You asked about my gear and process, and I'm almost ashamed to say! I usually compose into notation software and have virtual instruments play, but for expediency I've been using SessionBand loops and chopping the hell out of them to fit my music. GarageBand is my DAW -- I'm an old age pensioner on a budget!! But thanks for the compliments! xx

Thanks for the comment (Out of Key) -- yes, Pete Shelley was an 80s dude; probably less famous for his solo career that I referenced, than for being the frontman for 70s punk band, The Buzzcocks. ymmv

Thank you so much for sending such a lovely message bout my songs. I appreciate the time in what can only be described as the busiest, most hectic and all round creative month in the year! Kenya is being really kind to us, we’ve met loads of lovely people and have been able to settle in really nicely. Well we did once our stuff finally arrived from the uk and my guitars made it, there was a 9 week period of no guitars that I now refer to as the ‘autumn of detachment 2024’ have a great rest of the month!

When I say "power to the people", I'm talking about electricity. That way electric companies can make money and we can have our TVs and blenders.

Thanks for taking a deep dive and commenting. I'm happy that you enjoyed my drafts 😊

The sad (but also good) thing about FAWM is that the site goes offline in March and all comments are wiped. You can make a backup of your page and your song sites, but it's a bit hard to memorize the context. Commenting in songs is highly appreciated. But I understand when you're lazy :D

👋 welcome to fawm!

i saw your forum post about the avatar image... sometimes opening the file in some image editing software and re-saving it will fix things. also make sure it is a smallish image (smaller than 10mb)
