Artist Bio
Influences: everything for better or worse. Like Tom Waits, Dylan, Gillian Welch, Brad Mehldau, folk, old time music. classic rock, 80's alternative, etc
Have written about a dozen songs. Played everything and some of it very badly -- punk, jazz, blues, rock, folk, old time. Did a bunch of busking thru Covid...ton's of fun! Currently very acoustic. Guitar, singing, fiddle. But some of this FAWM work might go more electric. Remains to be seen!

@sorby69 Feb 2022
Hey Rob! Thanks for the nice words about my "Who's shaking the jar?" song - much appreciated! :)
-
@moonraccoon Feb 2022
Rob, you've just about doubled your catalogue. Nice!

@mandolinda Feb 2022
You should join our Simcoe County skirmish tonight at 7. https://fawm.org/forums/topic/12754/
And we have a Zoom at 830 after to share our songs. -
@mandolinda Feb 2022
Yeh, zecoop, guatecoop, and srcoops are a family formidable. And all on my watchlist.

Hey Rob, thanks for checking out my stuff and offering your encouragement!

@mandolinda Feb 2022
Thanks for all the listens. You had an afternoon of Mandolinda tunes..

@moonraccoon Feb 2022
Cool. An old friend uses Ableton to record his band, too, to good effect. I tried the free version of Cubase a while ago, and I agree there's some weird limitations. I can't see how that Cubase is effective, if it's meant to be entry-level gear that attracts new paying users.

@crutherford Feb 2022
yes! please steal away! :) also, thanks for checking out the ditty. it was a fun one to write!

Hi Rob, good guess about Bingo - I was looking for a chorus and I picked up an old deadline comic (Tankgirl started there) and I opened it on a page with that line on it. Glad you liked the tune.

@zecoop Feb 2022
Haha!! We officially have a club now... Basement Furnace Room Drummers! thanks for listening! :)

The name "Downtown Freddy Brown" doesn't ring any bells, but that's not too surprising. Filk isn't a large community but it's geographically diverse and until the days of Covid and Zoom I didn't know many filkers outside the west coast.

My banker? LOL that was random :)

@mandolinda Feb 2022
Hi Rob.`I am not planning to go to the camping weeks this summer, but I am going to the Songwriting weekend in June. I think a week of camping in unpredictable weather is getting to be too much for me. I attended the songwriting camp with David Francey, and really enjoyed the weekend, so I am going to go to this year’s one too.

@metalfoot Feb 2022
I should warn you... I tend to write a LOT of stuff in February.

@metalfoot Feb 2022
Thanks for your kind comments!

@moonraccoon Feb 2022
Hey Rob. Where in Canada are you? The only non-specific advice I can think of is: There are songs everywhere. Let go of everything about music and lyrics that you think are "cool", and just let whatever's around you be inspiration.
-
@ductapeguy Feb 2022
Yay Rob. I have added you to my watchlist and I'll add you to my list of Simcoe County Fawmers. My first year in 2013, I was the only one. It is so great to have a bunch of locals around.

Hi Rob, thanks for saying "hi" on my soundboard! I HAVE been doing the Pat Pattison songwriting challenges. I really love them. Forces me out of my old habits and into more interesting lyrics. I love how he says to really pay attention to your verbs. I haven't gotten to the metaphor section yet. Looking forward to hearing your songs!
-
@robheron1 Jan 2022
Has anyone done the Pat Pattison Songwriting challenges? I'm sure a lot of people on here are familiar with these. I have been doing them and I am hoping they will improve my lyrics. Here's where we find out!!!!

I'm into this. F-day minus 1!!! Changing strings today. Checking my Soundcloud and Bandcamp accounts.

This should be interesting. Question is will I give up or just let the quality suffer? Hmmmm....
