@edwardsmusic Mar 2022
Just finished reading the article about King Crimson you linked me. Indeed, I do think it's good!
-
@edwardsmusic Mar 2022
I appreciate your comment on Black (about nailing the King Crimson vibe)!
I recall meeting you for the first time when you commented on my cover of In the Court of the Crimson King back in 2019 (you commented on the songs from side 2), so there you go! -
@octaviankelp Mar 2022
Thanks for your nice comment on Bound to wander! Amazing jazz/blues sound here!
-
@wylddandelyon Mar 2022
I love autoharp and I love minor sevenths, so nevermind that you have to buy felt for the chord bars and cut your own, I think it's totally worth it.
-
@prsongsmith Mar 2022
Thanks for taking the time to comment on"End of the World Pt2" - I appreciate the kind words!
-
@hmorg Mar 2022
Thanks for the comment on "Dance of the Desert Sand"! I'm still not sure if I like the song myself but the bass sound was indeed what brought the whole thing about.
-
@andrea Mar 2022
Thanks for your thoughtful comments on Open Up the Window :)
-
@jaegerin Mar 2022
Thanks for your kind words on “The. Sun is Here”. Much appreciated!
-
@scubed Mar 2022
Thanks so much for your kind comments on the electric car song and the video collab!
-
@mikehex Mar 2022
Thanks for the listen and comments on I Reckon My Time Has Come. Harmonica is kind of a new thing for me, really appreciate the feedback
-
@paulharrison Mar 2022
Thanks for you nice comments on Its’a Not Too Late. I appreciate your taking the time to stop by and listen.
-
@mikeb Mar 2022
Thanks for the listen and comment on 'We Don't Have a Clue'!
-
@yewnorker Mar 2022
Thank you for your comments on 'all the same.' To be honest, I wrote so many, I had to stop and think, now which one was that? You wrote a boatload yourself.
-
@berni1954 Mar 2022
I haven't explored Garage Band enough. I see. I love the classic 1960s feel that a Hammond instantly gives to a recording.
-
@berni1954 Mar 2022
Glad you liked my "Furry Felines" - I was particularly pleased with the names for the band members, especially Paco Pasteurised (Jaco Pastorius) :-)
-
@steer Mar 2022
Thank you for the kind words on my song "Declaration!"
-
@sherrycanary Mar 2022
Hey Roddy....that is amazing what you did with the song. That bridge is so edgy and perfect for the lyric. So cool to hear your funky self. You are always adding to your arsenal .
It is so original. Thank you. Fun to do collab with you after so long -
@kahlo2013 Mar 2022
Wow!!! Thank you!!! They are both fantastic!!! What great music!!!!!
-
@kahlo2013 Feb 2022
Awesome!
-
@tunecat Feb 2022
Thanks for the feedback on my keys for tge 4 video. I also really liked guitar abd chords and tight playing ( I think I said this already but bares being repeated). Fun was had!!!
-
@sherrycanary Feb 2022
Great Roddy...I knew you were the man for the job. Put it up as new demo or no one with hear it!
-
@sherrycanary Feb 2022
Thanks for comments on my song.
I just put one up and was thinking about you for it. Didn't know if you had time to eke out another....but you were the first person I thought of.
It's called If Ya Got It Use It. I just posted it -
@pearlmanhattan Feb 2022
Your guitar was very inspiring - the words wrote themselves! Felt like I was channeling my inner "Corrs" LOL Thank you - it was the best collab ever!
-
@kahlo2013 Feb 2022
I would LOVE that
-
@cindyrella Feb 2022
Okay. Thanks!
-
@yewnorker Feb 2022
Thanks for de-zonging That Thing's Gonna Blow. If I wrote how it really affects the locals it would be a sad sad blues song. Lives and livelihoods severely disrupted.
-
@tunecat Feb 2022
Thanks for your nice comment about my ‘not a haiku’
-
@cindyrella Feb 2022
Great! Can't wait to hear it!
-
@cindyrella Feb 2022
Wondered if you'd be interested?
They played for me -
@grenzgaengerin Feb 2022
thank you very much for comment "Under the Sahara sand" :D
-
@gardeningangel1 Feb 2022
Thank you, this is perfect!!! I'll let you know when it's done and I figure out how to go about listing you as a collaborator.
-
@gardeningangel1 Feb 2022
Hi Roddy! I'd love it if you'd play Tiny Cowboy 2 in my silly sketch. If you can record with minimal background noise would be great but it's all for fun so don't go too far out of your way. Just leave a couple seconds between lines so I can puzzle them together. Thanks!
-
@mandolinda Feb 2022
Thanks Roddy. I am having a blast playing with this GarageBand app. People told me it was idiot proof, but it took me a year to make anything, and then take it from an iPad and send it somewhere. But now I can play.
-
@blindkiwi Feb 2022
Thanks Roddy, good to be back. :)
-
@theodamus Feb 2022
Thank you so much for coming to listen, and your lovely comment! I appreciate your outsized commitment to tiny instruments so far this FAWM - love the ukulele rep!
-
@dragondreams Feb 2022
Hi Roddy. :-)
I've put you in the first slot for instrumental corpse Echo. :-) -
@skibum1066 Feb 2022
No lyrics here, but I listened to your bandcamp and know you are a true Scot...and I like your jazz. Good luck wit them Aussies
-
@timfatchen Jan 2022
Hihi! we're all back, gasping and wheezing through our masks! (hey wait, that's old age in my case...) (on which topic, I can get "Niel" edited to "Neil" in that post if you want. But it has a certain eyecatching charm as it is.! :D )
-
@guatecoop Jan 2022
Hey Roddy! I hope that you have a great FAWM! I saw that you worked in a library in Edinburgh…is that where you live? I LOVE that city so much. Been many times and even “lived “ there for a couple of months during the festival to work odd jobs, which was great because I was having trouble getting my money from the US. I’m smitten with Scotland in general and there are certainly so many different areas and regions. Best wishes to you!

@tabitha Jan 2022
Hey Roddy, thanks for responding to my call for radio guests. Unfortunately due to the large response, I already have enough participants and don't think I'll have time to fit any more this time around, sorry (Which is sad, I would have loved to interview you!). If some of the interviews fall through or the time I have available increases I will get in touch though!
Cheers, and Happy FAWM - I hope you have a great one,
Tabitha -
@elainedimasi Jan 2022
Your. Sonnet. Is. AWESOME.

@tinear Jan 2022
Cheers, I hope you have cracking good FAWM

@mandolinda Jan 2022
Thank you for the greeting. Very nice to see you as well. Looking forward to your instrumental songs.

@gerrybhoy Jan 2022
Hi Roddy, good luck, enjoy.
