No problems…everything is ok.. all is well! I started off with GarageBand problems and it took the wind out of my sails.
I am just not in the headspace this year so I am not going to force it..Have fun everyone …

+++++++++++-++—++++++++++++++++++++
The last two years 2020 @and 2021 I’ve taken an entirely different direction and started doing everything on the iPad.
No lyrics…no singing …just virtual instruments and noises…it has freed me up …I will probably do the same this year as I have collected a few amazing collaborators along the way and the results have been far cooler and infinitely more satisfying than anything I was doing before..
My 4 track tape recorder has moved on to electronic heaven so alas won’t be participating in the Four track challenge..boo hoo!
MY Casio PT-1 keyboard...
I dropped it and she died a sad and tragic death...she started me off in Fawm and Ima gonna miss her...She played her part in a few amazing Four Track Cassette challenges...RIP old friend of the 80s…my first ever electronic gadget..MTV was brand new and I played along on this wacky little keyboard.
Real Instruments I noodle with

Hi, there! Wishing you an amazing FAWM!
...also, we did a 4-track cassette back in 2018 that was super fun! We started a thread for the collaborations (https://fawm.org/forums/topic/12033/), and I was wondering if you'd like to participate this year?
