Hello there FAWM family,
Very sadly for me, i won't be partaking this year as am off to Thailand for 6 weeks this week. Although will have my phone with me so maybe i could be all technical and figure out how to get phone recordings on the site (last travels i had a laptop).
HOWEVER, i fully intend to comment and listen my ass off out there and Also want to reconnect with all the wondeful people of FAWM. I was a bit rubbish after last year's FAWM as had the stress of starting my own business which meant supply teaching in the day and teaching in the evening to make ends meet.
But this year i fully intend to do as many collaborations and maybe make lots of diverse albums with as many of you as possible post FAWM.
SO please message me if i contacted you about this last year or during last year or simply if you like my stuff and want to do some stuff anyway.
I have created a pre FAWM EP (so i did a mini JAWM) of 6 rather anthemic tracks so do pop along for a listen. You will also find my two released albums from 2018 there as well. YAY

Also feel free to befriend my on FACEbook as i always wanting more musical connections around this tiny world of ours.
Look forward to hearing you all and chewing the musical cud whilst in my hammock xxxx

Well I’d like to say I got on a plane to California and then we hashed it out in 24 hours in the studio with floor to ceiling windows overlooking Venice Beach.. alas, I just emailed a few lines n chords over and @iwilleatyou waved his magic wand and sent it back to me all fresh n fullformed 😀 I have no idea who Ian Rush is but I look forward to your impression when you get back 😝

Thank you fro your very kind words on "Call Me Maybe". I did 3 skirmishes the first Saturday so I was able to get a lot of songs under my belt pretty quickly.

Oh I do fancy that!! Anything you want to do. I’m glad that things are going well over there. I would love to visit that area. I’ve spent a lot of time in Central America, which is kind of a similar climate and ecology, but very different culturally. Going to the Far East from here is quite an undertaking with 2 kids. Someday though.

Karl! Thanks! Of course you always have my permission. Having my songs covered is one of the biggest honours for me (although it's only happened once, when Maddie did one of my tunes).
If you do ever do it, and you need me to send the chords, just let me know.
:: thumbs up ::
Hope all is well on your travels! -

Thanks for checking out the creepy subway song! I added some freaky guitar and remixed, so now it is about 1000 times more creepy, in case you wanted to check that out, lol. 😀

@judypie 1 week
Haha Karl, your comments always make me smile 😀 Nice to have a fan in Thailand! Don't you worry about Ad, I have a VERY vivid imagination so it's not hard for me to write songs entirely removed from reality. Plus I'm totally gonna untie him and feed him soon..

Heya Karl! Hope you're having a great time on your travels. I got your new album, but things have been stupid around here, and I've only listened to around a third of it so far. Love what I've heard, and I'll be listening to the rest soon. I'm always so impressed at how your albums actually sound like albums, unlike my own albums, which to my ears sound like demos. It's something about the depth in the sound that you manage to get, like it has that gluey quality that proper albums have.

You are quite welcome, my friend! If I can help I'd be happy to!
I recall one day reading your comment on one of my songs and your comment was as lovely as a song. You talked about sitting (in Thailand?) and having spotty internet. And then the net connection came up and you listened to my song and left a lovely comment. Such a warm FAWM memory! -
