Please feel free to critique, as it helps me to learn.
I play what sounds good to me. FAWM is fun because I have complete control, for better or for worse. My goals this year are to improve on my mic choice and placement, mixing/eq-ing, and hopefully encourage as many of the people around me to be a part of FAWM to any degree, including my wife and two sons, if possible. I also would enjoy collaborating again with my brother, @zecoop (thank you for getting me into this), as well as others who are interested. Writing a song or two with my sons would be great! In terms of songwriting, I tend to be very chordy and would like to give my songs some more space for layering of sounds and texture.
I truly admire the creativity in others and am energized when I am fortunate to have a spark myself, too. I also do appreciate collaborations and will do whatever I have time for.
*A note about collabs: If someone wants to collab on a song that I've posted, I am fine with that and will post it separately. I also am fine with multiple people doing the same song, as I find it fascinating to see how different people do very different things with the same music. My wife always gets the first choices on songs, of course.

Yes! I've been wanting to collab with you two! I have a few ideas.
Have a great FAWM!
What a coincidence! I’m glad to see you here again, looking forward to hearing your fresh tunes! 🤘
Hola Rob, I look forward to hearing what you spin out for us again this year. :) I think of you and hope you and your family are well.
Hello Rob, hope we can collaborate again this February.
Hello! Thanks for stopping by! I hope you have a great FAWM and have fun making things. :)
Guatecoop! My favourite of all the coops! (tied evenly with the other coops of course) :p Hope you have a wonderful time! Would be awesome to hear the 2 minor coops with you! <3
Hey to you too! Hope this FAWM is filled with magic for you!
Brother!!!! Looking forward to having lots of fun. :)
Playing together again is my goal Rob!
👋
Hi Rob, looking forward to your stuff. Happy FAWMing!
Hello. I hope your FAWM will be pleasant to the ear.
hey there, all is well here, hoping the same for you, and I'm looking forward to another fun-filled February!
...hey! - thank you for the nice greeting!...
...generally 8-tracks are available almost as many as 4-tracks over here - personally at the moment i have a working 688 and a working 238 in my racks; @wehappyfew (UK) is publishing videos with his 8-track every now and then, the last one a week (or so) ago...
...if we ask around we might find more people with such machines; last year i started an 8 track that made its way via the UK to the US and was finished by @zecoop

Let's do this thing!
Wheeeee ... here we go!
Hey Rob welcome back and I am so glad you have more time this year to really have a great FAWM!
No plans or any overarching strategy this year, just bang out some tunes, do collabs, some fun challenges and use some neglected gear…
missed seeing you mate! have a great fawm, I will be around!
Hi Rob good to see you back hope you have a great FAWM, and maybe we can aim for a collab or more this year?
happy FAWM to you too! thanks for the comment - most of my music is just guitar and vocals but I’m gonna be trying to add more casiotones and wind stuff this saunter around, e.g. my friend Juno got a clarinet and I wanna see if she can provide as a guest instrumentalist. maybe accordion too, I keep underestimating how versatile it can be. excited to put my ears on your stuff too when the time comes around! have a good one :-)
Hey, just wanted to thank you for your comment on my profile! Such a nice community.
Just stopping by to say Hello.! Have a great FAWM
Glad to see you here as well! All the best to you in FAWM!
So glad to see you here! Let's see what sort of trouble I can get into here. Who knows, maybe a Cooperider collab?
