Another instrumental to finish up FAWM. I imagine us all on a tropical island getting ready for an end-of-FAWM beach party complete with cold adult beverages, edibles & smokeables, yummy snacks and a bunch of FAWMers with their guitars, ukuleles, steel drums, bass guitars, and yes, banjos! Ahhhh...and relaxxxx!
No lyrics. Just maybe something like, "Ah, that sure was fun, right?"

I'd be part of that party, for sure!
I love grooves like this - jangly, sunny, open to soloing by various instruments ... so fun!
@ampersandman Mar 2022
This has me smiling ... I possibly wouldn’t enjoy this sound as much otherwise, but reading your description I just have the image of FAWMers relaxing on the beach in mind, and this brings me enormous joy. Perfect and very creative FAWM over song!

Lap steel? Oh YES! And this island retreat sounds like a perfect place to spend the months until 50/90 kicks off. Where do I sign up?

I sure wish that your vision for the FAWM-over party would come to fruition....and you have to play this song--multiple times. Great vibe on this. Super chilled out and happy. At the FOP, I could see an all-star cast of singers adding their own vocals. Really nice song. Well done!

Well this really takes you away doesn't it? The steel drums really make the whole thing. Great!
@mardeycranbleson Mar 2022
Perfectly realized island song. I mean wow you really nailed this. Is this lap steel? I assume some of these instruments are synths like the steel drum but that steel guitar has to be real. Really love your playing I wish I didn't sell mine maybe I should try again.

Fun, indeed! Loved the steel drums! I started listening while doing dishes, so I didn't read the liner notes until I came to make a comment...as such I didn't know the steel drums were coming, and they surprised me (in a great way!). Of course, with the "island" tag, I suppose I should have been expecting them. What a delightful tune!
@winchperry Mar 2022
Yes, it sure was fun! I'm chilling with a daiquiri in the sand as I listen to this (I wish). Very nice!
@sheilerk Feb 2022
I love this! I have tons of Hawaiian music. Fell in love with it years ago on a trip there, and this takes me right back to the very best of the Islands. I totally agree that the words floating along with it should be, Ah, that sure was fun, right?, !!
@audrey Feb 2022
Your suggested lyric sounds about right. This is very sunny and oh so catchy. Now I want to party on a tropical island somewhere. Ha ha. Wonderful way to say goodbye on FAWM. But I hope you'll stick around for forums and listening in March. It's fun too. :)
@cindyrella Feb 2022
Ahhh this is such a perfect ending for the month! Lovely melody and all the fab instruments! Made my day!

And just before bed why not treat myself to a bit of staples magic. And yes omg i usally do exactly that when fawm has finished, combined with a hammock of course and yo've popped me right back to that world. Wonderful even in my dream mind. Love the minor section on this and the melodies you've got going matey. I can actually hear you singing a little melody on this too. Brilliant finish
