Write, record and post onto FAWM a song or instrumental, all within an hour !
It doesn't have to be perfect - it's the doing that's important, and the FUN !
Please please remember to listen to everyone else's song who partakes in this skirmish :) It's part of what makes them so much fun :)
You can work out your time zone here: https://www.worldtimebuddy.com/
See you there, good luck, peace, health and FUN !
(please let me know what else I need to include as I can't remember from last year ;) ) -
@andrea Feb 2022
Hi Amanda, this is my first FAWM. Can I write lyrics only for the skirmish? Thanks
-
@mariekevinkmusic Feb 2022
@andrea Yes you can. You are the only person who judges what is or is not right for your FAWM. If you only write lyrics, you cannot be expected to write a melody for a Skirmish :-) So post away.

@jwhanberry Feb 2022
@ajna1960 Thanks for doing this. Should the tag be S020222? Wed is the 2nd. Sorry, I inherited the proofreader gene from my Mother. ;)

@coolparadiso Feb 2022

@cairobraga Feb 2022
@coolparadiso for us both. I'll be tuning in.

@mariekevinkmusic Feb 2022
Wuhooooo. A SKIRMISH.
I will have to refrain from posting a picture of my cat Skirmish every time there is a skirmish :-) -

@ajna1960 Feb 2022
@jwhanberry yes you're right. I changed the text, and I'll see if I can ask a mod nicely to change the title :)
Thank you :) -
@ajna1960 Feb 2022
@wobbiewobbit please is it possible to change the Skirmish number in this title to this post ? It should be S020222 :)
Thank you ! -
@wobbiewobbit Feb 2022
@ajna1960 not a mod. paging @headfirstonly or @helenseviltwin

@helenseviltwin Feb 2022
done

@tuneslayer Feb 2022
Now wait, which "02" is the month and which is the day? :)
Putting this on my personal calendar until I can get a public skirmish calendar for this year organized. But before I get all excited about the calendar I should probably write a song to get started. -
@whispermouse Feb 2022
YES.

@ajna1960 Feb 2022
Thank you @wobbiewobbit and @helenseviltwin :) sorry for my mod-mix-up !

@ajna1960 Feb 2022
@tuneslayer The dates in the skirmish numbers are done the US way - so month first (02), then the day (02), then the year (22).

@tuneslayer Feb 2022
@ajna1960 I was mostly being a smartass because both digits are twos, but I really did want to know for setting up skirmish stuff, so thanks!
-
@keithcuts Feb 2022
I’m in
-
@andygriff Feb 2022
I'm in! Looking forward to it
-
@mariekevinkmusic Feb 2022
I am tapping my foot in time with the seconds on the clock. How weird is it that we sit here, waiting to be allowed to write, when we could be writing already... FAWM is a weird thing.

@hmstreetteam Feb 2022
Two minute warning … lights, tuning, water glass …

@berni1954 Feb 2022
And they're at the starting line now... As the Starter, Ms West, fiddles with her flag, we all wait anxiously for the off...

Mark...get set...

@sheilerk Feb 2022
Finally figured out the time conversion. Like, oh, London time! I’ll just stick that in my weather app and it’ll tell me when it’s 9!!

@ajna1960 Feb 2022
<--- has a very big starting gun :)

@liz561 Feb 2022
This is my first skirmish!!
-
@tuneslayer Feb 2022
Here we go. Can't do a demo yet because it would wake up my wife who is asleep right behind me, but I do have a tune in mind (or it could be sung to The Yellow Rose of Texas I suppose).

@berni1954 Feb 2022
Here's mine. Fluffed a couple of chords, but hey a deadline is a deadline!
This was a fun write! Thanks for the prompt, Amanda!

@hmstreetteam Feb 2022
This prompt got me thinking rock ’n roll. https://fawm.org/songs/126226/
-
@mariekevinkmusic Feb 2022
It is a whopping 54 seconds long. Had a thought and then.....tumbleweed after 20 minutes. Nothing else came out because I simply could not think of interesting chords.
I am very unhappy about this.
But there you go.
https://fawm.org/songs/126231/
Also, I couldn't go all out in my recording because I have another FAWMer upstairs in my house writing his own skirmish and I don't want to distract him. I will re-record it once I have more of an actual song. -
@ajna1960 Feb 2022
Here is mine :) Guess what it's called !!!!!!!!!!!

@ajna1960 Feb 2022
Please please remember to listen to everyone else's song who partakes in this skirmish :) It's part of what makes them so much fun :)

@whispermouse Feb 2022

@vivalarayna Feb 2022
Thanks for the prompt! Gave me the push to pick up these random lines I'd had sitting for months and give them a home.
