[Update 2/8: My fawm21 has been upended by my brother-in-law's sudden critical stage of his illness, with my wife and I currently trekking from Maine to Virginia for what appears to be a sad vigil. I hope to keep writing lyrics when I can, then perhaps getting the music done a little later, and hopefully resuming fawm in full later in the month.--Andrew]
I feel such joy going into my 7th FAWM in 2021--and so glad to be with all of you. I also feel trepidation about starting to record and mix on Reaper, as a novice to DAW software; hopefully I can find joy buried there, too.
This year, I'll be fawming from an outpost in Maine, without all my equipment to distract me, but enough to get the job done.
I like to give and receive honest, constructive comments on songs--and regard comments given as thank-you's for those received.
I love to collaborate by writing lyrics for others to put to music. I am also glad to contribute singing (tenor lead or harmony) and guitar lead or comping, as needed. Have a great FAWM!
ASCAP. He and him.

I appreciate your comments on ‘Poverty Waltz’... I was going for the Woody Guthrie feel. I hope everything turned out okay for you in Virginia. I think we’re all just trying to keep the faith.

that's where I got the explosion on Fire in the Hole I had to set up an account, but it only took a second and so far they are not bombarding me with any emails. -
@andrewjtaylor Feb 7
Good idea! I’ll see what I can do. Thanks!

@andrewjtaylor Feb 7
I opted for something more old-fashioned & strophic in nature, but I'll think about if/how a chorus would fit in. Thanks for taking the time to listen/comment on "Little Black Box" @tiller2!

@scubed Feb 6
Thanks so much for your kind words on “Skibbereen”! (BTW, I’ve now replaced the original recording with a livelier version.)

@wacha Feb 6
Thank you for the feedback on "The Devil's Playground", I was going to write a third verse which probably would have a little more story in it but I didn't want the song to get to long.

@engebretsen Feb 6
By the way: Some guitars are also welcome if you feel to do something. Just saying.

@engebretsen Feb 6

@jonmeta Feb 1
It's great to see you back too. I don't know why you dropped off my watchlist (you're not the first or probably the last) but that's corrected now. Thanks for remembering "Og", a particularly silly one but memorable, I guess! Happy FAWMing.

@wacha Jan 12
Hey, glad to see you're back. I'm looking forward to hearing your songs as well!
Reaper has a bit of a learning curve but if you stick with it it's totally worth it. It's really changed my music making for the better. -
