Hi Everyone!

Update. It's Feb 18, 2025. I got promoted at work. I am now officially a rock climbing instructor at Vertical World in Seattle. The downside, for my FAWM, is I've been at work every day shadowing all the different classes in addition to teaching my own sessions. I'll try to make time when possible to get the ideas in my head out.

I love the quality of FAWM songs I've heard so far, especially from some of the new FAWMers. Last night I helped @javakat343 record a vocal for one of her collabs, and we began collaborating on another of her songs. She's an amazing singer and songwriter.

My ambitions for this year may have been too big. I may have to defer the a cappella vocal arrangement project. A few of my songs surprised me. I revealed some things that I never would have previously. I took down one song because I felt it was to angry, but I might put it back after I work on it some more - and find the courage to expose it to the world.

Anyway, I love you guys and wish you strength and continued inspiration. I believe that this is important work we do. It may feel hopeless at times, but it's anything but that IMO. We strip our souls naked and find that we are beautiful and valuable, even if no one listens. We don't melt or burn up. Then again, sometimes a song reaches the ears and hearts of others, and real change occurs. Our lyrics and melodies are as real as brick, steel and mortar, and our songs as functional as buildings, roads and bridges.
