2020 is my 9th FAWM, and I have done the 50/90 8 times. Have made it past 14 the last 2 years. I hope to write a few short songs, maybe that is cheating a bit but I like having some short songs for gigging, a musical equivalent of one-liners, to throw into the mix.
I write some comedy songs, some just whatever songs (most usually have a "gentle humour"), sometimes a kids' song and maybe some short instrumentals and sketches. I like writing songs about everyday things.
Some songs are recording-only songs that I couldn't possibly do live but I also try to get some "keepers" for live gigs (where I perform mostly in the context of comedy nights with "original comedy singalong songs" or my favourite gigs - with friends round a campfire) ...
I have no idea what will come out of this month and I'm looking forward to some games, skirmishes and challenges.
Most of all I just like being part of it.

Thank you for your feedback on Ford Galaxie, Go Betweens, and I'll Still Love You 'Til the End!
@audrey Mar 5

Thank you for the kind words on my song A Special Moment.
@aneil Mar 5

Well done on another successful Fawm ! Well done for your London evening initiative. Wishing you ever success
@emkaydeebee Mar 3

Thanks for your comment on ‘You just be you’ - I’m so chuffed that it creates a visual for you, hopefully means it’s working!
@roblincoln Feb 29

Thanks for getting back to me on my Londoner perspective needs. MUCH appreciated, as were your earlier comments on my songs!
@roblincoln Feb 29

I enjoy your songs every year and I always listen to a couple of them. Thanks for your comments this year on my song, Puddinhead Jones. I am wondering if you or any British FAWMER can do me a favor and listen to my song number 26. It has references to London locations, and as I have only been there once, I want to be sure they do not seem ridiculous and that it rings authentic. The link is here. https://fawm.org/songs/107299/
@sw1n3flu Feb 29

Yeah the pocket prompt seemed to click for me. Thanks Wobbie!
@fuzzy Feb 29

Wobs!!
Congrats on the win!!
Thanx for assembling our collab!
See you at 50/90!!!
@rollasoc Feb 29

Just noticed I am to send you tape 6, but never saw that the thread had been updated. Been sitting on this tape for a couple weeks sorry.

Do you still want it anyway, since it is the last day of FAWM?
@hakk Feb 29

I saw your message about the auntie challenge first now and signed me up to an antithesis! I hope I’ll make it before February is over! (I’m counting on that) 😀
@kirjis Feb 26

Lol, thanks @emkaydeebee and @wobbiewobbit! Wobbie, feel free to do your thing on No Worries, Boris, but no pressure.
@emkaydeebee Feb 26

Hey! Have you heard this one by @kirjis: https://fawm.org/songs/100346/

I desperately want you to sing over it with your brilliant accent, and I definitely want you to use the term "n*bjockey* in it! Please!!!! (sorry, this comment really comes across as spam, but I'm serious, it needs a London accent - check it out!)

@aneil Feb 25

@wobbiewobbit Look don't stare demo is up
@hoppiern Feb 22

Thanks for listening and commenting on “Warm February”! I really appreciate it! 😊
@billwhite51 Feb 22

thnak you for your comments on those last two collaborations.
@tamsnumber4 Feb 17

Thanks for commenting on my song "Insecure", I appreciate the listen!
@keithcuts Feb 14

I have my tricks 😉
@treble Feb 12

Thank you for your thoughtful comments on my skirmish song Cruise Control. You heard correctly that there was a lot of worry in this song!
@berni1954 Feb 12

Glad you liked my take on the CC prompt too.
@postcardhelicopters Feb 12

I really appreciated your comment about how my song resolved and then melted into place - I like that characterization a lot!
@aneil Feb 11

Hi there! the demo for girl with the voice is up
@dragondreams Feb 10

Thanks, Den.
I think, listening back to it, the opening couple of chords are like the start of the theme to Hitchhikers Guide (TV version)? Maybe that's what it's reminding you of?
@wolfkier Feb 10

😀 thaks wobbs.
@elesimo Feb 10

Hello! Thank you for your comments on my song "For Kim". I just added you to my watchlist, can't believe you weren't there yet!
@kahlo2013 Feb 10

