@mikedelaney 22h

thank you for the comment on my song.

@theenglishassassin 1d

Thanks for taking the time to listen to Duck and Cover.
Be like Bert! 😄

@rekindle 2d

Bedankt voor je mooie woorden bij "Praat Met Mij"!

@tamsnumber4 3d

Thanks for listening to mine and Cindyrella's song "No Begging"!

@zu_blus 1w

I'm very glad you appreciated my song, thankds for the comment and good job on the challenge, you're a songwriting machine!

@rogerhammond 1w

Yeah, Emilia used to sing along with your songs when she was about three years old but she's almost twenty now (!) so that was was a while back :) ... she especially liked the one with "you act like a fish on a line .." ... I love that one too - brilliant melody and great idea - and I remember covering it at the Backstage once, way back when...

@rogerhammond 1w

Thanks for the comments Max. I lost track of your page for some reason over the past few days ... there's no let up in your productivity ... kudos to you, good man!

@freddie13 1w

Thanks for your comment on the skirmish
I will listen to some of your songs.

@dutch 1w

Tuuuuuuuuurlijk ben ik er weer bij! Al was het maar om jou een beetje in de gaten te houden. Jij bent gewoon single-handedly verantwoordelijk voor zeker de helft van alle fawm songs dit jaar! Laat je nog wat cloud ruimte voor ons over? ;)

@willow1 1w

Cuidado con las cabras!!

@markfulwider 1w

Hey there! Thanks for popping by to comment on @wsharper69 and mine collaboration! You have definitely NOT been a FAWM Stalker THIS year! I am counting 14 songs so far and we are not even HALFWAY through! You go! Blessings!

@ceilidh 2w

OMG! Thank you SO much for your kind comments on "You Can't Fight Mother Nature"! I know folks who have fled or are thinking of fleeing to Amsterdam (thank you) to escape the persecution the Orange One would like to pursue here. I hope the courts can keep him from having his selfish way until we can change our congress and/or until we can PRY the megalomaniac out of OUR White House.

@katestantonsings 2w

Likewise, Max!! I look forward to catching up on your songs throughout Feb. & March! You're rocking this FAWM my friend!

@katestantonsings 2w

I ended up using the Dutch phrase, "Wie goed doet goed ontmoet" for my comment challenge! I hope you enjoy. Thanks for the creative suggestions, Max!

@rogerhammond 2w

Hi Max, thanks for your lovely comment on 'It all passes'. It's quite something to feel a song in that way. Really glad you liked it.

@lukas 2w

Haha, we saw that you snuck in early. No worries, we did have to manually re-adjust your early donation once we reset the site for this year, but that was easy.

Thanks for kicking the tires, and for being part of this community for so long!

🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

@sapient 3w

Hay Max - Wishing you an AMAZING FAWMbruary! 😀
