18 Mar 2021 Well, yes, full time caring as cyborg wife gets her new knee working (and physios are horrified that we have stairs). Done a tiny bit of listening, and finished the last collab (@sheilerk are you listening!!) which isn't up yet, but otherwise dead-in-water. It's been a good FAWM!
12 March 2021 All a bit frenzied with cleanups, hospital visits, furniture moving to suit a recovering cyborg, and a week of intensive caring coming up, so I'm now effectively dead in the water. I'll try to get to those still here I haven't yet heard, but it's basically going to fade away after today.
9 March 2021. I'm now officially married to a cyborg as Deb's knee replacement operation today was successful with no issues . Relief.
7 March 2021 About 400 comments left now and I'm about commented out. Problem is, listening/reading, one comes across really good things that spur you on. But I'm running out of time and the theatre is almost empty (when I get a bit bored, I switch to the FAWMers list and shoot the usual two or three per hour of spammers trying to come in through the bathroom window)
.6 March 2021 Okay, a moon voyage with Liz Petty that turned out okay, and another two thoughts which might or might not happen, depending on what the lyricists say. And lots of listening: I'm listened out for tonight...
5 March 2021 Catching up on my listening I wa away for two weeks, remember!) and I keep hitting lyrics I'd like to set but whenever I try out, it's cliche. I think I need to stop songwriting and concentrate on music for a while. At least I've cleaned u[p the worst shambles of recorders in the Black Hole. Now I have to find my original drawings from 1999 to develop the youtube vid of the whole thing...
3 Mar 2021 I've just been released from a @frogspawn induced period of sensory deprivation--two days he trapped me-- I can now go back to listening/reading, which will run for about a fortnight, I think, as I have a wife turning into a cyborg next week and need to stay around for her recovery.
1 Mar 2021 A mad scramble and i was able to complete FAWM, and my outstanding collabs, before midnight local time on the 28th Feb. Huzzah! But then @heavyhedonist belatedly appeared and there was a song that dragged me to the keyboard and recording gear. Still, not at the IDL yet so my conscience is clear.
26 Feb 2021 Yes the boat is back in the water. And I've got two days to finish FAWM in. Cripes. Ah well.
23 Feb 2021 Another 2 week FAWM. I should be able to DO something in two days' time. Right now, finishing the boat refit in the boatyard, and as the boatyard lads share tales, I learn I'm sitting in the midst of The Little Boatyard of Horrors. Broken dreams, overwrought expectations, greed, usury, corruption,stupidity...there is something that boats, especially big boats, do to the mind. I'm saving all that for 5090!
11 Feb 2021 The plumbing and bathroom are done (well, almost), the electrics happen tomorrow, am I free to go back writing and listening? Well, no, there's a boat to refit and re-insure before the next COVID problems hit and delay the now urgent repair longer. I will get one last week in February, by the looks... And perhaps this edit might stay up, if I hit right key for a change...
8 Feb 2021 I WROTE THIS ALREADY! Try to remember. Hiatus, yes, I'm falling behind on my listening, all work in progress is progressing backwards, anxiety and critical renovation work all happening at once. I'll see if I can break free for the 2 (later) days remaining to me between now and about Feb 23. At least I made a good starting run...
7 Feb 2021 Looks like a hiatus coming: fabrication needed tomorrow, Tuesday plumber, then prep for boat slipping which takes me away at the end of the week for a week. So I'm just having to throw things out there, especially things which are intended to be bigger things and which I've already spent half a yet-more-crises ridden day on without getting anywwhere. No even listening. Sigh...
5 Feb 2021 Today was supposed to be a serious recording session. But it became a meal of worms involving council rates, tenancy questions, tilers behind in tiling, plumbers ringing, COVID problems in the family, travel disruptions and all the other things one expects when sitting down to a planned recording session. Then Cheryl the morning coffee addict @writeandwrong put up a coffee meme which promptly finished the derailment of the intended day's recording, So one song which I thought I'd whip out before starting the main job which never got started, and one cranky coffee song I had no intention of writing let alone recording.
