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.

  • @nancycunning  Mar 2022

    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.

  • @wobbiewobbit  Mar 2022

    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.

  • @gm7  Mar 2022

    130 wow wow wow..congrats

  • @wobbiewobbit  Mar 2022

    amazing score! congratulations!

  • @gm7  Feb 2022

    130...holy crap

  • @mikeskliar  Feb 2022

    wow- congrats on so many songs!

  • @leakyplusme2 Feb 2022

    Yes Gordan go for it mate. You can do Hurt People Hurt People draft 2.

  • @timfatchen  Feb 2022

    119?? I boggle!!!

  • @timfatchen  Feb 2022

    @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!!!)

  • @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.

  • @max  Feb 2022

    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.

  • @leakyplusme2 Feb 2022

    100 songs wow and they are all good.

  • @srcoops  Feb 2022

    Gordon, I think I could write anything and you would turn it into something nice. As always, nicely done.

  • @berni1954  Feb 2022

    Re Red Rose... Uh duh! I should have guessed that.

  • @andrewrusse Feb 2022

    thank you for listening - wow, you have so many written already!!!!!

  • @leakyplusme2 Feb 2022

    Sure Gordon you can have a go at Johnny & Me.

  • @coolparadiso  Feb 2022

    you are a machine!

  • @marthie Feb 2022

    Thank you for listening

  • @thecarpenter Feb 2022

    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....

  • @coolparadiso  Feb 2022

    you are a machine!

  • @leakyplusme2 Feb 2022

    Thank you Gordon i'm glad you found Calm Before The Storm relaxing i must look at your songs.

  • @srcoops  Feb 2022

    Gordon, you are amazing!

  • @theicylakes  Feb 2022

    Yikes! How on Earth have you managed that many songs in 9 days?! I bow into my hat in awe!

  • @caitlin Feb 2022

    Um, 44 songs on day 7?! What are you, a machine?

  • @sbs2018  Feb 2022

    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!

  • @rgarv100 Feb 2022

    Wow going to have to catchup listening!
