Here for the songwriting. My Youtube channel link appears here. Optimistically, songs I write and like get posted here. There's Instagram also but I try not to be too consistent with social media 😜. Not a fan of letting a large language model write anything for me #stayinyourlane

Wish I were a gear person, but alas, I'm just not that interested. For all of you who are blessedly gear-prone and gear-fascinated, here's what I have:
-acoustic upright Everett piano (which hurts my ears)
-Yamaha FG-461S acoustic guitar (it's pretty and now rather old, and I'm still not sure I deserve it)
-Novation Launchkey 25
-Garageband and LiveLoops for kicks in my iPad, mostly, also on the Mac
-maracas, around here somewhere, and maybe a nose flute as well
- ha I forgot the mic, which is a Yeti Blue Nano

Random facts:
-I had a Sunday School teacher who told me, when I reached adulthood, that she used to refer to me as Queenie because I wouldn't talk much in class.
-My mother called me a clam once because I didn't talk much at home either.
-I wear size 6.5 shoes, in case any of you want to send me some. Pretty sure I don't have enough shoes.
- I read bios for the fun of it.

FAWM goals:
-write songs
-express gratitude that someone is making FAWM & 50/90 possible and I benefit from it
-comment and occasionally participate in forums
-write some #grainelevator music? My husband recommended this for FAWM 2025 when I commented that a Midwest grain elevator looked like Minas Morgul in the foggy distance. So maybe a new genre is in order.

Thanks for the comment on our collab! Yes, this one was a challenge for my voice, but it was very cool to be pushed out of my comfort zone and embody what I've been calling my "Theatre voice."

Since N squared = sum of 1 to N of (2N-1), (I don't know how to write mathematical notation in this message box) I'm confident of 1+3+5+7+9+11+13=49

LOL

Thanks so much, my friend, for your kind wishes.

I can *assure* you that my dancing was barely tolerable. I had three different partners at the dance and all of them were very kind to two-left-footed me. I genuinely stepped on my own foot and tripped myself at one point.

@audrey 1w

Thank you for the kind words about my song Grace. I appreciate them.

Hi, Miga, I'm so glad to see you back here, and thank you for your comments on @gwynjones' and my collab, "Love Isn't Any Fun." When I wrote the lyric, I knew I wanted to ask him to bring it to the table, and he certainly served up a meal! I'm glad you liked it, and it's really fun to hear the particulars of what grabbed you. Thanks!

@richaux 1w

Thanks for the comments (on See You Some); corralling synth sounds _is_ songwriting for me! More fun than melodies, chords, lyrics, meaning etc. -- I think I've spotted a problem!

I'd read the following post, if that was the one, ty -- the forum's production/technique posts are wonderfully supportive.

You wear, 6.5? Me too. Any shoes you are especially yearning for? Your grain elevators got me thinking that in NYC water towers are somehow similar. Glad you are here.
