Artist Bio
Influences: All genres and styles - from Baroque and Blues to Renaissance and Rock.
Pronouns: She/Her/Hers or They/Theirs
I’m looking forward to FAWM! I’m not sure how much I can participate as work obligations are busier than usual, but I will listen as much as I can, comment when I am able, and post some lyrics and songs when time allows, and look forward to connections and collaborations with you!
BIO: After many years of loving deeply, learning broadly, laughing freely, and living fully with a wild and crazy muse as my guide, I began writing songs and started to play music as inspired by a fellow FAWMer. We made an album together. That was in 2013. I have since had the remarkable opportunity to collaborate writing music with many awesome FAWMers far and near who inspire and delight me with their talents and passion.
I am grateful to you, my fellow FAWMers, for your inspiration, encouragement, and generosity! You never cease to impress and amaze me. I am sure this FAWM will be no exception! Enjoy!
Always open to collaborations, challenges, and co-writing! Happy to write lyrics for you or have you put music to mine.
ALL LYRICS are OPEN for COLLABORATION unless I note otherwise. Just let me know! I am open to any musician’s minor tweaks and musical ideas! Thanks so much for looking!

Glad you liked my sideswipe at the Seven Deadly Sins.
Will return the favour when I get back from the dentist - a filling fell out at the weekend. -
@timfatchen Mar 2022
Liz, "Descent"...not sure whether this is Queen's vs US English dialect difference, but "beyond our reproach" here would be a positive accolade. "Their behavior was beyond reproach" ie so good, there's nothing more to be said. Which of course is not the intent of the lyric. So..."regardless of reproach? uncaring of reproach? careless of our reproach? reckless of our reproach? no mind for our reproach?" etc.

Hi Liz..Songs for Ukraine wanting music, point me.

@wolfkier Mar 2022

@katestantonsings Mar 2022
Thanks Liz!! I look forward to our multi collab becoming a full song too :)
-
@sunnymae Mar 2022
Hey Kahlo! Thanks for your insights on Silencing the Candle! I so appreciate your takes on music and words. As far as the alt tuning, I was playing mostly bar chords. I'm not sure I know what you meant by keeping the same chord shapes? Do you mean using the same finger placement for chords that you would use in standard?
-
@sarahk Mar 2022
Thank so much for taking time to listen and leave such nice comments on "Goodbye!" I really had a good time making it with John.
-
@nancycunning Mar 2022
Hey, Liz - thank you so much for all your listening and responding and writing and skirmishing and hosting. I know I’m just one of the many people you’ve made feel welcome this FAWM. What a wonderful community.
-
@greengrassgirl Mar 2022
Oh, and here I see another nice comment on A Lover and A Liar. Thank you! That music really rolls along, and @Marieke's vocal is just perfect for it. I was so pleased when she picked it up. Thanks for taking the time to listen and respond.
-
@greengrassgirl Mar 2022
@kahlo --131 listings! How in the world did you even have time to explore and comment on My American Hero! Thank you! Im glad you liked it. I thought @nancycunning did a great job with it.

Liz, Our collab on "If You Go to Ireland" is scheduled to be released on Spotify, i-tunes, etc. on April 8th. Please send me your PRO IPI# so that you will be eligible for royalties. Thanks again for authorizing this. The message I sent you on the i-cloud address you gave me has once again been rejected

@katestantonsings Mar 2022
Thanks for trusting me with An Orchid Waits. It was a lovely experience songwriting with you. I also came here to thank you for the laugh on my collab with @cts! I want to dance all night long in a polyester suit!! 70s/80s/90s tunes!! :) Your kind words mean a lot!

