Artist Bio
Influences: Dylan, Cohen, Young, Lennon, Grandaddy, Bob Seger, Phil Ochs, Placebo White stripes,Pixies, Neutral.milk hotel, Decemberists, Eels Waits Metallica etc
I am changing servers and providers so i am slowly taking songs down a batch at a time (about 12) that's why some are locked. I have kept all my collabs up and will until the site closes
Playing a lot more stuff this year that i normally write for others! Less stringed instruments due to health reasons, hopefully made up for with technology and tricks! Am mainly going to write music first lyrics last this year which is a change around. Aiming to not go over the top but aiming for 1 a day! Then maybe a few collabs and skirmishes. Lots of listening for my podcast! I do have a thick skin and seek critiquing in my network but these songs are demos and for fun so this is not the place

Hey... I enjoyed the show. You're a great host, you got a smooth voice. Great guest, very good music. Yeah, nice.
-
@aflinner Apr 2022
I discovered your podcast this year and just pulled up the latest episode….and discovered that you included one of my songs! So glad you enjoyed it, and I was thrilled to be included. Thank you for the kind words.
I’m embarrassed that I dropped off this year on listening/commenting, which is unlike me, but I’ve still been checking in to the site, and your podcast is encouraging me to go back and catch up.
Thanks again :-)
(P.S.—No worries, but there are 2 Ns in my name, “Flinner.”) -
@gm7 Apr 2022
Thx. You very much. I look forward to the podcast.
-
@mandolinda Mar 2022
Thank you for the posting info. I noticed that with some lyricists, but others wanted to addas a collab. But next tie, will do as you suggest.

I appreciate your collaborating with me. You always add a lot to the words.

Thank you for your comments! <3

@radiobenedetto Mar 2022
Hi there! Sorry for the long #tit4tat delay. Work jumped up and bit me just as FAWM was ending. I admire how prolific you are both in terms of production and feedback. Looking forward to listening to your latest!
-
@ambroise Mar 2022
Sur "manger de la poudreuse (a mouthful of powder snow)" : merci pour ton commentaire ! L'instrument à l'arrière est bien une guitare. J'ai utilisé le VST Guitar Rig 5 (il ont une version demo) et tenté plusieurs effet. Si ma mémoire est bonne j'ai gardé l'effet "snowflakes" qui est parfait pour cette chanson !
-
@ambroise Mar 2022
Hahaha entendu ! L'anglais est la langue que j'utilise par défaut sur ce site. Sauf si je commente une chanson en anglais. En plus j'ai bien besoin d'entraînement en anglais moi aussi.
J'essayerai de me rappeler de te parler en français les prochaines fois.
J'ai passé un très bon moment cet après-midi à écouter tes créations. J'ai laissé un commentaire sur mes préférées... Ou sur celles où j'avais quelques chose à ajouter ! Merci pour tes chansons et pour tes commentaires.
Au cas où on n'ai plus l'occasion de se croiser cette année malgré la liste de fawmers qu'il me reste à aller écouter : à bientôt ! -
@ambroise Mar 2022
Thank you for the tit4tat count ! I just could have Looked at my messages and count the hashtags, lazy, messy me !
Hey you're way ahead of me ! I'm on for some catching up ! I rejoice in advance ! (I don't know a common phrase in english for this, so I just translated it word-to-word.) -
@tageule Mar 2022
A bird group, yes, please! And thanks for your nice comments. I hope I'll find the time to listen to some more of your songs soon. You really have been busy, hats off!
-
@andybalham Mar 2022
Hi. It would be an honour to be included on the album. You can keep me posted via andybalham at hotmail dot com. Look forward to hearing it!

@musicbymichelle Mar 2022
I'd be honored to be included in a collab album.

Songwriting is a contact sport. The real champions take the blows and don't let them happen again. :)

