hi! i started FAWM.

////////////////////////////////
i'll be honest: kinda burned out this year. i'm finding my groove where i can, though. will try to comment/reply with whatever's left...

either way, thanks for being a part of this musical experiment.
////////////////////////////////

i've been gradually manifesting a preference for 4-stringed instruments and might try a whole FAWM with just ukuleles, mandolins, bass, and tenor guitar/banjo. well, those plus keyboards, drum machines, and various percussion. 😄

science nerd + pop music junkie who grew up in the bluegrass, went to school in the tundra, and now i live in steeltown. i've been in bands in all of those places.

My friend, yes, let’s zoom after FAWM is over! Brian and I would love that!!!!

@katestantonsings 1w

Happy Birthday 🎉🎈🎁 May it be full of great 🎶 music 🎵!

@mikeskliar 1w

Hi- yes, that was an intelligent and good way to retitle that thread ! . Thanks!

@cts 1w

Yuppers! Just tagged you back!

@cts 1w

Hey there! Question for ya - might you have time for adding some jazzy guitar ingredients to some jelly I'm working on? 😄

@phylo 1w

Thanks for you nice comment on the collab with @srcoops @cts and me. That was seriously fun to work on.

@charliecheney 1w

Cheater! 😂

@nancyrostMod 1w

Just updated the four-track liner notes with who played what, in what order. :-)

@elainedimasi 1w

Robot ibexes in their natural habitat? Ex-æ-æ-æ-æ-æ-æ-æ-æ-ctly! X-D

@dreamscuba 2w

Thank you, the metamorphosis collab from last 50/90 is awesome!! Well done.

@lyricslinger 2w

Thanks again for creating Purple Hay. Would it be possible to get an MP3 of it emailed to me? I'd love to be able to keep listening to it once this year's FAWM is finished

@chasingandromeda 2w

Just stopping by to thank you for all you do for this community.

@max 2w

Hi Burr, thanks for paying a visit and to listen to 'No Advice'. Knowing you're going through a valley at the moment, it means more than a lot. Thanks!

@ductapeguyMod 2w

Today is a great day to create music. I cannot wait to hear your new songs.

@jaxmuzak 2w

Hi Burr! Some part of my brain can't compute that you know about my YT channel... so I've filed that under "YAY! Process later." And instead, I want to thank you for everything you do to support and maintain this incredible community. I wish I'd found FAWM years ago, if only to see how it evolved into such a special place/thing. I know we're only 5 days in, but it's been everything I hoped.

(... and of course, I'd also love to know what non-computer recording device you're using/fighting these days. I'm finishing a song on a Korg D888, and only just realizing that I don't know how to connect it to my computer. Surprises, puzzles, workarounds... it's the life!)

@morti 2w

Hi Burr!

@max 3w

Thank you Burr for keeping everything running smoothly and creating a safe, welcoming FAWM for everyone! Enjoy FAWM25 and thanks again for starting the madness in 2004.
Couldn’t resist the early check-in on the shadow site and play around a bit while everybody was waiting for the site to open. 😁 Sorry for that, but It felt so good to push that ‘add new song’ button on January 26th.
