Hey, I don't think I ever gushed adequately about how much I love what you and all your Me's did with Monkeys That Type Shakespeare.

@angelinapowersuit Mar 2022
Hey hey belated thanks for your comments on, "Hate in My Heart," they don't have to step on a lego in the middle of the night, I think reading my lyrics would be punishment enough, haha. But of course I won't let them know it exists, my own hateful/joyful secret ;-)

Thanks for your comments on I Hate Punxsawtawny Phil. You are the only one who noticed that the tag spelled out my feelings on the rodent!

@wolfkier Feb 2022
Saw you question on the forum about corpses... Try this thread to see if there's either going to be more corpses or if you can jump into corpse havana which is 2 people from ending right now.
Tag @downburst with your questions.
Or you might want to propose a new one and consider offering to do the stitching, that job is the hardest to fill, but once someone steps up there's usually a good chance people will pipe up to make parts. It would need to be quick and nasty though with only 6 days to go.. good luck,
Or there's a 15 second parts corpse that could do with a sticher and no shortage of volunteers.... go on that thread and if you're keen offer to stitch GIMME15epsilon... I guarantee you 6 people to fill the spots if you offered to stitch....I run that one... here: https://fawm.org/forums/topic/12764/ -
@mistermann Feb 2022
Thanks for the comment on Dead Danes! To answer your question, I did one last year and I have three total slated for this year. Middle one is up and I’m doing the production for the last one.
-
@oaksnprairie Feb 2022
I'm not commenting directly on the Levanter because it's still a zong and someone else needs to find it. It sounds like you are having so much fun this year, it's a delight to listen. The Levanter had me attempting some strange sort of belly dance--impossible to listen to holding still.

@fiddlerblick80 Feb 2022
And I quote: the Neapolitan chord is the ball-gag of music theory.
You said that. So your neck crick is y’all’s fault because it made me want to use it all the time. -
@beat Feb 2022
Well, a nice space I’ve entered here. The first and the last in your influences list would have a good laugh with a gargle blaster I’d guess.
… that’s easy Marc Bolan is me favorite dinosaur.
Bob Ross! Ja.
Motivate FAWMlings is always on my list…
So, I’ll have a lot to listen too. -
@kahlo2013 Feb 2022
Wow! That is out of this world - I love the unexpected spooky and spacey dark feel you brought to it! Thank you!

I love it. Wow. That was fast and wonderful. Thanks for the Monkeys That Type Shakespeare Collaborating.

Yes. Yes. Yes. Please do the Monkeys Typing Shakespeare. Can't wait to hear your take on it.

That terrible singer changed the time signature without consulting the composer. See if I use her again.

@berni1954 Feb 2022
Glad you liked my "Straight Talking" - of to listen to one of yours. "Back to Barcelona" is the obvious choice as I live just down the coast from there!

Thanks so much for the kind words on “A Long Way from Yesterday” and for the Tarot draws! I will see what I can do with those cards.

Thank you so much for your words on my Welsh song! Sorry (not sorry) to have reduced you to a blubbing mess… glad to have done my bit ;-)

@liz561 Feb 2022
Thanks so much for your comments on Body and Soul and Time to Do Some Cleaning. Writing a murder song (serial killer no less) virtually guaranteed that I would get a good haul from the hubby on Valentine's Day (lol). I have been studying a lot (I'm studying Chinese because why not) and I have a test. But I'll be doing some more listening and I'll stop by again. I need to listen to the Arnold Schoenberg song!!

Love love love!
Honestly, if I go too far to the ends of that piano, the tuning starts to get real wonky, otherwise I would. -

Ha, I just tried the trombone technique you described and my girlfriend asked from across the house "is that your voice?!? it sounds like an instrument!"
Thanks for the comment and for teaching the technique! I' happy you enjoyed the song! -
