Artist Bio
Influences: All of "The Great American Songbook" Broadway show and movie writers, including Blues, Jazz, Classic Rock and Roll, Jump and Boogie.
In 40+ years as a professional musician, some of what I've played includes Folk, Country, Blues, Jazz, Western Swing and Classical genres, including 18 years as Assistant Principal Horn of the Kennedy Center Opera House Orchestra, from which I retired in 2017. I sing and play ukuleles, guitar, harmonicas and recorders, in addition to French horn and natural horns (no valves).

How can I upload an audio file to a song? Must it be a YouTube link if I don't have the other options given?

Welcome to FAWM!!

Welcome, and happy FAWMing!
I'll second what @timfatchen says: especially for longtime performing musicians, treat this month as gift-time, where you can loose the bonds of the inner critics we all build, and create freely. -

A major secret of getting the most out of FAWM: it's only one month and there are 11 others in which to edit refine and process what you come up with. In a lot of respects it's the reverse of disciplined! Don't get it right, just get it written/recorded/posted. Done! Next! The discipline comes in NOT tweaking and poking and not "perhaps I could just add this/modulate that/drop those three symphony orchestras running in the background". Make yourself known in the forums. Read the FAQs in the dropdown menu, a lot of distileld help in there. Important: reply to comments on your soundboard by putting the reply on the commenter's soundboard, or they might never otherwise see your reply. (Also move that commetn you ahve up into your bio where it should be!! :D )

I'm very curious to find out how I will handle this kind of disciplined approach, since I tend to, perhaps, be overly taken with the editing/refining process.
