This is my 4th FAWM.
Over the past few years I have had some wonderful collabs...just another way to expand your musical horizons and meet some super great artists.
Mainly a guitar player but I have been learning/practicing the piano and bass. The plan is to incorporate these instruments into my music production, especially the piano. I usually write/start songs on a guitar but this year i am going to use the piano as the main "starting" point for a song creation...we will see!

I record at my small home studio 14'x14' using Studio One Pro 5.5 with a Steinberg UR 4i6 audio interface and do my own mixing and mastering. I made the commitment to write more lyrics in the past few years and it's a slow learning process but fun.

Main guitars are:
Fender 1997 stock tele
Epiphone Mark II
Red Squire Strat
First Act electric modified (painted matt black, a new Seymore Duncan humbucker and pots)
Fender Jag bass(a gift from my daughter )
D16 Martin Acoustic
114ce Taylor Acoustic
ES335 Epiphone
PRS Santana SE version
An old teardrop Mandolin (circa 1910).

Amps:
1998 Fender Ultra 112Plus amp
2012 Fender Acoustasonic amp
2009 Washburn bass amp
Keyboard
M-Audio Keystation 49

Personal pronouns he/ him Gm7 or Garry are Ok too

Hi Garry - You had mentioned maybe coming to FAWMStock West. I wanted to be sure to relay details of what the current plan is.

We've narrowed down the weekend and venue for FAWMStock West -
August 18th through 20th in Ocean Park, WA!
Cost is planned to be about $84 (plus fees) per person, not including food. That costs covers lodging on site and activity space.

We need to put together a minimum count of attendees to be able to reserve the facility. We'd like to have that information within the next two weeks or less, if possible.

If you are planning or at least leaning strongly toward attending FAWMStock West, would you please add your info to this Google Form:

https://forms.gle/oFMRsWhvER5RfqzWA

Please note that this form is just to confirm if there is enough people to make this happen. If we get enough people signed up, we'll probably setup an EventBrite page or something similar later this year as more details get worked out.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks!

Yo man, finally getting around to responding to what you wrote on my soundboard (almost called my "wall" - went back to oldschool MySpace for a minute lol).
I really appreciate you, dude - you're always so encouraging and always have something nice to say about my stuff. I also appreciate you even WANTING to jump on any of my tracks; means a lot to me!
Yeah 50/90 should be more Megamind focused for me, so looking forward to us all getting together!
Take care until then and i'll see you around on the discord!

I think fawm radio is a good thing, whether or not it changes what I do with my podcast is of no real consequence! The important thing is getting a wider listening audience to Fawmers. I would personaly be a bit concerned if it was just a place where fawmers listen to fawmers! Firstly as it wouldn't widen the audience and secondly in my experience is it would slowly fade. Take this year all the hype again on how March would be big everyone would be staying. It is very dead already on 9 march. The forums are not a 10th what they were and it's the old hard core who are listening again. I expect this to happen because people make such huge efforts in Feb and its not sustainable long term! That could easily happen with fawm radio if it can't tap into a wider market and you will end up with a huge effort for a handful of listeners. It can work but it will need a lot of work ! For a start there needs to be an understanding of why! And what are its goals.

Thanks for your nice remarks on "I Never Wanted to Say Goodbye". To answer your question, yes, I have done a couple of musical plays but quit doing that because I have a devil of a time remembering the script and, even worse, I stood out like a sore thumb in the dance routines. I think if anything in my past has helped with my performance, it would be nine or ten years teaching high school as well as being in several small-town bands that played for weddings and bars. I'm no longer involved with any of that.

It looks like you are a fellow Canadian. Yay!

Hi Garry
You don't know me, and I am a recent fan of yours.
After reading the Geezers thread, I decided to write a geezer song. I am an authentic geezerette! :-)
I decided that I wanted to do a collab with a fellow "Geezer", so I checked out the thread, and you are the man!
If you have time and interest, let me know.
I would like you to do a guitar track. I would sing it. I am pretty jazzy bluesy
It is called Not Old ( Just out of Warranty )
This would be an entirely random collab!

Hey hey! Excited to be paired with you. I am challenging myself to write lyrics to existing music. I am up for anything in regards to that. If you'd like to pitch ideas, I'm game. If you'd just like to write something and send it my way, I'm game. If you'd like to do something more collaborative like partial lyrics/partial music each, I am also game. But the one thing I do not want to do is write lyrics first. That is less of a challenge for me. How does that sound?
