    Hey, Melissa - Thanks for listening and responding to my songs. I was especially glad you liked My American Hero. I'm sad to be out of yours to listen to.....Though if we could have marked a third collaborator on this one that @emkaydeebee recorded, I would have added you, because parts of it grew out of your song Take the Bus. This one's called "(Then One Day They're) Gone" : https://fawm.org/songs/135327/

    Thank you for your comments on "Deep In The Heart"! I'm glad you liked it.

    I used Band In A Box to create the backing track. The pedal steel part is credited to a musician named Robbie Turner. BIAB uses samples of Turner playing the steel guitar to assemble the track. Sometimes the results are hilarious or unlistenable or both, but this one turned out pretty well. Unfortunately I have no idea whether Turner used a slide, but it sounds a bit like it.

    I love your rendition of Looking to Board This Train so much. The whole thing is so spectacularly spot on. And then that announcement at the end of it. Maybe we can do a whole album of Rush Hour songs, and you can make zillions playing them at stops on the 7 train. (Okay, I might be getting a little ahead of myself, but thank you, thank you, thank you.)

    I'm so excited that you're interested in doing music for one of my songs. I like your music so much, and I'd love to collaborate. If you like those lyrics for Looking to Board This Train, great. @bobjestes did write one version already, but I think the more the merrier. If you want another set of lyrics in addition or instead of those, just let me know. If you've got a theme or tempo or phrase or whatever, happy to do something custom, or just to send something along....

    Thanks for listening. Great to be compared to Nick Drake, but he was such a master of the instrument! My playing is a pale shadow for sure.

    Oh, and guitar strings on "Nothing" don't sound bright because I did a WHOLE LOT of eq to take the edge off. I'll like these strings more next week.

    Thank you about the kind words that you left about “in the flow”

  • @davidtaro  Feb 2022

    Ok, I’m all caught up! Will message you on Instagram, because that’s surely where all the cool kids hang out? (I’m neither a kid nor am I cool. Sigh).

  • @davidtaro  Feb 2022

    So I’m laughing HARD at your comments, and then I realised you’ve posted three songs I haven’t heard yet so—— yeah, once I’m done with that, I’ll come back to you on our band ;)

  • @angelinapowersuit Feb 2022

    Howdy neighbor! Just realizing that we are not too far apart - I'm Brooklyn for the most part. Oh - and thanks So much for your feedback on "The Ring!"

  • @davidtaro  Feb 2022

    Splendid. I feel like I want to lean into your comedy stylings. And maybe a duet? If you think of something subject wise that might work let me know (I think my email's on my profile). I'll have a think too. Hmmmm....

  • @nahlej381  Feb 2022

    I was talkin to peachy peach about kissy kiss!!! Had to bust out surfer rosa after you mentioned bone machine. Really appreciate that!

  • @nahlej381  Feb 2022

    Thanks so much!

    Process inquiries. Haha. A template in my DAW and a pretty laissez-faire attitude toward quality control. Incidentally, Mel, if you ever need a thousand guitars, keys, brass etc on a track, gimme a shout. Would love to work on one of your songs. Or maybe a collab sometime...? :)

  • @davidtaro  Feb 2022

    Yay, glad you’re back, Mel. Have an awesome February! Can’t wait to hear a fresh batch of your songs :)
