I’m here, I’m taking part when I can. See you there! I’ll update my profile when I can.

Profile from before to edit (at last)

Updated profile - I do have a vast array of equipment and instruments, but a lot of those are in a storage unit at present.

At the tail end of 2021 we moved to a house with a little bit more room than we had at the flat/apartment where were living for previous FAWM's that I have taken part in.

The plus point is that there is a spare bedroom that isn't needed as a bedroom, so instead that's been repurposed as a studio space, with some of it used as storage if I'm being honest.

Slowly but surely that studio space is still taking shape.

A few of my guitars and basses are here, along with ukuleles, mandolins, and all sorts of other stuff.

My BIG keyboard controller of over thirty years is finally set up, and connected through Reason software to provide keyboard and synth textures.

Thanks for the comment on "Road to Redemption" and congrats on the win. Simon's guitars always get me to tap into something I wouldn't normally find, and I really liked how this one came out.

Hi Martin, thanks - I had heard of 50/90, but didn't get the reference! I think I have too many other musical projects - including my album - to do it this year. However, maybe next year... Good luck!

Thanks so much for kind words on The Invitation. Nancy's lovely words easy to find inspiration from. Looking forward to more time in March to come back and have a listen here. I hope you'll still be around.

Thanks for the comment on 'Ghosts of Copper Mountain'!

Oh my, thank you so much for your kind words about my Green Boots song. I’m a bit chuffed with how it came out, imperfect though it is, because I think I managed to convey what I wanted to, which isn’t always the case.

Sorry, Marv. I couldn't resist that. I really did like the imagine of you pottering in your wellies though.

You gave me a opportunity Martin..... it soon could be one song if I work this out 😀 (I'm just happy to be working with you again 👍🏼)

Silk Degrees is one of my all time top 5 albums so it wouldn't surprise me if it had leaked a little into my music 🙂

It's never too late, Martin! It goes on all month. Sorry for the delay. Work has been slowing me down. Whah!

Martin, so kind of you to give a listen to "So Many Cars, Such Little Drive!"
[avatar]
Thank you Martin for taking the time to read through my set of lyrics. That’s not easy to do when also trying to meet the challenge! Your comments were an encouragement to me to keep participating. Especially the pointing out of a near progressive song form.

Man, I was listening to "By Hook or By Crook" again, while working on a mixtape for @standup... that was one of my all-time favorite songs. So good!
