I run a weekly songwriting class for the city I live in. In the past, some of my songwriting friends have participated in FAWM. I mentioned this to my weekly group and a few of them have signed up. So I decided to do it as well.

For the month of February my aim is to write the score for the musical I am working on based on the Medusa story.

Shout outs to @ductapeguy and @moonraccoon for being the trailblazers and @mrgee1952 @rangermike @nibor and @kaibigan19 for inspiring me to sign up this year.

  Thanx for your comment on my "Stabby Emperor" tune.
  I actually have taught History in the past, and always tried to make it as interesting as possible. 😀

  Thank you for your lovely comments! I do not have a musical theater background but, oddly enough, you’re the second person to ask me that this week. Maybe I missed my calling?

  @jackketch Feb 11

  Thanks very much for your nice comments about our songs. We both are obsessed with Twin Peaks so what you said made our day.

  Thanks for commenting on "Little House Beside the Sea." Yup, snuggery is as useful a word as hygge.

• 

  @moonraccoon  Feb 10

  I know! I thought, "'Snuggery'? Welp, I'm always down with a great made-up word." AND IT'S A REAL WORD. Occasionally I think the world might be okay after all.

  Hi again 😀 I re-recorded the first song again, using my video camera and other stuff. Sounds a bit better than the first attempt.

  @moonraccoon  Feb 5

  Thank-you! Last night at the bar, the choir fade-out felt serendipitous. I dunno about further world-building, though. I have focus issues.

  Thanks for the venue suggestion, cheers!

  I love making music with and for my kids. My family -- wife and kids alike-- is one of my biggest inspirations for music making, and when I can make a silly little song like the Oatmeal one, it makes everyone's day a little brighter.

  Hahaha - that was one 35min+ take, whittled down to the passable bits. (My poor poor callousless fingies.)

  @leleyukon  Feb 3

  What a good venue to play in Barrie? I was thinking Flying Monkey might be ok?