@steer Mar 2022
Thanks for praising my song "The End"! Good luck to your new album!
-
@jayjay Mar 2022
@coolparadiso thank you for all your kind comments. As a novice songwriter this has been a great experience. Please do use the song. It was an absolute pleasure to collaborate with you.
-
@tsunamidaily Mar 2022
yes-- we can do big city. i have just had a lot of doubles at work lately and haven't been able to finish the lyrics, though i did ceate a placeholder. sorry for the delay.
-
@edward9thstreet Mar 2022
Thank you for the kind comments. I have some music up now, just in case you can't find anything to listen to. :) Appreciate it!
-
@nadine Mar 2022
It's been very interesting to listen to your different sides :) You don't have the typical edm voice but I think that this makes it interesting. I kept you in mind as bass-baritone doing singer-songwriting with a twist, so I didn't expect electronic music.
I've been very deep in that scene some years ago, but too many things changed. When I joined FAWM last year, I suddenly realized, that I've been surpressing plenty of talents by sticking in a niche that did not match my strengths. It broke my heart and so I decided to go my way and write whatever comes into my mind. I feel so much better. It may take years until I processed my heartbreak. -
@mariekevinkmusic Mar 2022
Cheers for coming back and listening to our duet. It was a lot of fun.
-
@dzdandcunfsd Feb 2022
That's hilarious! Especially knowing how much some of those smashed guitars would be worth today, but I guess if Pete wasn't smashing them there would be more around.
I've seen a couple, but the worst fight I saw break out on stage happened between two brothers. One put his telecaster through the other ones (bass players) speaker cabinet and it got ugly LOL. The drummer and the keyboard guy kept playing... I was told it was a regular occurance after the show. They took about a 5 minute break and finished their set hah... so were at least somewhat "professional" -
@dzdandcunfsd Feb 2022
That would be a good one for a guitar smashing! I recently pretty well ripped the neck off my Jaguar having a little too much fun with the whammy while it had 14 gauge strings on it... Stripped the neck screws out. I wish I had been recording as it made a glorious noise! LOL
-
@vegansongs Feb 2022
Thank you so much for your comments this fawm! Ever so kind...I may change that last line on Rich mans greed. Music to come!
-
@stephenwordsmith Feb 2022
Good morning to you. The demo for Toast is up, just in the nick of time: https://fawm.org/songs/137401/
I hope you enjoy it. It's certainly something. -
@pvk2020 Feb 2022
Happy Fawm. Have a good year creating
-
@hoppiern Feb 2022
Thank you so much for listening to my songs and all your encouraging comments. You helped to make this FAWM special for me. Glad to chat about musicals anytime! :-)

@gm7 Feb 2022
Hope all that flooding passes you by...good luck!
-
@klaus Feb 2022
Hi Cool. Thanks for all comments. Sorry to hear about that flood you mentioned in the Forums. What's even worse I can't say bonza to that. :( :)
-
@andrea Feb 2022
Thanks for your comments on Heavenly Bodies. It's funny because I started watching that the Magic Mike movie but never made it through it. guess I didn't get to the good stuff -lol.
-
@richaaaay Feb 2022
I enjoyed my listens John. Thanks!
How about Serene's singing? She's so good. She sings with such a sweet and soulful voice. It's such a privilege to collaborate with her. -
@richaaaay Feb 2022
Awesome! Any particular songs you’d like me to listen to?
-
@richaaaay Feb 2022
Hi John, thanks for the comments. What a prolific FAWM you’ve had. Are there any particular songs you’d like me to listen to?
If you are willing to listen to two more of mine I’d be game for 2 more of yours (4 total). I’d love to get more people to hear my collaborations with Serene. If you are game, please listen to As You Are and Feeling My Way. Thanks! -
-
-
@n24 Feb 2022
Haha! Sometimes you strike gold and the rest of the song has to be manufactured purely to share that wonderful line! Thanks for all your lovely comments too, I’m liking this Tit4Tat method of discovering peoples music :) you’ve been prolific! Looking at your song list it’s amazing!
-
@marthie Feb 2022
You know what you are really good at? Song titles…
-
@arthurrossi Feb 2022
Thank you so much for our kind words on "Good and bad girls"! I appreciate them a lot...
-
@mctown Feb 2022
Man...you are doing it.. got caught up in a new grandkid... which is cool and sweet.... Sent you one...feel free to or not to......sent it on email here...btw..all good...Davd