4 Feb 21 As expected, life is getting in the way. With a small window to record tonight, I blew it all on the Cruise Ship, which just sort of ate me. Far too long on it, even though there's only a couple of takes for the multiple instruments. The _intent_ was just to churn out a roughie. There's something about Andrew's lyrics though that tug at you, and I love this song. Perhaps tomorrow I can record what I intended. Then back to listening again!
3 Feb 21 Almost all spent listening to the ukulele offerings #fuc of world uke day which I'd forgotten until prodded. Some amazing stuff there. And it's only day 3 of FAWM for me! Just as well, though because all my FAWM plans have unravelled with lots of demands on my time. So I'm listening and writing as much as I can now. Cos I might not be able to later.
Still 2 Feb: MY GRAND PIANO! I've been reminded that my grand piano, in need of refit and restringing, will outlive me. Built in 1880, it's at 141 years and can go forever because the tuning system is entirely ironmongery, no wood anywhere. I've had it 56 years... I use it but not here, there's one string needs replacing, tuning could be picked up but mainly its tuned a quartertone down so's not to upset the old strings, some VERY old. It's not cross-strung (John Brinsmead & Sons) so should be good for recording but I only now have the gear to do so. Pianos are a nightmare to record...
Feb 2021 Ambushed by @scubed, it's WORLD UKULELE DAY, I'm reminded. So a desperate uke song as I've already been exposed re my studio somewhere on fb. But the Black Hole series has started very happily, if not wholly in unison. I'll continue on.
1 Feb 2021 FAWM is here! I did get one sad little instrumental out in the v v small hours, matched my mindset. House reno stuff only chewed up the morning. So having committed top recorders, I tried setting the first bit of the Black Hope of Pt Sturt and it WORKED! So that's recordered. oops. And there's a short three-stanza I've come up with, so that'll be a hat trick for starting: Instrumental, setting an existing lyrics, entirely new lyric and music. I should dismiss late night miseries and forebodings, right?
31 Jan 2021 GREAT plans for midnight tonight except...have to be up early Monday and out re house renos elsewhere. Ah Well, Mice and Men. Best laid plans etc. And the boat slipping in mid-Month looms large in my mind. Lets see what can be done,,,
30 Jan 2021 Oh wow, a HUGE shout out and plug in The Australian today (national newspaper) courtesy of motoring writer John Connolly. And now Flying Tadpole's Travelling Blues Band is getting some local play on local non-commercial radio.
28 Jan 2021 Hey, my profile is now Adelaide! I was soooo enjoying Barbados. How'd that happen?
27 Jan 2021 So tell me, how many other people in the world today while uncovering their septic tank (a) wipe out an entire ant city (b) get bitten by the local lizard for taking the roof off its refuge?
26 Jan 2021 New disasters hit, hope they won't muck up February too badly. OTOH the opera Ngurunderi is moribund but not yet dead. We'll see.
18-22 Jan 2021 MONDAY I'm dragged out of retirement and driven Adelaide-Innamincka up the Strzelecki Track by a madman in a Ford Courier with the AC not working.
TUESDAY I'm marching round and round a part-rehabilitated failed geothermal bore in century heat trying to remember what I used to do.
WEDNESDAY I'm driven back down the Strzelecki by the same madman who has wholly failed to repair his AC with WD40.
THURSDAY I'm chained to a computer till midnight, desperately trying to work software I haven't used for years. And banned from all alcohol until the report has gone.
One day of grace on Friday 22nd.
"quick thousand kloms up
yes, the desert is blooming
quick thousand kloms back"
17 Jan 21 The sailing was appropriate re physical terror and now the boat REALLY needs her 12 months overdue refit. And I'm off the internet yet again now, en route for Innamincka in the desert, a ghost from my past come knocking. Only for a few days though.
12 Jan 21 Gone sailing with grandson, two nights. All teenagers should have a few days of physical terror in their lives.
11 Jan preparing for 2 nights on boat with grandson, must take food...no internet...!!
Must take vodka...
11 Jan Just back from a mad dash to daughter in mountains, in case borders closed yet again. Left Monday, returned to border Sunday: as of Wednesday no entry without a number which is supposed to be sorted 7 days before use! Sigh.
My partner, colleague, defender and wife still vaguely wishes for a quiet and uninteresting life. It's the one thing I'm powerless to give her.

