Originator of the Philadelphia Area Songwriters' Alliance (PASA) houseconcert series and Summer Songfest, I have performed and released CDs with Lessick & Lincoln (acoustic), and Men From When (electric). More recently also with Lessick & Lincoln & Cohen. This is my 13th year at FAWM. Over the years FAWM has become my primary mode of writing songs and many of the songs I've written here have been performed in concert and some have been recorded with my band Lessick & Lincoln & Cohen or covered by others. Here is my FAWM history through 2021:
2009- 17
2010- 18
2011- 19
2012- 20

2021- 31
Total- 303 songs written via FAWM
Thank you for listening.
My BIG HAIRY AUDACIOUS GOAL (BHAG) for 2021 FAWM is to hit the 40 mark again. My more focused goal is to write at least a dozen songs in weird open tunings in the style of Nick Drake (not one of my influences until very recently), including at least a couple instrumentals on guitar. I also want to write a bunch of a-capella songs for my trio Lessick & Lincoln & Cohen, including some sea chanteys. And perhaps some Americana in the American Beauty, Workingman's Dead style. But I always seem to get sidetracked which whatever subconscious stuff comes into my head, and it's been quite a year---so who knows. Wish me luck-- I will need it--I have a very busy full-time day job unlike last two 40 song years.

What a cool Drake tuning! If I used something like that, I'd probably have to make some chord diagrams to follow...or just play random notes.