@skibum1066 Mar 2022
Liz, Thanks for friending me! Based on your response(1 day@kahlo2013 left a note on your soundboard Oh sure that would be fine! Let me check my emails), I am streaming our collab "If You Go to Ireland) with you listed as 100% author. I'll send you the release date link. Thanks
-
@skibum1066 Mar 2022
The e-mails I have sent to the address you sent me have been rejected. Hoping you will permit me to stream our collab "If You Go to Ireland" with you given full credit the lyricist. Let me know one way or the other. Thanks

@berni1954 Mar 2022
Hi Liz,,
I just updated the Chords in the Bridge of "I Still Want You"
I also want to do a Youtube Video of that one this week. Is that OK with you? -
@nadine Mar 2022
Thanks a lot for stopping by and commenting! I'm happy you enjoyed the songs I've uploaded. None of these are final versions, we're just about 25-50% of the way, so they will be rerecord and produced properly in the next months. Collaborating with people is big fun!
Wait what - You were involved on 131 songs?! That's more than @gordon. Congrats that you topped his record! -
@apolez3 Mar 2022
Hey, thanks for the great comments... oh,,, gotcha- kewl thought seeing it in a video installation/ have heard similar on another experimental I did... might have to do that...'egocentric' for good reason I feel... :)
-
@sherrycanary Mar 2022
Liz, thank you for commenting on my writing.
Means a lot coming from you!
This FAWM I did not have the energy to create the actual music track, so all of my songrs had to do with writing and I so enjoyed expressing topics and ideas I had stored in my cellphone ideas file.
Hopefully next year I can cover one of your songs -
@berni1954 Mar 2022
Glad you liked my Furry Felines song. I do like being inspired by visual prompts like paintings. Two of my favourite songs from last year's FAWM were the two I wrote in response to the Rijk's Museum Challenge, where you had to visit the Rijk's Museum's website and choose a painting or two to be inspired by.
I have a playlist of songs of mine inspired by poetry or paintings on my youtube channel:

@wacha Mar 2022
Hey Liz,
It's always a joy to read your lyrics and get to work with you. Thank you for all of your feedback and encouragement. I would love to do another live collaboration in 50/90! -
@andybalham Mar 2022
Hi Liz. It was a pleasure to set your lyrics to music. I always look out each FAWM, as I know you will have something inspiring for me to work with and you never disappoint. Maybe I will dip my toe into 50/90 this year, but we will have to see :)
Kindest regards, Andy -
@tcelliott Mar 2022
131?!!?? Wow.
Thanks for the note. I haven't been hunting down lyrics to musicify as much of late but you're always one I can count on. Thank you for what you do. I hope you had a great Fawm (it looks like you were incredibly productive.) -
@colgoo Mar 2022
Thank you for your beautiful note. Please feel free to stay in touch between now and 50/90….I value your words and beautiful song lyrics.
-
@berni1954 Mar 2022
Hi Liz
Just echoing your note to me. I value your comments and collaborations too.
I swore I would give 50/90 a go last year but life got in the way and I didn't know how much I could test the patience of my darling Carmen. She already calls herself a FAWM widow every February B-)
Look forward to our digital paths crossing again.
And I still have a lot of your songs to explore this month. X X -
@karlsburg25 Mar 2022
Ahhh thanks liz and i'm so so happy i got to do a song with you. A true highlight of FAWM for me and i hope there'll be many more to come in the future. woohoo

@jcooper Mar 2022
Hi Liz! You too! You had the most amazing FAWM. What you are able to produce in the month of February is phenomenal. I have sent Fishing the Basin to Donald. Thank you for everything you do for this community

Liz liz liz everywhere I click liz liz liz...
Thank you, my friend!
I *KNOW* I'll be hearing more of your collabs LOL! :) -
@darcistrutt Mar 2022
I’m glad I could grab one of your lyric this FAWM. You were amazingly prolific last month! I’d love to crash the Madison FOP again! You are a fun group!
-
@moonraccoon Mar 2022
Thank you in return, Liz, for entertaining my sense of creativity and allowing me to make these songs from your words every year. It's incredibly fulfilling.
-
@kadmad202 Mar 2022
Liz, thank you for the chance to make some wonderful music with you! Olympic History is one of my favorites from this year : ) And congratulations on such a prolific FAWM! Not sure how you do it, with work, family, laundry, and all the other demands of life, but somehow you do, and do it so well. I’ve really only been able to listen to a few of your offerings so far, but now that the big push is over I’m really looking forward to reading and hearing all that you brought forth from your heart this year! It would be great to collaborate in person, or even just go have coffee sometime (since we do live in the same city!)
-
@bethkille Mar 2022
Hot damn! You are Queen of the Queens! Lol! Who posts 131 songs in 28 days?!?! You amaze and inspire my friend. So in awe. Big love to you for all the kindness and support over the years. You are a gem indeed.

