Hahh, thank you, re: Saw. I have that sitting next to me, waiting. It was an impulse, don't remember why now. When in the "Flow" I just go with it and don't "think" to much about it 😀
- I love music! OMG! 😀

Thanks for your generous comments on Love is the Light. It's not perfect yet the round harmonies must beget better but... it's a work in progress. I listened to some of you works. St Francis Assisi Prayer, Resbaladizo and Hari Om. I like your sense of humor and your use of other languages and your compositional liberation. It's been fun. Thanks

Electric guitars do give you a lot of tonal variety... you could also always test out a pickup on your uke. I've got a buddy who gets some really cool tones and sounds that way, and then you're in for a lot less $$. It does take a bit more to pick up and play (you need an amp), but I always have fun with my electric guitars.

Thanks for the kind words on my little country numbers, man.
@zecoop 7 weeks

Thanks so much -I am heading around listening more and will get to yours again tomorrow. Appreciated the super nice comments! I love that Hammond it is a M100 which is what was used on Green Onions and it was $40. The B3/C3 are super expensive and these sound close enough to me! They still use the same tone generators just don’t have all of the tones but close! L100 or M100 or M3 can be found for super cheap (but not cheap on your back - they are super heavy!!!

Hey Chip, thanks for the visit and your (always) encouraging comments. I'll be back to repay your kindness later today. I encourage you if you have a spare 4 minutes b4 the site shuts down, not to miss my 6th song, Then Comes Five, which I'm especially proud of. Maybe best thing I ever made. I'd hate for those I've known so long on these challenges to miss it in the fray.
@rainchaser 7 weeks

I appreciate your comment on my song, "Please Treat Me Better".

That concept album idea sounds fun I may do it for 50/90, if not definitely next FAWM.

I would be delighted to hear your recording of Companions in Utter Darkness music! With chords if possible so Phil can learn. Sorry for not noticing your note sooner; I had stopped checking so often.

Hi Chip!
Thanks for taking the time to listen to my song “It’s High Time” and for the kind words and compliments. I really appreciate it. Take care!

chip! i remember you!! thanks for listening to 'lemonade'. i agree i was just thinking when i can perform in front of a live audience again that will be a fun one to do!
@metalfoot Mar 9

Good sir,
I fear I have neglected your FAWM output altogether to this point of 2021. This is an oversight to be corrected. Thanks for the kind words!
@farmyardorchestra Mar 8

Hello, Chip! Thanks for sipping and reviewing my Pear & Cranberry Whiskey! I hope you didn't wake up the following day with a bad hangover. 😀
@coolparadiso Mar 8

Nylon string guitar, but like uke chucking style.
@gm7 Mar 7

Thx for the kind words on Banjo-Guitar Tune. I am just learning the Banjo so i have a ways to go. Thx again
@dzdandcunfsd Mar 7

Thanks! I've been woefully neglectful to yours and some others tunes this year as well, was just so much great stuff and so many great new and new to me fawmers. I'll try to get around to hearing some more before the site closes up shop. I was whistling your washing dishes song day before yesterday though and it took me a while to place it LOL
@madeline Mar 6

My apologies for the double post. Not sure how to delete it. I only see an option to edit it.
@madeline Mar 6

Thanks for listening and for leaving your kind words on “This Time Last Year”. You have been quite prolific with your songwriting. Congrats!
@headfirstonly Mar 6

Ha - I have no room for a genuine B-3 in my poky little studio! It's the Arturia V Collection emulation, which is pretty darn close. Thanks for the nice comment.
@emkaydeebee Mar 4

Thanks so much for listening and commenting on Contemplation - I’m glad it had an effect. And thanks for your response on the MH thread too... appreciate that.
@gb9 Feb 28

Thank you so much for the appreciation and kind comment on 'Paused' 😀
It still is a terrible memory and sadly relatable to so many of us...
@theodamus Feb 27

Thank you so much for your comment on “Hold”! You pretty much got the picture, I was in fact sitting looking out the window overlooking the town and feeling the early morning lockdown ennui ❤️
@candle Feb 24

Thank you for the comment on Sensibility. Yeah, gotta power thru the FAWM Goblin's pranks no matter what. 😁

See You In The Shadows…
@scubed Feb 23

Thanks so much for your comment on “Wolf Song”!
@daveyboy103 Feb 23

Thank you for you kind comments on Ghosts
@jamkar Feb 22

Thank you so much Chip. I am a big Lynch fan. I will get free and check out more of yours.
@abudabard12514 Feb 22

