Hey Richard, thanks for all your nice comments. I feel so lame to check the comments only now, I would have loved to do a collaboration with you. If you're still up to it next February (or sooner) you can count me in!
What ho, indeed :-). Pleased to find another P.G. devotee here in the crowd...
Richard - I've finished listening to your creations and there are so many stunners. If you want me to assist you in making this album - I'm game. But fair warning - I'm a self proclaimed terrible side guy. :) Please do keep in touch. I feel we are kindred spirits in the musical realm. xoc
Hey @richardmasters - Thanks for all the kind words this past FAWM. Looking forward to catching up on my listening. Congrats on all your new tunes!
Hey, Richard - Welcome to skirmishing, it is the best thing ever, especially if you're new. The prompt is WINDOW.
Don't worry if you're late, no one cares. And you can tag your song with these things

That'll help other people find it.
And you can also copy your link and put it back on this page as a new comment:

Because some people look there
(These are all things I learned this weekend. Fawm is a little like a dream about a castle with a lot of rooms and staircases, hard to sort out exactly where you are but amazing) Happy Skirmishing and Fawming.
yo richard. you are a delight. i double dog dare you to join in on a skirmish with me before this thing is through.. have ya got a couple more in you? if so - 3pm est today? i believe it's 8pm for you... if not, no sweat. but i'd love to hear what you would concoct in the hour..
Thank you for your comment. The mellotron is a plugin called Tapeworm. I find it adequately convincing. A real one would be sweet though.
Hey,
Sorry I’ve dropped you an email back :) Also I’ve got loads of your songs to catch up on which I intend to do as soon as I have some more spare time… definitely a March album listening month for me!!
Sorry I was at work so only just seen your message :) I’ve asked the other person if they would mind you doing a version too, if you’re still up for it, as I know you said you’d already worked on a few ideas! I shall let you know what they say
Aww, thank you for your lovely comment on Progress.
Thanks for the comment! I took your advice and added a solo at the end. I did the best I could as a drummer :)
more sent.
did you get the preview to our collab in your mail?
Thank you for the kind words about my piece "Returning Home from Market".
Funny you should say that, this was going to be part of a trilogy of songs, but that has kind of fallen by the wayside... there is still time! Have a great rest of FAWM, love your stuff!
got your suggestions. will get on it.
Thanks for the comments! And you’ve got Laika & The Cosmonauts listed FIRST in your influences list??? Insta-follow. All hail surf rock! (Sadly, I’ve lost the chops to pull it off properly.)
hey there. we were paired in the random collab challenge.
do you have a phrase or concept you would like realized in lyrics? drop me a note and let me know.
hope to hear from you.
Thanks for the comment!
Hello Richard! Good to see you! I"m starting late, but hopefully starting. Excited to check out your work!
Thanks for recommending Connie Converse - I listen to "I have considered the lilies" a lot, but have yet to go further than that. I shall branch out!
Thanks so much for your comments on my songs! It's very encouraging to hear. I'm loving your work too.
I’m good thanks, hope you are too! That’s would be fab, I’ll have a think over next few days and try ping you something :)
Excited to see what you have in store for us this year :) was great fun teaming up last time around!
Thank you for giving my piece Disintegration a listen and for leaving such a nice comment. I really appreciate it. :)
