Twenty bloody years of doing FAWM!

In 'celebration', I am revisiting the concept from my very first FAWM, 'Signs of Life', (writing songs inspired by 14 pictures taken on my walk to work), though I'm expanding the reach a little this time round.

Johnny Cashpoint (aka j$) - You may not like it but it IS meant to sound like that.

@fuzzy 5d

Thanks for the comment on my Leonard Peltier song. It's not a mandolin or banjo, it's actually my pink electric guitar with the pictures of Justin Bieber on the back. I'm playing around on the high E string.

@gordon 5d

Hi Paul, have found it now and sent you a mail,

G

@gordon 5d

Hi Paul, will do! I can't find your email yet, but will ask Pete if I really can't find it....

@ambroise 1w

I spoted some fawmers singing in french, plus I could probably... Snare ? Con ? Set-up ? Oh I know : convince (!) some from my immediate environnement...

Maybe we should keep some of the original melody lines : "C'est la lutte virale" is much funnier because it reminds of "c'est la lutte finale".

@ambroise 1w

I love the international zomby anthem ! But le music is already written since it is The International. Were you suggesting we made a pastiche destroy version of it ? For a women anthem we would need female vocalists...

@robinleaf 1w

Hi! I have you in my spreadsheet for a summer challenge. :)

@fuzzy 1w

Sent you an email.

@gordon 2w

Hi Paul, I've had it for years and just never managed to play it. The tuners are practically seized up but it still has a nice ring to it. As it were. Allison is encouraging me to try to use as many instruments as possible, hence the recent uke and Harp outbreaks!

@fuzzy 2w

I will endeavour to do my best.
I will get back to you!!

@fuzzy 2w

Thanx for the comment.
I think I'll call the next one "Wet, Glistening and Unctuous".

@sapient 2w

Thanks, Paul!
It's not totally likely that I'll do a lot more like that one, but it's fun to branch out and learn something new :)

@gordon 2w

Really enjoying your concept this year Paul, never quite sure what to expect, but great inspiration for songs. And yes, cows might communicate, but they don't really talk like us. Now goats on the other hand...

@heuristicsinc 2w

All the yes, let's do a song!

@ambroise 2w

Moi j'aime bien ton français terrible. (Did you know terrible was french for terrific ?) Merci pour ta critique sur Pêle-mêle.

@gordon 2w

Hi Paul, in the interests of full disclosure, I haven't read the article myself, but the headline was inspiration enough for the song...

https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20250204-the-linguists-studying-how-cows-talk-to-each-other-in-language#

Enjoy and let me know if it's worth reading

@heuristicsinc 2w

thanks, my bass on that track is the lovely scarbee rickenbacker, a sampled instrument. i like its sound a lot.

@ambroise 2w

I am impressed that you recognized my sound !
Thank you for your feedback. The link was wrong I set it right, it should be "Oll Korect" now.

@vonnieknows 3w

Hi Johnny, awesome that you're interested in a collab this FAWM. Will reach out on FB so we can work out logistics. Smiles Vonnie.

@max 3w

Greetings from Amsterdam!

Have fun!

@ambroise 3w

I'm good too thanks ! In Paris for 2 days due to a librarians' colloquium. I'll be back in Poitiers for the first 3 weeks of FAWM. Where will you be ?

Hey, it's possible you don't remember our chat with D. about 12 bars blues... It got me thinking about it and I fear there could be more 12 bars structure than usual in my songs this year. Not exactly I-IV-V, though. I promise I'll try to pervert it as much as I can.

@sapient 3w

Hey Paul!
Gosh, here we all are again, eh?
😄

@fuzzy 3w

J$!!!!!
Have a super awesome FAWM!!!

@ambroise 3w

Hey there ! Good to see you ! Looking forward to listen to your songs !
How have you been ?
