Artist Bio
Influences: From classical to ethnic music. Joik, taiko, gamelan, Hardangerfela, bagpipes, throat singing...skew mostly Nordic/Celtic. I'm not a musician so this will be a creative challenge. Interested in lyrics, the gray zone between poetry and music, like the moment the jet picks up speed and lifts off.
If a bear hums in the forest does anyone hear it?
Usually lyrical, sometimes hys-teer-ical, especially if you can bear a pun.
Always looking for musical collaborators, please ask first.

2022: It's been a disappointing year as I have not had time to listen, engage and comment. That's the way the cookie crumbled. (I hope to do some listening/commenting in March.)

Many thanks for your comments on my song Mercedes. I wish I'd had more time to focus on FAWM this year. But I'm free today so I'm trying to catch up listening to everyone's creations. Thanks again!!

@tabitha Feb 2022
Thanks for linking through to the colour - no doubt that if a moles breath were visible it would indeed look like that!
I'll let you know if I revise Lie in the Folds during the month. As for the Spider Song, I'm glad New Zealand's customs are very strict. I have faith they will protect me from any creepy crawly song inspirations you wish to send! :-) -

Hummingbear! Great to "see" you!! I was on last year, but somehow I just had no creative energy. This year I hope to do better! (low bar, I know...)

I can't tell if I told you that I grew up on a garlic farm, or if garlic was completely random... But now I want to go grab 14 varieties of garlic from my parent's farm for inspiration for some variations.

Well hello there my favorite hummingbear in all of the forest! And yes, I do plan to get really busy on day 1. Will I capture that coveted first song spot? We shall see! I'll def get something up there early on though as that way I'm ahead of the game for at least 24 hours instead of behind!
Hope you have a great FAWM! -