@ajna1960 Feb 2022
I'll expect you to write another for the skirmish now !!!!!!!!!!
-
@ajna1960 Feb 2022
Watch out for the next one then... although I doubt there will be many people around at 10am GMT, middle of the night in the States. Although the Aussie folks are awake :)
-
@ajna1960 Feb 2022
I'm thinking it would make a cool skirmish theme..... dare I ? !
-
@tsunamidaily Feb 2022
i will try to get on the big city lyrics
-
@nahlej381 Feb 2022
Hey man thanks for all the kind words and support! You’re always a proverbial sight for sore eyes! This community is the best cuz of talented cool folk like you! Thanks for being a stranger that feels like family!
-
@gilhari Feb 2022
Thank you for your comment on counting birds… it was a pleasure to create.
-
@kenmattsson Feb 2022
Just sent you chords and a rough recording of If I were a god. Let me know if you want to do something more with it before 28 Feb or if I should just post it and figure we can do more with it later if you'd like. I'm fine with either. It took me a while on this one to figure out where it wanted to go.
-
@timfatchen Feb 2022
You commented on @sherrycanary's defiant "Will of the Heart" https://fawm.org/songs/132639/ earlier (thank you). We now have Sherry's voice on it and a slightly better piano. Whilst there are some production issues which I can't fix at this stage, it's definitely an improvement over me singing it (!), if you'd like to listen again, or download the fresher version.
-
@marthie Feb 2022
It is such a special story and I was born in 1973!
-
@tjeff Feb 2022
Glendale just posted.
-
@tsunamidaily Feb 2022
do you have a theme or title that you would like realized in lyrics? it turned out well the last couple of times....
-
@mandolinda Feb 2022
Thanks for the listens. You picked a variety of different styles. I am getting into more listening this week, but I think I still have a song in me.
-
@davidtaro Feb 2022
If that’s an invite, then yes count me in :)
-
@ianuarius Feb 2022
Nah, I don't think there's anything you can do. Of course, if you upload your music to youtube, Velveteen might be coming for you!
-
@ianuarius Feb 2022
So this is pretty funny, youtube actually gave me a copyright claim because we played Wise Sage on FAWMtalk. :D
-
@nadine Feb 2022
And yes Skyscraper is free to podcast, I've talked to everybody.
-
@nadine Feb 2022
Hi there!
On podcasting: I only share final versions cause my sketches are only 30% versions. Seems like I won't finish any FAWM 2022 track in time. I guess it's the best if you follow my bandcamp then you get the alert and free download for the final versions of my FAWM 2021 stuff. If everything turns out as planned it will be finished around May. And no I don't spam around on Bandcamp cause I only upload full produced albums.
But I've noted that I ask my collabs about radio and podcasting... -
@katestantonsings Feb 2022
Good idea. Thanks John!
-
@katestantonsings Feb 2022
Thanks for saying that. I get overwhelmed easily and don't know how to pace myself for these things! Having fun though! It's a lovely group here...
Looking forward to it! -
@katestantonsings Feb 2022
I'd still love to collab someday! Maybe this summer? I'm thinking a Suzanne by Cohen style of a song? Blend of Leonard and Judy...:)
Thanks for the lovely comments and encouraging words, John! Happy homestretch. -
@sheslin Feb 2022
I watched Lie To Me and loved it! Thanks John :)
-
@nancycunning Feb 2022
Thanks so much for your comments. Your podcast sounds like fun. Where can I listen? It would be so hard to choose from all the miraculous stuff on FAWM. I feel like I stumbled into a whole wonderful collabroative fun house.
-
@dudachris Feb 2022
Hey thanks for playing my John Prine song. It is one of my favourite writes of all time. Feel free to play any of my FAWM stuff on here or another off my bandcamp.
I've enjoyed listening to the episodes I've heard and it is really weird hearing one of your own tracks on something else. For next time, I'm Canadian. Maple syrup, hockey and angry truckers. -
@hmorg Feb 2022
Thanks for the comment on "Arms of Andromeda"! I'm not entirely sure if I nailed that nap pause bit, but otherwise I'm quite happy at how it turned out.
-
@jayjay Feb 2022
Thank you for the comments. I had a strong female vocal in my head too. Sadly that’s not me. Lol
-
@povosos Feb 2022
Thanks for the comment
-
@headfirstonly Feb 2022
You were spot on; the Crash Boom mix was all over the place (never mix with tired ears!) The guitars are now louder.
-
@greengrassgirl Feb 2022
John, Thanks for your comments on My Man of Few Words. I thought sheslin's vocal and piano really delivered. It's a mesmerizing performance, and I am so glad she offered to pick up my lyrics. I am delighted with the song.
-
@tjeff Feb 2022
Hey John, I just about have my studio set up - we still need to do our collab! Do you have a lyric with me in mind?
-
@jonmeta Feb 2022
I know how busy you are (I can’t fathom your output, even more amazing with the podcast, listening and commenting) so I really appreciate you giving a few precious minutes to Colorado Sky.
-
@heuristicsinc Feb 2022
Yeah sure if there's somebody else.
-
@mikegtz Feb 2022
Jonni, I changed the lyrics around a little. Did you want to see them before I post them?
-
@jayjay Feb 2022
@coolparadiso it’s a small world :)
-
@nadine Feb 2022
I'm glad you enjoyed my yodelcore nonsense :-)
I'll come back to you via mail concerning the real stuff for your show. -
@mikegtz Feb 2022
Got the lyrics. I'll see what I can do, thank you.
-
@musicbymichelle Feb 2022
Sure, let's do a collab! Happy to write some music for your lyrics.

@kingwoodkowboy Feb 2022
Cool, thanks for reviewing With This Old Steel Guitar. I'm hoping we have a steeler on FAWM who can put it to music.
-
@kenmattsson Feb 2022
An offer to do another song with you? Don't think I can pass that up! Now that I had my first experience with actually production collaboration, maybe we could even do something where you could write some fabulous lyrics, I could come up with a melody and chord structure and sing some lyrics, and then you could do your magic to make it all sound lush and beautiful. Thoughts?
-
@jayjay Feb 2022
If you ever have time it would be a pleasure. :)
-
@billwhite51 Feb 2022
thanks for the clarification. i misunderstood, thinking you meant the song was about how cuba got its name.
-
@billwhite51 Feb 2022
is april sun in cuba the one by dragon? ill have to listen again as i dont recall a reference to how cuba got its name. oh, and thats me singing off laurie. she did all the music and her vocals first,,then i did mine, following her guide vocal as close as i could.
