FAWM NUMBER 9, 2022!!
So glad to be back in the safe space where music, hearts and souls shine. I hope the insanity of my daily life will still allow me time to create and be very active this year.
My first cd "This Girl" is finally nearing completion and am hoping to have it in the spring, it wouldn't be possible without this yearly push to write.
Thank you for nine years of magic my friends!

Thank you Tammy for your beautiful comment on my piano piece. It was very moving to read.
Thank you so much for your kind comment on "Doors and Corners". It was so nice of you to come back for another listen. I really appreciate it. I came into FAWM this year with no particular goals, yet this has been my best FAWM ever and, in no small part, thanks to your challenges which inspired some of my best music. Thank you for that, and I look forward to 'seeing' you here again next year. :)
:-)
Thanks so much for listening to That Crystal Ball. I was so excited with what Carley did with it. I saw The Statewide Pawnshop on a drive from Tennessee to Tulsa in 2019 and wrote the name down on the outside of a brown paper bag. I was pretty happy to find a song for it to live in. I am loving your songs. Hope I’ll get through the rest of them before the site disappears. Look forward to seeing you at FAWM ‘23 and maybe the 50/90.
Hey! I popped back on and was delighted to read your comment on Lie in the Folds. Thank you so much, very kind!
Thanks for listening ”Kaksin karkuteillä”
Awww, thank you so much for your kind words. They really made my day and I'm so glad you enjoyed the story and songs. It was a ton of work. Like, I don't know why I punish myself like this, honestly LOL
I am always thrilled when you do any of my lyrics! We are soul sisters and I think I'm a better songwriter because of you. There are so many FAWMers with so much talent!
Thanks a lot for your touching and insightful comment on my wheeze against war ("Anlässlich Krieg" - On The Occasion Of War)!
Congratulations on your win, Tammy, and thank you once again for "Be There for Me." You are a magic maker!
Thanks for your kind comment on “South Wind”! It was a very fast skirmish write. After listening to it again, I think it’s darker than I intended - need to revisit & lighten it up a little. :-)
Thank you Tammy for you comments on "Rather Raise A Glass"...such a heartbreaking situation there and only getting worse. :(
Thanks and I see you made it also!
Thanks. Catherine sure did wonderful!
Thank you for the lovely comment on my lyrics “Remember”.
These were all memories of different (best) friends throughout my life. ( all happen to still be good friends) The first one being my big brother, the last two, my husband.
Ah, I see! Good, good :) I'll have to check them out.
Thank you so much for the comment on "But the Stars Shall Never Be Put Down"! I didn't actually share the track in the forum thread, but I'm glad you found it anyway. I don't know anyone personally in Ukraine, but still wanted to craft this track as a sign of solidarity and a stand against these horrific acts.
Thanks so much, Tammy, for the kind comments and lovely collaboration. I truly appreciate your lovely music and am grateful for the gifts you share! I hope to listen to more of your songs over the next few weeks and to future collaborations! Liz
Thank you for your kind comment and the translation. I will copy it in the lyrics later on.
Did you understand the German lyrics?
I believe, that the only way out of this conflict is to put down all weapons - but the oppposite is happening now.
Thanks for your kind comments on ‘veselka’
Hi Tammy, glad to see you back too. Congrats on your 14, we did it once again.
Hooray!
Congrats on getting over the finish line and for your comment on my final FAWM song Happy Oblivion. It's not quite right, but I know the potential is there. Looking forward in checking out your songs too in return this week.
Congrats on 14 songs my friend! Nicely done!!
Tammy, thanks! You make my day (night) leaving that comment, such a compliment coming from you! (Re: if it feels good...)
Thanks for stopping by, checking out "Together" and "Tiny" and leaving such kind comments, Tammy. I'll be back to return the favor soon, I promise. :)
Thank you for your kind words, Tammy...
Thanks for your comment on 'My fire is blazing tonight' lyrics... I just readjusted a few things.
Your Jesus in the garage made me chuckle. Thanks for your kind words on my song.
Thanks for your reminder to tag my boat name challenge song. I am technologically challenged and I keep forgetting to do that.
If @sherrycanary can get the song to you, DO it! I promise not to swoop!
If you happen to want to record that harmony, I wouldn't complain..... ;)
(no rush or need for FAWM, just saying)
Thanks for the listens and congrats on the win!!
I had a song, but it got swooped up as soon as I posted it.
I have one more in me almost done. I will send to you if it worthy.
Your work has just blown me away this FAWM
Hi doll
I am pretty late to the show, but slowly but surely getting there,
You are fantastic!
I have one song I am finishing, and if you have time, I would love it if you could bring it to life
Thank you! <3
Hi Tammy, thanks for saying so. I will get back to you too! Too tired to listen with tired ears at the moment :)
Hi Tams. The fundraising thing has been modded, expanding on what you said, thanks.