Hi Tim. Desperate last-minute "thank you"s are the best kind. 😀 It's so weird to have so little time to listen and comment. On the other hand, I never hang around after February. I always meant to but Fawm is so intense. 50/90 has always been my favorite. Cheers!

Hi Tim. Thanks for taking the time to comment on my lyrics-only placeholder for "Come In From the Cold"
Believe it or not, I've been desperately trying to work on coming up with music for it but the Muse is slow to give me anything. Then I had a conversation with my mother just the other day that... well, it was disheartening to say the least. She is not the person I remember her to be and it breaks my heart to think about it.
Thank you again. -

Oh, I wasn't trying to make some obscure dig against Adelaide, just lamenting the general lack of harpsichord venues in the modern world. Enjoying FAWM songs with a drink after work can mean the occasional cryptic (and not particularly helpful) comment. Sorry, Tim!
Pretty decent harpsichord on your Privia. Complements the recorder well. I needed some baroque instrument samples for a project last year, so I'm looking for an excuse to shoehorn harpsichord into everything now. (Possibly compensating for my childhood: apparently I once defaced a harpsichord leg with a crayon.) -

Hey Tim, - thanks for the listen! And comment!
It sounds like?, - you may be referring to some thread challenge? I was a bit confused; but, hey, I get that.
- Actually, long before that thread "challenge", there had already been Christian Christmas songs posted; not many since they don't get looked at and less and less over time, that circle of folks I know have commented.
However, the "issue" if there is one for some folks, - is that we don't have a "Holiday" ? concerning Muhammad (Islam), God of the Old Testament - "Jews", Buddha (a philosophy), Hinduism, Druidry, etc. Why? (rhetorical)
- I am glad every day, I am whom I am. However, when folks get intentionally, aggressive to facilitate krappolla about "it", - Christianity, "fake Christians" 😀 hahhh, - well, I can at least toss one in for the Lord 😀 or just me. (Not that He needs me to defend Him, - no, they'll get theirs from Him... I've popped popcorn and set aside beer for that "show" 😀 I think it's coming soon, from what I see.)
So, Happy FAWMOVER!!
And Happy Christ' Mass! (You said one time long ago, "Methodist", Organist?) I love those, - "part of the back wall" built into the building Organs! 😀 what a sound!)
PS: I hope wifey is doing well! -
@nadine 5 weeks
Thanks for stopping by and commenting my songs. You're right about the piano vocal lines. That's the trouble I have as songwriter when the whole song comes into mind... in most cases I'm open to other phrasing. Sometimes singer come up with great hooks and sometimes I feel like mine was better. It's difficult. At least I didn't write a rap on my own this time though I had already half of it in mind. I figured out that these guys and gals have their very own flow and techniques.
I'm psyched about the collabs! -

Tim, I've heard 3 of yours so far, I don't want to waste 10 minutes working out how many of mine you've heard this month. I'm thinking maybe 2 (?). I'll trade you whatever you haven't heard, 1 for 1. If you're interested, let me know the amount.

Tadders! You leave the kindest comments on--apparently, everything. Thank you for being so constantly and consistently supportive! I, too, wish it wasn't so demanding on me, although Mike (of debenham fame) recently pointed out that using Audacity for complex multitrack stuff is probably slowing me down a whole lot, too, so who knows? Maybe switching to a different DAW will make it easier.
I hope the Debborg is doing okay after her surgery. <3 -

Hi, Tim! Thank you for your kind words on Late and One More. I got your message and I would love for you to take a crack at the music for Late. I’ve been hunkering down trying to get my demos in check, so any bit of help would be fantastic! Can’t wait to check your stuff out, too!

Thanks, Tim, for the input on Courageous Dirty Work. We are in that point in life where cleaning things up in every way can only be good for us and for those we love. As I think about how I'd like to be remembered, I'd like to maybe tidy a few things up so that someday I will have become the person I would aspire to, with less complications and only focusing on what really matters, even though at this point, so many of life's big questions have been resolved. Doing more tidying up can lead to a more peaceful existence to offset whatever may not have transpired. I so much appreciate your thoughts.

@rainchaser 6 weeks
Thank you for commenting on my song, "Please Treat Me Better". I very much appreciated it! It's due to poor time management that I haven't been putting out this fawm. Some unexpected things did happened to me that distracted me this year.
I also appreciate your thoughts and sympthies on my past FAWM and 5090 experiences. I have pretty much forgotten those grudges by now I think. Also, thank you for your encouragement on for me to move on, I very much appreciated that!
Also, sorry I didn't comment soon enough unfortunately I had to deal with hardships this month which were unexpected! -

Thank you for all of your help and advice over the years. Although we're not in regular contact, you have been one of the most helpful people in regards to my music. I remember always being apologetic about my voice and how much my songs sucked, and although I still struggle in lots of areas, you've been so helpful.
Thank you! -
@petemurphy 6 weeks
Yes, Tim. I say definitely do it.
I ended up giving Lyns so many songs that they wouldn't fit on a CD. I put them on one of those little usb thumb drives (so she could listen on her laptop, or put it in the slot we have in the car).
It was very well received. She really loved it, so thank you for your encouragement.
I say... Yes yes yes!!!
I hope it all goes ok with your wife's surgery. -

death is romantic to the young, when it is still abstract and far off, and provides hefty metaphors for the both the collapse of trivial love affairs and the eternal vows of true love. as we near death, we withdraw into memory to distance ourselves. from the now unpleasant reality of the theme.

Running out was intentional, as a test to see whether I need it, or just want it. Because if I have it, I drink it. (Don't seem to need it, more like I get bored waaay too easily.) -

Thank you so much for your generous comments on “Wolf Song”! As for the wolf bark, that came about because I’m not much of a whistle player. 😁 At about 3:40, there’s a spot where I flubbed a note. I decided I liked the effect, so I didn’t clean it up.

Hi Tim Fatchen. This is just a quick note because I've seen you talk about borders. Is that between South Australia and Victoria or something? because of covid? I just finished a book by Bill Bryson called In a Sunburnt Country, about traveling around Australia, and thought I'd mention it, if you haven't read it, you might like to, it is full of fascinating facts and sometimes he can be very very funny.

Hiya Tim! So glad I am retired I have more money than I had before - and I'm not quite as stressed out, though it's no fun having to stay close to home!

@timfatchen, which “clever lyric”? Do you mean the bit in the forum thread where I riffed on you post? If so, I’m just glad it was received in the spirit I intended. As far as I’m concerned you wrote it, I just edited out the stuff that that didn’t fit the melody.
But if you put it to music, it’ll put a smile on me. -

Thanks for commenting on Why did you bury me only 2 feet down. Though it is peculiar that you commended word for word of the guy who commented before you. Bizarre. So bizarre.
