Ah FAWM 2021. Are you a blessing not in disguise??
Welcome to a very different Karlos FAWM. Usually i am sat in a hammock in Thailand counting the days until feb 1st with iphone at the ready. Well there's positives to not doing that. Full studio, Winter english sunshine (ahem) and not spending two days getting lost on a flight over to Asia.
So seeing as I have been locked down in Merry Old England for 9 months now (longest in my post school teaching life) I have been writing, recording continuously and have released and album with another one ready to go.
Was worried my juices may be dry for FAWM but surely not 😉
I also been doing more gigs than ever online from my barn balcony in lockdown and inside (its chilly these days). Some are uploaded to youtube but its been so much fun since working out how to put logic through the live stream.
Anyway this year i am also life coach training alongside zoom music lesson teaching so will be pretty full on so am throwing myself out there as a Major collaborator this year. I may well not reach the magical 14 this year but do want to collaborate as much as poss.
So if you need a melody writing with words or not , or is you have a melody and you need music, or if you have ideas you want to throw at me to form a tune, then i am you merry freezing cold england man.
Lots to contemplate this year, but thank god we have music to keep ourselves on a positive , uplifting track.
HUGE HUGS to you all as i am feckin missing them more than most things at the moment

Hi Karlos. Great to see you back too. Listening to your BandCamp album "Forever Anicca" right now. Impressive. "Rain" is great, but I especially like "Once There Was a Way". I'm pumped now to start FAWMing.

Great to hear from you, friend. I'd love to hurl some lyrics your way to be elevated musically! Unlike you, I have had a dry pandemic in terms of songwriting, though I've bumped up my guitaring and done lots of reading and thinking. I hope the songs will come when I focus time and attention on them. Cheers!

HELLOS to you!! Great to see you and I’m looking forward to hearing your music again this year. Collaboration with you again? Of course!! I have no idea what I will do this year, but I never know. No Thailand? That is a bummer, but these are not the times for travel. We are certainly kindred spirits with travel, so I’m sure you are as bummed as we are. We will be talking. Have a great fawm!