Thank you for starting the thread. I was planning on starting one this morning, but words can be hard to find.. You got the conversation started which is very important!
Thanks for your kind words! Yeah I'm in a weird headspace. But going to the UK soon for a week, so that'll do me good.
You know it
Go for it!
Catherine did my Razor Sharp. It's good!
Chip put music to my Fiona https://fawm.org/songs/133252/
Thank you so much, Tammy for your amazing, kind and supportive comment on my walking alone piece. It was very moving to read.
Thank you for the lovely words. I’m having fun with the boatnames challenge! =)
Thanks for your great comments!
Tim did Dark Secret and it's haunting!
Dear Tammy, I was absolutely shocked to learn that you were so badly mistreated as a child in front of your class. It is wonderful that you managed to overcome this horribly wrong judgment and became such a prolific and amazing singer. You can be ever so proud of yourself! I wish that those who did this to you will come to apologise!
Thank you for your <3 comment!!!
Aww, thanks for your kind words on Angel Who Weeps. That is so sweet. I remember growing up with my parents. We'd always go to the cemeteries on Mother's Day, Father's Day, Memorial Day and Veterans Day, but we'd always bring extra flowers and flags for others who have passed on who seemed forgotten and unattended to. I loved those memories and just overall... visiting cemeteries. So peaceful...
Thank you very much for your kind comment.
I did know that, I just don't put all the things in all the tracks :D Thanks for listening! I see I have some catching up to do over here.
Thank you for your kind comment on "Returning Home from Market", and I like your title suggestion too. I like having the word 'market' in the title, because it brings to mind the countryside, farming and hard work. At this rate, I may never decide on a title. Ha ha. Your generous comment made me smile. Thank you.
Thanks so much for the input, Tammy, I lifted the vocal a little (maybe a little too much LOL) better now? https://fawm.org/songs/132899/
Thank you for your comments on my song Blame It on the Flowers. I look forward to hearing more of your music.
I only use metal picks on the autoharp; other people say plastic picks sound fine to them across the room, but to me it sounds like I'm playing washboard when I use plastic. I don't know what picks you use, but if you're using plastic, maybe that's the clicking the microphone is picking up?
I'd love to hear you playing autoharp one of these songs!
Thanks for all your comments (and, of course, for listening)! Looking forward to finding some quality time with more of your songs soon.
My dear one, you have me feeling very spoiled! Thanks for reading all my lyrics. I sure do hope to get back to posting demos of my own at some point before we’re done. I am simply not feeling like a singer at all right now, I haven’t written anything that moves me yet to sing. But I know it’s bound to pass. Two weeks to go! Plenty of time. And your encouragement is very sustaining. Thank you!
Thank you for the welcome!
Thanks for the wonderful complement on my Drifting album. We are planning an album release event on April 22nd which we are videotaping-I
will keep you posted!
Thanks for the comment!
Oh yay, it makes me really happy that you are also in New Hampshire! Thanks for leaving me a note! Hope you're having a lovely FAWM :)
Things could be worse: I used to live in the Bermuda Triangle, but the humidity didn't agree with me and it was a bitch getting a pizza delivered. :)
Thanks for the lovely comment!
Thanks for the listen and comments on 'Burnt Orchid'. Love your FAWM challenges!
Thank you for your kind comment on my boat name song "Freedom". So glad you like it. :)
Thanks girl. I am going to keep trying. I feel like I can do this- on my good days:)
HI Tammy!!! Thank you so very much for your kind comments on One More Mile. I respect you so much as a top-notch singer/songwriter, that praise coming from you means alot to me!!!!
Hey Tammy! Good to see you on FAWM this year! I probably won't be doing much music this month sadly, but I'll be popping in to see how everyone else is doing!
Heya! Thanks for the greeting! I wanna at least crank out a few songs this year. Good to hear from you again!
Oh...back at ya Sister. You've gotten in touch with some serious musical Mojo these last few years. So grateful you're here to dance with! :0)
Hi, Tammy! I am running SOOOOOOOOOO far behind this week. I'll get some things on the board in due time. :) I'm glad you're here!
Glad to be back - let the stabbing begin! LOL
Tammy! I would LOVE LOVE LOVE that!
So happy to see you back too. No worries. There are just so many FAWMers that it's hard to welcome everybody, and I think many of us are busy pre-FAWM getting ahead of laundry and house cleaning in prep for February's neglect of everything non-FAWM. :)
Thanks for your great comments on our song!
Hey! Thanks for commenting on Summer Moon and thank you again for the inspiration and challenge activity.
Thanks so much for the lovely comments, Tammy. :-) x
Hi Tammy!! I just can"t thank you enuf for the message on my soundboard! Looking forward to hearing your voice again!
Thanks for your comments! Hope you’re having a good FAWM! <3
