Influences: Not sure. I've listened a lot to music by Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, but I tend to be more drawn to a song, rather than the performer, if I like a song I really don't mind who wrote it or performs it.
Live in UK. This is my fourth FAWM, the first year I joined but posted no songs.
This year I'll just write songs and see what happens.

Hi Frances, we've survived the heat so far (Hottest day ever! Yay us!) I'm struggling to write songs because my wife is having network issues at work and has been working at home for the last week. They're saying it will be a couple more weeks before they're fixed. So, except for the odd occasion when she goes out, there's no songwriting allowed! I have a couple of songs to post, but unless they sort out the technical problems I'll just be writing lyrics for the rest of the month.
Thanks again Frances, you are glutton for punishment. ๐ But you are right I'm beginning to enjoy BiaB more.
Thank you for your kind comment. <3

Thank you so much for the kind comments on "Chinese New Year," Frances! Looking forward to coming back to see what you've been up to. I realized when I woke up to the flurry of comments about how abruptly the song ended that I accidentally cut off the outro (with time signature change!) when exporting. I have fixed it, along with the bass thing that was bothering me ๐

Hi Frances, thank you for the encouraging words on โI Plead Wintergreenโ, much appreciated!
Thank you for the lovely comments frances and yes I actually know hundreds of tourists appreciate her and love her for what she is and how she works. Itโs more a reflection as I know many people think , wow how lucky is she living and working in such a beautiful area . Very few see how much work it is , 7 days a week all hours of the day . I love the human spirit that keeps smiling and that is her gift to everyone ๐๐ป
Thanks Frances, I have listened to Gibraltar Hill, but need to hear it again before comment.
Thanks Frances- i really appreciate your kind & insightful words in listening to my banjo song ' I have travelled long and far '. Its so great to meet supportive people on this site like your good self . Thankyou kindly
Thanks for listening to Window Seat. Ummmm, to be honest I just wrote and didnโt think too much about it. Which is funny because always overthink songs. Glad it added a little mystery for you!
Thankyou for your kind comments on my lyrics, it is much appreciated
Thanks for listening Frances, my guitar and voice have been gatherin dust.

Thanks for the welcome Frances. Hope you're ready to roll (cracks knuckles, trims fingernails). All the best to you.
Thanks for your message Frances. I have my rock hands mainly as thanks for last year's FAWM. I've recorded the songs I wrote now and am going to release the album this Sunday under a new band name 'The Family Grave' over here https://thefamilygrave.bandcamp.com/ (and also have another FAWM-inspired album to record this year) so whether I have the energy to do FAWM again this year we'll see!
Yes, the placeholders got all demoed and even un-zonged. But it was hard, the pressure, knowing that the site could be reset at any time. But now it's done.
So let's get back to this years Fawm. Thanks for the message. I wish you a merry February Album Writing Month. I look forward to hearing your new songs.
Thank you, Frances, for the comments on Broken Cookies. It was a crazy weekend for me but now it's done. I'm still planning on doing a Black Midi song sometimes because of Monochrome. Thank you again and I'll see you soon.