Thanks for you nice comments this FAWM! I appreciate it. I think I may have seen 3 of Cage’s movies... Moonstruck, The Family Man, and probably one other - thankful for Google!
@bjunker Feb 9

Thanks for listening to Only For A Minute! I hadn't consciously made the connection with English folk music but you are right!
@keithcuts Feb 8

EatingPaste 😂🤣
@erucaesounds Feb 8

Thanks for your kind comments on Searching For Signals! Rock On!
@scubed Feb 6

Thanks for the very kind words on my “Dolphins” skirmish song. I think it’s actually the germ of two songs - different lyrics for that music, a different lyrical treatment and musical setting for the dolphin story.

Andf thanks so much for running Auntie Sin! That’s such a fun game, and it generates so many interesting songs.
@dragondreams Feb 6

I do have a habit of funking up... 😉
@sbs2018 Feb 4

Thanks so much for your comments on “Deja Vu...” It’s always so interesting to hear what other people hear. And Kate Bush? Wow - thanks for the compliment.
@srcoops Feb 2

Thanks for your comments on Gloom. We have had a boatload of that since Tom passed.
@keithcuts Feb 2

Yeah it’s ready for action! And a relatively easy “anti” play for the artist 👩‍🎨 Imho
@bradbrubaker Feb 2

Thanks for working me into the 4th chain on Anti/Syn. 😀
@treble Feb 2

Thank you so much for your kind words about my skirmish song, "Go." Have a great FAWM!
@tiller2 Feb 2

Hi friend, thanks for commenting on my skirmish "Play With Me." I've posted a demo, if you'd like to circle back https://fawm.org/songs/100278/
@gwyn1234 Feb 1

@katia Jan 30

Thanks! Have a good FAWM too, fellow Londoner!
@keithcuts Jan 30

Bra off time is the best 😂🤣😂
@petemurphy Jan 30

Hiya WW. Thanks! I hope all is well, and hope you have a great February. My plans have already completely changed (I had planned a whole month of radio shows dedicated to FAWM, and focusing more on that than writing songs, but then the station ended up on hiatus, effective immediately ::sad face:: so my plans went out the window). I had one of yours on the first show, too (Let's Go Round Again).
@gordon Jan 30

Hi Wobbie, looking forward to your output this year, as ever. Me, I'm going to try to take it a bit easier, but we'll see what happens. Have a good one, not long now!
@andygetch Jan 28

Hi Wobbie. Have a wonderful FAWM!
@metalfoot Jan 26

❤️
I'm really looking forward to it, Den! Can't wait to hear what you come up with. 😊
@tamsnumber4 Jan 19

I want to thank you for always making me laugh, it is so healthy and such a brilliant gift to share...I will be around to give you a listen!!!
@zecoop Jan 18

Hiya Wobbie... Good to see you here too. We'll get that tape on the list too. Looking forward to lots of fun. I've got no expectations, so we'll se how this goes. 😀
@kahlo2013 Jan 18

Can’t wait for all of the laughter your music will bring me!
@cynthiawolff Jan 18

Another year gone by....willl be listening for your latest.
Have fun.
@cts Jan 18

Well hello there! And it's one more time on the Ferris wheel of fun! Have a great FAWM!
@headfirstonly Jan 17

Hiya Wobbie! Here we are again... Uncle Rick wants to know what sort of music he should be practising this year; he's been somewhat diverted by a bucketload of software synths over the last few months, but the Chapman Stick has been dusted off and tuned!
@kovbleu Jan 17

Hi Wobbie!! Can't wait to hear your wit and charm again this year. Always love your songs. 😀
@writeandwrong Jan 16

Wobbie!! Always love your sense of humor in your work and can't wait to witness some more mastery! 😀
@johnstaples Jan 16

Hi Wobbie! Happy FAWM!!!
@max Jan 14
@tsunamidaily Jan 14

Oh yeah, I'd love to do a collab this year!
I seem to recall that you asked for a collaboration a few years ago and it came to nothing. That was totally my fault, sorry. 😞
@fuzzy Jan 14

Wobbie!!!!
Let's do this!!!!
