Artist Bio
Influences: Anything that makes me laugh, cry, or feel anything....and my FAWMily!
I am a little late to the party this year.
I have not been feeling music until FAWM started.
Besides Covid, health stuff, etc, I thought I had nothing left to say and I was ok about it. I have been doing dotted Mandala Art and have really gotten into it.
Then Feb 1,my body and soul reminded me
it was time for FAWM.
So glad to be here for my 13th FAWM
Looking forward to reconnecting and making new FAWMily
My music is mostly bluesy-jazzy, with some Django thrown in. I like to mix it up with a little comedy now and then
Love collabs and skirmishes.
**UPDATE February 27th **
After having a good start here in my 13th year, I got Carotid artery surgery on the 9th and figured i would be recording by Valentine's day.
Just a few days ago my singing voice started coming back.
Miraculously I got to end FAWM in a joyous song.
I wish I could have had the whole experience, but happy that I participated.
I will be listening to more of the great music I had listened to pre surgery. I love FAWM

So glad you enjoyed "I'm Leaving" with @cynthiawolff Those vocal effect were so cool and that was Cynthia singing! She ran with this one. I was happy to supply the lyrics for her. I did that twice this FAWM and it's liberating and exciting to see what someone else comes up with. xxos

My Sister!!!!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful journey with me. I went all the way there and that final piece, when you became one with your ancestor repeating a ritual that was based purely on the elements at hand..a primal revelation indeed. So glad you enjoyed Timeless Time. That's exactly what I was going for! -

@kathym Mar 8
I'm still catching up on sending thank you notes for your having stopped by my song "When it Snows". I am so touched by the support and comments this song has gotten. I played this at a zoom open mic even though it's not quite polished and it was well received. I will be back in touch if I get the demo up in case anyone is around to listen. Your time and support mean so much to me and I really appreciate your having taken time for me, Sherry!

@gm7 Mar 7
Thx so much for listen to not one, but three of my songs..so kind.
appreciate it. -
@oswlek Mar 7
Thank you so much for your generous comment on "Candles", Sherry. Yes, those verses are tricky. You'd think I'd just write something a little easier to deliver, but that's what fell out so I ran with it. 😄

@cindyrella Mar 6
Thanks for your comments!

@tamsnumber4 Mar 6
I didn't know "GORGEOUS" until I met you girl....Thanks for that, you are something special!!!

@iwilleatyou Mar 2
Thanks Sherry! Another FAWM completed! We'll see if I get to 2022. I may take a year off so maybe 2023. Or 5150.

@hummingbear Mar 2
Hi Sherry! I didn't know about the surgery, but read your update. Glad you're better! A friend had what I think was the same surgery, expected it to go smoothly, but had voice problems for several weeks. They completely resolved, it was just a bit of a detour. Wishing you a full recovery too!
-
@petemurphy Feb 28
Hi Sherry! So sorry, I didn't know you'd had surgery. I hope your recovery goes as smoothly as possible. Thank you for the message. Yeah, I've posted quite a bit of stuff, but a lot of it (especially what I've done in the last couple of weeks) is just experimental messing around, 'cause I've felt pretty rough, both physically and mentally (and it's come to light that I may have been living with Asperger's syndrome my whole life, but it went undiagnosed due to some of the other issues I have).
But anyway, enough rambling about me. I wish you well. You know I love what you do, and love your incredibly soulful voice and songs. Much love. All the best ❤️ -
@barbara Feb 28
Hi Sherry! I'm so glad you made it back in time for the closing bell! We'll have March to reconnect. Regarding Black Orpheus, no... I am very Orpheus ignorant; just a Wikipedia synopsis understanding. Perhaps I can dig it up on the internet? Meanwhile, wishing you an excellent continuing recovery!!
-
@sunnymae Feb 28
You made a great comeback you Diva you!! So great to hear you singing that last tune. Enjoy listening and catching up with friends. We're all still here. Probably will be going strong in the forums at least through March. Luv ya... xxsonya

@oddbod Feb 24
Hi Sherry - are you still about and are you up for a bit of a challenge?
-
@sunnymae Feb 18
Wow Sherry...thank you. 😀 There's nothing nicer than being acknowledged by a fellow friend and peer. I'm so glad you stopped by for a listen. Keep getting better. You have so much love from this wacky group of ours. I wouldn't trade the world for FAWM February...well maybe a houseboat in the Greek Isles, but there'd always be the internet. xoxos
-
@wolfkier Feb 18
Thank you. Hoping that made you feel a little better, my friend. 😀
-
@wolfkier Feb 17
I saw that you were in hospital and need a bit of Valentine's tuneage.
I hope you're feeling better and will be back posting soon.
Here's a little datenite moment for you. Hope you enjoy.

Hey Sherry it's a pleasure listening to you. If I can squeeze in something with you that would be good.
-
@timfatchen Feb 9
All the best for tomorrow Sherry. I have looked at A Dream of Destiny and would like to try, btu I'm behind the eight ball until the last week. Is that okay by you?
-
@oddbod Feb 9
Hey Sherry - sorry things are a little hectic with collabs - I got a big "to do" list so listening was partly taking a back seat.
-
@hoppiern Feb 9
Sending you love and best wishes - hope you like your song 😀 https://fawm.org/songs/115498/

@sunnymae Feb 9
Hey Sherry I know you're going in tomorrow. Sending you lots of healing light for swift and successful surgery. You got this and we got you! Going to check out your Twist on twisted.💜💜

@musicsongwriter Feb 7
Hi Sherry, that will be awesome. Thank you so much. I'm looking forward to collaborating with you. Please pm me if you would like I can send you my MP3 or wav file.

@jonmeta Feb 7
I think I’ve got something! A bit more uptempo swing this time. I’m taking a break right now and then will send you a scratch track with the melody I have, and one with just chords so you modify the melody as you wish. Range is F below Mid C to F above with a lot of the melody centering around the D. I’ll probably send a second chords track transposed a whole step down so you can choose what feels better. Or anywhere else you want so it fits your voice. Will try to get it to you in the next couple hours at your gmail, so you have Sunday evening to work on it.
-
@the3queens Feb 7
Thanks Sherry! Likewise, I know from FB you've had your share of difficulties this year. May we get a break this year!
-
@jonmeta Feb 6
Sherry, thanks for such encouraging comments. You’re really sweet. I’m sorry about the surgery thing but hopefully the end result will be worth it and you’ll be even stronger after recovery. I will sit down at the piano tomorrow and maybe what starts as noodling will take on a life of its own and become something worth singing to. I’ll tell the Muse that it’s a medical emergency 😉
-
@barbara Feb 5
Hi Sherry! Welcome back, sister.
Reading your liner notes, that “nothing left to say” feeling resonates. Or maybe it’s more like “I’m tired of saying *that*, and I don’t know what else there is.
But, I fully expect to blossom forth at some point, cuz that’s what FAWM does! I’m happy you heeded the call to come... -
@iwilleatyou Feb 5
Either I'm drinking too much or your last post is reverse yoda talk. Wait, that would make it normal right? Nevermind. I'm getting a beer.
-
@jessicagraae Feb 5
Thanks for your comments on my songs. Yes, Bud light is the lowest of lows. Truth be told, it's Coors light that people drink around here.
I am so glad you are here- and know you have lots more to say! -
@iwilleatyou Feb 5
Heeeey! You're not doing anything *I* wouldn't do I hope.
-
@jonmeta Feb 4
Yay! Yeah, let's do it. I could do a couple instrumentals like last time, and send them. Are you happy workign that way? Or send me somethign in progress that you trust me with.
-
@mikeskliar Feb 4
