Influences: almost everything (OK I love Tom Waits, the Beatles and David Bowie. I have loved Bob Dylan, but confess I haven't listened to a lot of his later years stuff. Love old jazz and folk music, jug band, 50s, 60s, 80s, Patti Smith, the Ramones, Yo La Tengo, Dandy Warhols, and so many others.)
I've only been writing songs for about 3 years and not super prolifically. It's something I never thought I would do. But I started taking up the ukulele in 2012 and somehow it just happened! This is my first FAWM. I did it! Can't believe it.
Songs back up and should be listenable 3/16 for now.

Glad you liked my "Neighbors from Hell".... er…. the song at least 😜
The variety of your songs was great-silly to serious. Its good to have both humor and gravity. Some of the imagery was really fantastic especially in Merrimack! Wonderful month for you!!
Congratulations on hitting 14 songs on your first year! The first year is frequently the toughest.
Leslie, make sure you know about the scheduling of the Massachusetts FAWM After Zoom gathering: https://fawm.org/forums/topic/10987/#c246284
