Hey, ready to go. Hope you all are making it through the miasma in the best way possible.
Like everyone I've had a weird year; been out of work since June, passed the Real Estate exam, waiting on the license, which will probably come through around the beginning of Feb. so my time may be limited for FAWM in Feb. For this reason, for the first time, I'm going to do some prep work in Jan.
Hey a set up a challenge in the forums give it a whirl https://fawm.org/forums/topic/10925/
2/11/21 11 days in been pretty productive, but not writing as many lyrics as I would like to , so that will be the focus.
Found some really good songs, that I'm putting here so I can find them again.

Hi - Just in case you are checking in before the site goes down, I haven't been on much lately, but for future reference, my email is Nitefire5@aol.com. If you send a note, put FAWM in the subject line so I know it's from a fawmer. I'm also on facebook under Kathy Moran in CT. Be well, stay safe, and thanks for everything.

Hey if you’re into African beats and such, I really like some of what a band called Mestizo Beat is doing.......as well as Antibalas, the Budos Band, and The Dap Kings, but you probably know those.

Thanks for chiming in on the tit4tat thread. If I understand it, you'd rather not be on the list, is that right?
anyone can play independently without a firm commitment, just (maybe) leave a #tit4tat hashtag with your comment and add you're only going 1 for 1 slowly. I know a lot of people don't always refer to forums, and might miss you particular preference, and Im gonna post a new (updated) list so everyone playing gets one later today to keep momentum going through the weekend. -

Hello, Pipewrench67! Thank you for your comment! The relaxing thing with Low UV, I guess, is that there is a very reduced risk of skin cancer. The unsettling thing is that it keeps feeding that depression that in the end can only be dispelled by a dangerously High UV.

@pipewrench67 God bless you a thousand times over!!!
Thank you for working on 'This Darkness' I'd love to see it evolve to a song so please go ahead and interpret it anyway you'd like.
I do not have much knowledge about music or singing so I really can't visualize my work as a song, so go ahead and let me know any changes you'd want me to make.
Once again, thank you very much and sending you a big massive virtual bear hug!!! You made my day brighter 😀 -

Thanks for checking!! If I touch the menu icon of the browser (not the website) at top right it has a drop down menu panel. Scroll down and one of the options is "Desktop site". If I have that box ticked I can access the edit and report abuse links. Otherwise I cannot. And the desktop mode is not as nice on mobile.

@johnstaples 6 weeks
Thanks for checking that. On my android turning sideways, touching my post, nothing ever triggers those links to appear. I wonder if you are in desktop mode? Or if my Android Chrome browser just won't do that?

I totally get it, I made a mess of my last skirmish host and caused a lot of confusion because I made a copy and paste error. I had mismanaged my time and was wolfing down my dinner when my computer crashed just before the skirmish was supposed to state.

It's 5pm Sunday here so I'm gonna go do the walk the dog, run some errands thing - always keen to bounce ideas if you're keen though, whether that's later tonight (depending on how late you stay up) or another day in a coincidental both-awake time 😀 thank you for offering!

@postcardhelicopters 7 weeks
I'm really dumb.
I see now that I probably should've waited until March to post that backing track. I've updated the post to explain more clearly. I added the details of the song with the thought that if someone didn't have to spend a lot of time figuring that stuff out they could just hit "play" sit back and noodle along, knowing where the best slot would be.
I apologize for the poor phrasing of my post. -

@bradbrubaker Feb 12
Hey! I appreciate you thinking of me, but I'm afraid that much back-and-forth isn't quite what I have time for. My time for FAWM for the rest of the month is short bursts, mostly finishing up pieces I've begun in my wide open first half of the month and few forum challenges (including a random collab, which will have to be somewhat quick). Sorry.

Eh, lyrics, per se. I spoke a little over my track, but in a way that fit the structure of the music. Last line was "This flower was so full of life it could never die."

Oh I read about St. Bakhita and Oatmeal Day and human trafficking for more than an hour 😁 I'll for sure at least tag something if some songs inspired by pop up, and will mark the time for next skirmish. It was a great prompt 😁

@complexissimple Feb 7
I find that my skirmish writes are both better and faster when I do go down a research rabbit hole. Otherwise I quickly get stuck because I bore myself if I can't come up with some kind of twist on my first concept.
Also, of course I didn't plan ahead what I was going to write for the skirmish, that would be CHEATing :le gasp:. -
@nicolascage Feb 7
I'll tell you this: Animated pictures are a certain kind of delight for me to make, if only that I get to experience them with a certain freshness that I don't typically get to experience. I just read into a microphone, and sometime later, an entire world has been created around me.

Thanks for giving my "Salome and Poor John" a listen. I Just saved the Salome Silent Film to my Watch Later list. That's a MUST - I had no idea it still existed as a film outside private collections.
I was privileged to see Lindsay Kemp's version in London many moons ago. Despite being a "sound" version (live theatre usually is apart from mime 😉 ) Kemp managed to capture the overboard theatricality of this version and the costumes had a similar unsettling effect on the audience too. Thanks for the link. -
