Influences:   My influences are John Prine, Paul SImon, Bruce Cockburn and J.D. Souther for starters.

I've lived in Wisconsin my entire life with only a few brief exceptions. I started playing music back in grade school. Violin, cello and bass. Songwriting began much later. I'm trying to get better all the time. Happy FAWM to all!

  It’s been a tough one for me too. Didn’t get to 14, obviously, but I enjoyed what I wrote and learned a lot. Nice job overshooting 14 songs!

  Glad that you are hanging in there and thanks for playing the morph game. It's been my most challenging FAWM too.

  @erbaer, don't forget to let @andygetch know in the Morph thread that you're done! Nice finish. More of an entire new song.

  Okay Mr. @erbaer , morph3 is yours to finish. Here's what you have to work with: https://fawm.org/songs/97220/.

  Open to suggestions. We could either pull from the Muse or the Tarot Card Challenge. What do you think?

  Excellent, thanks! (Hey, you live near Appleton! My daughter recently graduated from Lawrence--I spent a lot of time in and around Appleton the last few years.)

  Hey @erbaer I am leaving for my trip tomorrow and will be gone all of February. You should move to the next person on the Morph list.

  Cool! Could you please post a similar 'sent along' note and link to the song in the morph thread. That way the writers after next will know their turn is coming. Thanks again!

  Hi. How is the seed song coming along for Morph 5? Any of your current FAWM songs with words and music would work. When you pick or write one please post in the Morph thread and send a note to @nateger to let him know he is up. Thanks!

  Thank you for your kind words on "Get Yourself Together" I love to drum but by no means am a drummer. I thought that one really needed more than just vocals and guitar.

  Hi Eric - I am somehow not able to work these soundboards very well. There's not some way to send e-mails that I'm not seeing, right?
  
  I've been thinking today about a song about the Midwest and about division in the country and what unites people. Something simple.... I grew up in Iowa and Minnesota but I've lived in Baltimore for about 15 years now. I've got one line that I'm turning over:
  
  The Baltimore-Ohio Railroad starts ten miles from me
  Oh why can't we see eye to eye from sea to shining sea.
  (I'm more attached to line one than line two.)

  Howdy Eric! May the songwriting begin! I’m having the going-to-work-the-first-morning-of-FAWM blues. I just want to sit down with my guitar and get started!