Thanks so much for your comments on my tunes! I do pick some banjo. I haven't gotten into it this year yet either, though I did some banjolele on a tune called "Play In the Darkness" this month but I'd like to get a banjo tune in before the month is out. This month is flying by for me. Looking forward to hearing your creations! Have you been playing banjo a long time? I'll watchlist you. Judging from your influences I anticipate we'd get along just fine
@ustaknow Feb 22

Hahh, thank you; what's weirder is it became the backing for the re-write, re-written again, "Satan, gonna burn your kingdom down" public domain spiritual:
https://fawm.org/songs/116911/

I heard both tracks in my head later that night and said, "self, you didn't write that...", "oh, but maybe you should". So I dumped the lyrics into it, hahhh. - Don't jah just love music!
@berni1954 Feb 22

Glad you liked my song for an old friend. I am particularly happy that you dug the solo. It is only in relatively recent times that I have dared to start trying to solo, so praise for that was most welcome and encouraging.
@sjbatavia Feb 22

Thanks Chip, I'm finally back. I got slammed with Covid at the end of January and am finally feeling human again. Now I'm trying to catch up on FAWMing. Hope you are doing well. I'm up for a collaboration, if you have anything in mind, let me know.
@kenmattsson Feb 21

@chipwithrow That's a high complement! This is the type of song (Three Jolly Young Men: https://fawm.org/songs/114361/) that gets let loose in the greater world. I guess I just need to post this somewhere so that people can find it!
@emkaydeebee Feb 18

How lovely! Viva Nutella!
@siebass Feb 17

Thanks for the listens yesterday, and you should definitely try the FakeIt challenge! It's always so fun to see how different everyone hears a tune in their mind. I hope your fawm is going well this year
@vegansongs Feb 17

Hi Chip! Thank you so much for your kind word on Double Crosser. It was a fun collab!
@janeg Feb 17

Thank you for your lovely comments on Lana And Reality. The latter doesn’t appeal to Phil, so if you like it and want to compose music, that would be wonderful. I am sure the lyrics will need to be adapted once there is a tune.
@vivalarayna Feb 14

Thank you for your comments on "While You've Got the Time (For Kenny)" and "CoVIDiot Song". I appreciate the feedback on the "carded wool" lines as I wasn't sure how many people would actually get the reference. Glad it resonated with you and you may be right about a whole other song hiding in that concept!
@estebanlartigue Feb 12

thank you for your comments in my songs !
@dani312 Feb 9

Hey there. Thanks so much for your feedback on 'Michael'. Its so good to hear what others think because this one is so personal to me that its kind of hard for me to evaluate it, if that makes sense.. Great to see you on here again this year. Looking forward to checking out your songs. Happy Fawming ! 😀
@berni1954 Feb 9

Hi Chip, thanks for your very positive review of my "Is Your Ride Clean?" Surf anthem, eh? That'd be great! 😁
@infilktion Feb 6

Thank you for the kind words on Han's Falcon!
@srcoops Feb 5

You might play with the words a little on Uke. I am not entirely satisfied with what I gave you.
@srcoops Feb 5

Looking forward to your work on Uke. Thanks
@berni1954 Feb 5

Hi Chip, thanks for your positive feedback on my song "Salome and Poor John" 👌
@mikegtz Feb 5

Hiya Chip, good to see you here again. I'll be checking in on you.
@srcoops Feb 4

Take a look at Uke.
@srcoops Feb 4

Take a look at Uke.
@cindyrella Feb 4

Thanks Chip. Maybe we can find a female to do it, or maybe I can speak it-I am not much of a vocalist. Go ahead with the music if you want and we'll see.
@timfatchen Feb 2

Happy Ukulele Day!
@pfaffbrill Feb 2

Thanks for the nice comment on Mittwochs Chip!

@karlsburg25 Jan 24

Great to see you matey. Hope all going well with you and can't wait to hear your output and maybe hook up on a couple of things
@cts Jan 21

Hey Chip! Glad to see you're back in the place! You think you might be down for a little poetry night at the Jelly Factory?
@coolparadiso Jan 20

Good to see you here, heres to a great Fawm.
@oneslowtyper Jan 20

Happy New Year, Chip! I have to apologize for kicking Trump out of our state and handing him off to the good people of Florida. I'll be praying for all of you. LOL
Cheers,
John
@dzdandcunfsd Jan 17

Thanks! funky and nasty is high praise! I've done so many short little things like that this month, I plan on probably just mashing a bunch of them together. That crazy bones jam was super catchy! great tune to drink my morning(well afternoon) coffee to.
@srcoops Jan 12

84 and still kicking. Looking forward to hearing your work and maybe getting something together.
@metalfoot Jan 10

Welcome back for another year of musical merriment!