@dzdandcunfsd Mar 2022
No problem! Its always a joy! Your lyrics to to write themselves into music.

@nancyrost Mar 2022
Dear Liz,
Thanks for the note. I'm glad we got to do a little collabing this FAWM. Look forward to catching up with each other's work this post-FAWM and yes, it will be great when we can do live collabs again! -
@daveyboy103 Mar 2022
And you Liz, I will see you there. I was a bit time constrained this FAWM but we still produced some fine work.

@jcooper Mar 2022
Hi Liz. I have done a recording for Fishing the Basin

"I’m looking forward to FAWM! I’m not sure how much I can participate..." a quote from your beautiful self which makes me laugh when I see that it is now 128 posts later...LOL!!

@andrea Feb 2022
Just a quick thanks for your support in my first FAWM. I appreciate all your lovely comments and help you gave me. You are a FAWM superhero. Do I see #127!! WOW :)

@ferry0123 Feb 2022
Thanks for your descriptive comment, Lizzy. I wouldn't have thought about that, but.... once I'm driving through such a city... :) Heck, I may go find myself such a city and see/feel for myself if it fits the song.
-
@dzdandcunfsd Feb 2022
I was about to pat myself on the back for getting to everything I wanted to do this month (other than falling behind on my listening/reading) and realized I never posted the Cujo tune LOL. I did it... just didn't post it hahah. I'll find it, and finish whatever else it was I must of wanted to add before I posted and then just forgot it.
-
@nancycunning Feb 2022
Liz - Thank you for listening so closely and responding to so many of my songs, and for hosting the skirmishes. I've felt so welcomed into the wonderful world of FAWM. I've enjoyed reading your lyrics and hearing your music. Look forward to reading and hearing much more.
-
@taracraig Feb 2022
For sure, the FAWMer community is vast!!! I too get very little sleep during FAWM and have a partner who allows me to spend the bulk of my non-working hours here and I'm barely at 100. I plan to do a lot of listening in the coming weeks though to make up for being pretty creation focused for the past 4.
-
@kenmattsson Feb 2022
Only a 14 more and I'll join you on the 8th floor! I'm bound and determined to make it by the end of the night!

@taracraig Feb 2022
800 comments!!! How in the world?! You are a song writing and comment giving machine.

@cloudcolor Feb 2022
Hi! I think you accidentally commented on my song “Imposter Syndrome” instead of another song you intended to comment on. :)
-
@taracraig Feb 2022
If/when you and Karen get up this way again, we'd love to connect. Brenna just asked me a few days ago if you and I are ever going to meet in person. I told her I sure hope so!
-
@sunnymae Feb 2022
OMG...a wiener festival. I'm all over that!!!! Yeah, let's blast this tune by the food trucks! I'll get rid of the NSFW stuff. Glad you had a chuckle. I'm finally just relaxing and sound surfing for myself. Big Breath!!
-
@splittybooms Feb 2022
Ok...someone else wrote about hot ham and rolls from Milwaukee, and now you have the egg noodles and sausage - I need to visit WI someday! lol
Love songs about regional/local food specialties!
In Chicago - we had so doggone many, but my favorite is the Chicago Dog and Maxwell Street polish sausages! -
@jcooper Feb 2022
That would be great Liz. No rush at all. Even after FAWM is good. GET some rest :)

@jcooper Feb 2022
Hey Liz. Don Gaynor is looking for some sea shanties for a collab with Muriel Anderson, do you have any lyrics I could use please?
-
@kenmattsson Feb 2022
Congratulations on your reaching the 7th floor! I actually would love to have a chat sometime. Consider coming to the Virtual FAWMOver reception I'm hosting: https://fawm.org/forums/topic/12805/

