German Filker (not a musician).
I wrote before that all my songs get the hashtag filk, no matter their genre, but I realized that I'm not really comfortable with that anymore, because it will confuse non-filkers. So instead I will use #filker, because like #singersongwriter that is always true. 💯

Most of my songs are in English, since I'm not a native speaker I welcome corrections.

FAWM 2020: 3 Songs
FAWM 2021: 2 Songs
FAWM 2022: 6 Songs
FAWM 2023: 18 Songs. YEAH, I did it!
50/90 2023: 14 Songs
FAWM 2024: 25 Songs + 1 Fragment. YEAH again!
50/90 2024: 7 Songs
FAWM 2025: 19 songs (one is shown twice) YEAH!

@ceilidh 1w

Hi C.J.! Thank you for your comment on "Croup & Vandemar", the villainous duo from Neil Gaiman's "Neverwhere". They DO seem to enjoy their job!

@hummingbear 1w

Thanks for your comment on "Tell Those Aliens." Yes only Elon for starters, don't want to overload the ship and have it come crashing back down! But yes, lots of others could go for a long ride too.

@cjk 1w

FAWM itself has still 15 hours and 15 minutes to go, but there are only a few hours left here in Germany (it's almost 10 p.m.) and the neighbors won't appreciate me singing and playing guitar. Also my fingers hurt so it's probably a good idea to stop playing.
I might still write a skirmish or two, but lyrics only, music is done for today.
As my first song this year was "Professor Suspicious" it's fitting that my last song is its companion piece "Watching the Watcher".
See you next year or maybe in 50/90.

@dotsandlines 1w

Thanks for your comment on "Unless It's Under Your Control". I wondered if anyone would pick up on those items. :)

@motorcitymusicman 1w

Thanks very much for your kind comments on several of my songs. Please feel free to put some music to "End of Days" sometime after FAWM. If you do, please shoot me a copy to the e-mail address to which you sent your version of "Season of the Witch" last month. Thanks!

@ally_nicole 2w

Hi, just wanted to thank you for the comment on Find Me Out! I appreciate it 🧡

@jgale 3w

Belatedly responding to comments on The Green Lady and the Hoya. I laughed when I got to yours--yes, yes. It's very important that my mother know that I DID warn her. Twice.

@audrey 3w

Thanks for the listen and the kind comment for my piece Grace is Hungry. Appreciate it.

@redlady8029 3w

Hi

Thank you so much for commenting and liking the lyrics/song. Thank you so much for the encouragement. That is why I write songs to uplift and build and promote love in this world.

Sincerely
Schantell--Redlady

@oaksnprairie 4w

The new "King" is up--hope you like it.

@cbmagic 4w

Hi CJ. Thank you for listening to my music.The Knights of the Wrong table, I hope will have Cristopher in the movie as a cameo. And I will have to get permission to use the name. but that is the concept. lol
I am glad you like my music. In the middle of the night I write and come up with conepts, and flesh it out in a day or so. My mind keeps working on it until I have it done. Then I crash (sleep) lol

@cbmagic 4w

Thank you I am glad you like it. And yes fingers crossed.

@scarlettcompton 4w

Hi to you C.J...wow in Berlin! Greetings from me in Vermont! So cool how making music brings people together in this holy month of FAWM :) Thank you so much for extending such kind words on my songs; You and Me & Move Along. I enjoyed reading them and they encourage me! I hope we can do more skirmishes together, they are my favorite! -Scarlett

@oaksnprairie 4w

I’d like to do the music for My King, the People if you would allow me.

@cbmagic 4w

Thank you CJ, I have some tv producers looking at my music now. I am trying different generas to see how and what I can come up with. fingers crossed.

@dr_griff 5w

Thank you for your kind comment on "Solidarity"! That one's at my YouTube page, but I'm not comfortable making my songs open for download here. I already have an album in mind for the first four songs I've put up during this FAWM, so it'll be on my Bandcamp pretty soon, I hope.

@ceilidh 5w

Hi CJ! Thanks for your kind comment on "Winter Crows"!

@lyricslinger 5w

Thanks for your comment on my Oh Wise King lyrics. And very insightful of you 😄

@beacon 6w

Hey CJ, would you be interested in writing the lyrics for the German A Capella 4 track song? I'm really hoping we can get this song done.

Also, I play hammered dulcimer. What dulcimer do you play?
