Influences: Anything that makes me laugh, cry, or feel anything....and my FAWMily!
This is my 14th FAWM!
Breakthrough long Covid got to me.
Having had a pre-existing heart issue, I got slammed. Long story short, my heart rate was so high for so long my heart was weakened to need a pacemaker. It takes a lickin but keeps on tickin. Nothing will keep me from FAWM
*Update: Since I couldn't conjure the energy to write any music, all of my songs were lyrics. I wrote lyrics to 5 songs and all were collaborations! Thank all of you for cheering me on and the wonderful best wishes. You really are my FAWMily

Hey! Thank you sooooo much for your awesome comments on the Italian and French song! I was very happy to read them!
Thank you so much for your generous comments on Together and Tiny Grass, Sherry. I really appreciate it. Judging by the quality of your output this FAWM, I may be hoping to borrow some of your words next year! :)
For sure another collab is due. 2023!
Dear dear Sherry, I'm sorry I can't comment on each individually, but I just listened to all your collaborations and this is an awesome catalogue. I really admire your ability to work with others to create these great songs! I find collaborating a real challenge, but I appreciate the value in it and I would like to do it more. The musicians who worked with you really captured the heart and groove of your lyrics. I hope you are feeling better soon. And thank you for your comments on my songs, too! I'm thrilled that you were able to participate in FAWM this year.
Thanks for listening to my take on 'So Important'! I appreciate it!
Email should be with you
Hi Sherry
The demo is now up. Not sure that's how you imagined it but it's what came through for me. Cheers
I'm really pleased that you liked the music for 'If Ya Got it Use It. It's interesting that two people have commented on how the vocal sounds a bit like you singing. It was a real pleasure to work with your lyrics. Anyway, I hope you are on the road to recovery and feeling well.
It would be really nice to get the chance to meet, even online. I hope it works out, if not this time, then soon! :)
Here's your song - If Ya Got It Use It - hope you like it :)
Hey Sherry! I hope you are recovering from all your health stuff! So cool that you were able to still FAWM with us!!! Take good care of yourself and let's do this again next year (and many year after that!)
Re If ya got it use it. Thanks for asking me to do music. It would be a pleasure. As they say in the old time detective movies 'just give me 24 hours'
No problem at all, Sherry. (-: We can do 'Chain' later, maybe for the 50-90. ;) I hope you're feeling much better!
Thanks for your kind words on Jesus in a Thrift Store.
Thank you so much for your kind comment on Donna’s Licking the Light. It was a lovely collab to be part of :)
Hi Sherry. Sorry to hear about your situation. Hope you get better.
Many thanks for your lovely comments, especially on Fall in Love Too Fast. @crisp1 did a great job on it and I, well, did my best. I'm not a guitarist at all but I do like to sing all those American Songbook jazz standards. Lately I've been singing "Too Marvelous for Words" and "Gone With the Wind". You can learn so much from those classic songs, songwriting, arrangements, singing, etc. Well, you know that better than anybody. :)
Thanks so much Sherry, I really appreciate it. I just finished, so I am hoping to getting around and doing some listening. I will help you if you need me. Take care of yourself girl, you always inspire me!
Hi Sherry! Thanks girl! I got your message! What did you need?
Hey Sherry! Thank you very much for your generous comment on "Good and bad girls"! I was very happy to read it...
(Sherry, I've sent this to those who commented on the musical version) 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.
Hiya Sherry, so great that you've gotten some songs up. I'm running around at the moment, but I'll have a listen later. Love to you!
Thanks for your kind comments on my Take your man song!
Thanks Sherry, I have a list of 25 people I need to repay listens to and catch up on, and your track with Nadia is high on that list (and more of yours too). Please be patient, I've set myself a crazy production goal/ target to work to b4 fawm ends and march 1. Then I plan to take a deep breath and catch up with everyone... 5 days! :)
Yes, real life has almost completely taken over this month. But I worked on "Nobody" this morning and hope to finish soon. It'll be rough, but that's the reality of this FAWM for me.
Thank you Sherry for your beautiful collaboration with me. I've just posted our demo: https://fawm.org/songs/128510/
Hello, gorgeous! I'll be back for a listen later.
OK! In my head it's a swing blues.
Hi Sherry. I've played around with a couple musical ideas to send you, but nothing has struck me as worthy yet. I like your "Nobody" and would like to give it a try. My time, and space to think deep musical thoughts, are limited, but hopefully inspiration will strike. Can't let this FAWM go by without a collab with you.
Hi Sherry. No problem. :) Did you get the adjusted line that I sent you?
Hi Sherry, 1st try at "Will" now up. Sooo, you now have no option but full recovery because YOU are going to have to sing this one (must fix the extra bar that crept in the middle) and get the accent on WILL where it belongs!
Thanks for enjoying my lyrics-and for reminding me to look on the bright side of all this idiocy: lots of material for mining!
Hi Sherry, I've sent you my email. If you don't see it please check your spam folder, sometimes messages end up there.
Are...you.....being sarcastic with me?? I *do* have a sexy voice! Why else would the cops constantly show up at my house when I sing at the top of my lungs?
I've added you.
Hi Sherry, I'm very sorry to hear about your health issues. Thank you so much for listening to my jazz escape, for your kind offer and for purchasing it. Of course I'm always happy to collaborate with you. No worries about Valentine Snow, I've just uploaded it on youtube with my collaborator's video and it's okay as an instrumental. Please take care.
Would you like me to add you?
Hoping all is well with you today - sending you love!!
Yaaayyy, Sherry!!! I’m so glad you have some energy today. Thanks for checking in. Looks like I missed your first song. I’ll fix that, and will hope your energy continues to build back up for more. So glad you’re on the mend. <3<3<3
So glad to see you makin' some noise on the forums Sherry! At the very least, to soak in the love vibes coming your way from your FAWMily and if you're up for it in any small way, making a sound or two that honors where you're at right at this moment. Love you sis...:0)
Thanks a lot for your comment! Random collabs are fun :)
Sherry, I sent you a new email yesterday. Did you get it?
Sherry, I got the first couple of lines of the message. :) Weird about the blocking. I've never had that happen before.
YOU.....you are just the best my song slingin' sistah! Any way you can hang out...there is good medicine for your heart and soul right here. Big hugs from the frosty Catskills. Love you Girl!
You made it and you've got one up! Roll on!
Hi Sherry, Happy to see you Here again. Lets make it happen... -Russ
Wishing you a wonderful month, Sherry! I’m happy to see you here!
On your marks.....Get set.....Watch out, here it comes!
Have a fantastic FAWM my friend.
Get well soon Sherry!!! Your wonderful music is much needed!!
Hi Sherry, I’m so happy to see you here again. 14, wow! Besides the amazing people you collab with, I’d be chuffed if I could do one with you too :) I hope your voice is back to 100% and if not, 50% is still pretty great.
Heya, Sherry You bring sparkle to a room! Sending continued well wishes and hope to have your sparkly presence here with us for FAWM 2022!
Have a wonderful FAWM! Wishing you good health and a productive month.
Hello dear friend. I hope you're doing well (all things considered). Wishing you a happy FAWM!
Hope you are feeling well, thinking of you and our FAWMtastic time together.....Gotta hear you singing it out!! Will be back to see how you are!!
