Another Feburary is finally here and I'm itching to get started on writing songs again. Set up in the kitchen again with mic and guitar and ready to see what comes out this year. Good luck and much fun to all those taking part this year. Also, very happy to announce a new album of Space related songs with the legendary Sapient! More pleasant trips coming here soon.
I feel like I’ve stumbled upon a treasure trove of songs, just before the site shuts down! I’ll be watchlisting you for next year so that doesn’t happen again. In the meantime I’ll be listening to a few at a time in whatever time we have left this month.
Hey, Gordon - Not sure how it took me so long to start listening to your beautiful songs. Glad to be here, and that there's plenty time left in march. Thank you for listening and responding to so many of my songs, and helping make FAWM such a welcoming place.
was great to see you on FAWMtalk. You are much different than i imagined you - i kinda imagined you like a young John Gordon Sinclair in Gregory's Girl, which is weird cos i hadn't clocked your Scottish accent till the show. thanks for your lovely compliments. really enjoyed watching.
130 wow wow wow..congrats
amazing score! congratulations!
130...holy crap
wow- congrats on so many songs!
Yes Gordan go for it mate. You can do Hurt People Hurt People draft 2.
119?? I boggle!!!
@gordon thanks for that set-it-up-as-old-time-radio tip! Sherry asked for it to be posted as a new so I'll try that! ( I want her to survive!!!)
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.
Look what I found in my 2013 FAWM archives :-)
Live footage from the two of us doing one of your songs.

So much fun. The video is only available with this link.
100 songs wow and they are all good.
Gordon, I think I could write anything and you would turn it into something nice. As always, nicely done.
Re Red Rose... Uh duh! I should have guessed that.
thank you for listening - wow, you have so many written already!!!!!
Sure Gordon you can have a go at Johnny & Me.
you are a machine!
Thank you for listening
Thanks for taking a moment and listening to my tunes. And I will take a minute as well and listen to a few of yours as well. You're very prolific I seems! Nice....
you are a machine!
Thank you Gordon i'm glad you found Calm Before The Storm relaxing i must look at your songs.
Gordon, you are amazing!
Yikes! How on Earth have you managed that many songs in 9 days?! I bow into my hat in awe!
Um, 44 songs on day 7?! What are you, a machine?
Thanks for your awesome comments - I think I do hear the “Vogue” vibe in “Take Me Back” now that you mention it. I’ll take that over Doris Day - lol!
Wow going to have to catchup listening!
Thanks for your kind words on Mr. Spaceman, much appreciated!!!
Thanks!
Hey Gordon! Are you a songwriting bot? Your output is unreal! Glad to see you again here :-)
so impressed that you reached 14 songs by day 2. you are putting the rest of us to shame. congratulations!
Thank you so much for the kind and encouraging words! 14 songs written on the first day though — I think you’re that person I was writing about, haha!
One more!
Go get 'em bro!

Glad to see you back again
Looking forward to your excellent music again this year!
