2025: Yes! Also, many many other things but mostly yes.

I'm thrilled to be back for another year. Fawm class of '08 here. Sometimes play with @nancyrost and @dasbinky in a supergroup called 2 Johns & a Nancy.

I commit to writing cliches, twisted and tired, boring songs, 1, 2, 3, 4-chord songs, songs I already wrote once, repetition, redundance, repetition, sentimental dross and whatever else happens and will not be embarrassed or otherwise annoyed about it.

I'm slow in getting started this year on music and listening, but it's simply because I have no idea what I'm doing or how to do it. Or not.

More importantly, I am looking forward to hearing and reading what you come up with and I'm here to champion you for it -- go you! 👏

Whoa, amazing, thank you so much. I will play with it tomorrow. Excited.

@debs 1d

Hey John! Just checking in; is the morph still on your radar?

@bradbrubaker 1w

I thought of this title idea and am passing it on in hopes it inspires you: A Patchwork Whale.

@ragbag 1w

Hi there @johncrossman . Just dropping by because I forgot to mention in the notes for my turn at morph5 that I'm not great at knowing what the chords I played are. I tend to add the odd extra note into lots of chords - the ones I have added to the lyrics should get you to roughly what I was playing. Any issues or clarification needed just get in touch. Cheers. :-)

Yo! Hope things on good on your end. I miss your tunes. If you need inspiration, you can always write Revolution 10 (the sequel to Revolution 9).

@bethkille 2w

Hi John!! Thanks for the kind words. Can’t wait to hear you soon!

@crisp1 2w

Great comments on When I Remember. Really appreciate them, John!

@tcelliott 2w

Well, I'm not too polite to take advantage of your kind nature. But the caveats apply, let me know if you need something else (or anything really.)

@tcelliott 2w

Thanks for your comment. I'm sending you an email. Feel free to say no.

Cheers from Wellington, infested with a number of cross men (we call them members of parliament).

I was reading an interesting thread on a geography forum where someone was lamenting that Madison was founded in the new world, as that isthmus would have been perfect for a fortified castle...