@berni1954 Feb 2022
Hi LIz,
Thanks for your concerns. If we were actually in Paris (City) we would probably be strolling Boulevards and paying through the nose for coffees and barely drinkable red wines. But we are in a small village 45 mins from Paris, which has charm, but no night life whatever. The main point of the trip is to spend time with our daughter who's an au pair here. She sees us during the day, but like a vampire in reverse slips off into the evening as the sun sets (to go and have fun with friends). We then settle in our "gite" (rural hired apartment in a cottage ). Carmen loves just relaxing in the evening with a book after a hard days sightseeing. That's why I have had time, if not the technical knowhow to join in on a couple of skirmishes. -

Liz, the music is up for Word Play. Thanks for the opportunity.

@tunecat Feb 2022
Busy busy! Harmony song ? Is it in an email? Can you jog my memory?

@kenmattsson Feb 2022
Liz, I hope you liked the harmony song. I'm going to work on the other set of your lyrics this weekend.

@mikeb Feb 2022
Thanks for the comment on 'Running Out of Time'!

Liz, put me down as a collab on Word Play!

@karlsburg25 Feb 2022
Well i done something!! I'd like to do more work on it post FAWM but for the moment its ready . Do you want me to send it to you to listen to first before i post???
-
@kenmattsson Feb 2022
The harmony song is up at https://fawm.org/songs/135625/. I can't put more than one collaborator on it, but your in the title and thanked in the notes!

@wolfkier Feb 2022

-
@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.

@nadine Feb 2022
Thanks a lot for your comments, they are well appreciated! I'm glad you enjoyed my experiments in jazz music. First time I do some weird stuff with 7ths chords and swing beat. No idea what I did there but it seems to work lol (my home base is alternative rock, pop and trance). Geez, are you trying to crash this site by reaching a 100 songs?! Just kidding!
-
@berni1954 Feb 2022
YOU SAID: "I love the mournful sound of the double Reed backing instrumental. Ah you would think it was, wouldn't you. I think it sounds a little like Northumbrian Pipes... but I'll let you in on a secret it's actually an instrument I never thought I'd have a use for: a Japanese fiddle!
-
@jlampson Feb 2022
Hooray! Looking forward to working with you. Thematically and lyrically, I'm open to whatever. Weird and quirky is always a little more fun, with subtext/metaphors, all that, but I'm not tied down to anything in particular. Feel free to reach out via the email link on my profile as well for the rest. Rock on!
-
@wolfkier Feb 2022
That's great! Thanks for the quick turn around! They;re all moving to completion nice and fast. I'm glad.
If we had just a few more people and a stitcher, I just can't do it for time, we could go epsilon! -

It's been a loooooong time since I've played, but should we find ourselves in the vicinity of a Pac-Man game, you're on! :-)

@jlampson Feb 2022
Thanks for the note and for listening to some songs. If @ltunes already has a vision and a few ideas shaped up, I'll let that play out but make myself available for any other stuff. And I do plan on doing 50/90 this year so perhaps we'll get a chance to connect then as well. Keep being awesome!
-
@ltunes Feb 2022
Thanks so much for letting me collaborate on Late Winter. I have a bunch of ideas and recorded a short track already but probably won't get to work for real until tomorrow. This is my first collaboration, so I am very excited. Getting a gentle/reflective vibe on this one.
-
@davidtaro Feb 2022
Hi Liz! Thank you for those AMAZING comments today. I appreciate it more than I can adequately express. I think it may be too late for FAWM, but can we pencil in a collab during 50/90? :)
-
@kenmattsson Feb 2022
Just sent you an email with some small lyric edits for the Harmony Singers Challenge song. I'm working on the melody, and I just needed to make some of the lines have fewer syllables to make it fit. Check the email and let me know!

@kenmattsson Feb 2022
Cool. Basically looking for something that has something in a tradition style that has a story that moves along, usually in a very tangible sense, with shorter lines that allows for a singable chorus. You can check this out for an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qP-7GNoDJ5c
