Thank you for the kind words about my song Don't Get Caught. Much appreciated.
@ttg105 4 weeks

Thanks for the MFP comment ... I had never heard of Jimmy Spheeris, so I checked him out. "I am the Mercury" is the exact sound I'm shooting for! Alternate tunings, dreamy vocals, etc. Thanks!

@billysea 5 weeks

Good morning. Thanks for stopping by and listening to my late entries into the FAWM 2020 fun 😀
@cicpisces 5 weeks

@jamkar Hi we're paired in the collab. I have several unused lyrics if you want to pick one.
Or I can write something fresh.
@barbara 6 weeks

That would be so cool! Go to town with whatever pleases you.
@barbara 6 weeks

Hi Mike! Yes, by all means and thank you. I’m eager to see what you will make from them. I know my phrasing is little different from what might be usual, and what I’ve fit in there might not seem to scan to others, so you can adjust if needed.
@headfirstonly 6 weeks

Mike - I'm conscious that I haven't been by to give your stuff a listen recently. I will remedy that!
@billwhite51 6 weeks

thats good enough reason for david goodis
@scubed 6 weeks

Thanks so much for your kind comment on “The Hummingbirds Return”! All those major 7th chords do give it a 70s vibe, don’t they? I didn’t remember “Magnolia” until I went back to listen, but it is indeed a lovely, lovely song.
@karlsburg25 6 weeks

Ha ha the wonders of being back in my little studio instead of being in a hammock 😉
@karlsburg25 6 weeks

Thank you so much for the comment on my and cynthia's collab and i will take it as a massive compliment that you think my vocals sound like Cynthia singing 😉 . Its ok i am rather feminine with my vocality on occassions 😉 Still can't spell though!!
@jorh 6 weeks

Yes definitely 😀
@jorh 6 weeks

I know but it works so well with the message of the lyric, I love them unexpected touches sometimes 😀 the whole thing sounds great tho, really like what you’ve done with it!!
@jorh 6 weeks

Hey,
Thanks for setting what do you do to music. It sounds really great!! Love how you lingered on the ‘do’s like a cry for help, and your voice sounded fab! The crackle in the recording also added character, almost like the vocal was muffled from water 😀
@musicsongwriter 7 weeks

It was a pleasure Mike.

@kristi 7 weeks

Mike, I would be very happy to have you add music to my "million" lyric!
@barbara 7 weeks

!! Thank you for that wonderful comment, Mike.
@jorh 7 weeks

Hey,
Glad you liked the song - I was secretly hoping this one would get music so it would be an honour. You have a great voice and sense of melody so I know it’s in good hands. Also I’m always happy for people to tweak my words / add personal touches as that’s what collaborating is all about 😀

@dragondreams Feb 6

Aww. Thank you so much, Mike. 😊
@aesthetic72 Feb 3

Hi there! Thanks so much for your comment on When the Night Falls. If you'd like to work out some keys to add, you can email me at aesthetic.seventytwo@gmail.com. Cheers!
@musicsongwriter Feb 2

Thank you Mike. Sadly not Roland. I'm afraid one of my students pushed it down by mistake and not right away but soon after that 8 notes stopped playing. I have a tiny keyboard Akai MPK mini which I then adjust via fl studio tweaking the sounds and sometimes adding the notes in other octaves as it has a tiny range of notes from C3 till C5. It does have some pads but I prefer using the notes. The keys are tiny. Anyway, it is fun to create music with it and of course from time to time I use my trusty upright piano. Thank you for your support.

Thanks for commenting, much appreciated! It was particularly short, but a real life typical delivery would have taken hours 😂

Thank you. Looking forward to hearing what you get up to, too! 😀
@klaus Jan 21

Hi Michael. Yes, my grandfather's fur hat is very warm. I can feel it melting my brain a bit. But luckily for me, music comes from the heart. Have a great Fawm.

Wishing you the same, Mike! A tailor-made, custom version of FAWM for this year’s you! 😊
@writeandwrong Jan 16

Bring on the FAWM!! WHooohOOooO! Have a great one, Mike! 😀
@tiller2 Jan 16

Thanks, my friend. Turned out I had nasal/sinus polyps, which I had removed endoscopically last fall. Hoping they won't come back; things are good now.
@tiller2 Jan 15

Welcome back, Jamkar. And please accept my apology for disappearing from 50/90 without recording the vocal for you and Maddie. I was getting recurrent sinus infections that affected my voice. But I should have let you know. Sorry.
@tsunamidaily Jan 14

have the best FAWM this year!
@metalfoot Jan 13

Yes! That January feeling of an approaching FAWM...
@andygetch Jan 13

Hey Michael, here we go ........
@scottlake Jan 13
