Back for my 18th FAWM! Pianist, singer-songwriter, collaborator, experimenter. She/her.

Collab requests welcome. I'll also be looking to write songs for upcoming solo and Two Johns & a Nancy gigs. (2JN includes fawmers @johncrossman and @dasbinky.)

If you knew Standup from FAWMs 2007-2022, you may share sympathy and memories on his Caring Bridge site.

Just before COVID hit, Nancy Rost and Eric Agner released their first record, Violet Cusp. Rost, a singer-pianist based in Madison, WI and Agner, a singer and bassist in Washington, D.C. have been co-writing long distance since 2008. Their songs, expansive and energetic, span the genre gamut.

I also work as a piano teacher, including virtually. New student inquiries arewelcome. Specialties include working with adults and non-traditional learners, applied theory, and jazz harmony.

Thanks for taking time to listen to my 2nd @dasbinky collab, Nancy. I value your insightful feedback and look forward to listening to more of your creations. XO 💜 🤗

I'm glad Fog Can Stay resonated with you. Grief can be so hard to express, and then you find a metaphor that just, works for the current state.

Thanks for your comment on "Don't Come Closer"!

Congrats on your trophy!

@leepat
Hey, thanks for commenting! There is indeed a lot of Bb, esp. in the middle part, and it's equidistant to E, so yeah. I'm still new at this :)
[avatar]
Thanks for listening to Small Talk! The space of that song stuck out to me too. Sometimes I fall into the trap of cramming all the music I can into a song instead of letting it be, so I'm glad at least this one didn't.
[avatar]
Thanks, Nancy! Just posted it. What a fun take on our names. Thank you!

@n24
Thanks Nancy! Really appreciated your vomment on words dig deep :)

Hey Nancy, (a genuine) thank you for listening to '"Thank You So Much For That (Useless) Advice" and I'm SO glad you liked it! I absolutely love to hear that it feels like part of a musical, as that is my ultimate goal. Really appreciate the specific feedback on other aspects of the song as well, thanks!! 😊
[avatar]
I'm so glad you let me know what you enjoyed about "Carl Perkins and the Meaning of Life" -- thank you!
[avatar]
Hey thanks for the comment on Stand Together!
[avatar]
Hi, Nancy - @hummingbear sent me a set of lyrics for another Fancy a Nancy Collaboration...They are raucous and wild, and I was thinking you would definitely do them justice if you're up for it. No pressure, but I'll e-mail them to you just in case.
[avatar]
Thanks for the sweet comments on "New Relationship Energy," Nancy!!!!!!
[avatar]
Hey Nancy, many thanks for having a listen to my demo ‘I can’t stay long’, and that’s a great suggestion to build up the context of the chorus in the 2nd half of verse 1. Makes a lot of sense and I’ll give that a go. 👍
[avatar]
Thanks @nancyrost
Check out Say yes say no and there's more groove for you.
Peace

Nancy, Any chance that you would like to do music for Kool Aid Chalet? It's more of a piano lyric than a guitar one. It's late in FAWM, I know but I thought I would ask/
[avatar]
Thanks for your thoughtful comments on my song, Bad Back.
[avatar]
Hey Nancy, thanks for the nice comment on "Coming up for air". I'll give you a head's up when I get a demo up.
[avatar]
oh yeah sorry, i went awol w: next year! Indeed! happy fawming for now!
[avatar]
Hi Nancy! We have same heart for the valentines look. I write lyrics mostly. Also sing. Looking for #pinkcollab. Have a great FAWM
[avatar]
Hi Nancy!! I’ve been off FAWM a few days so I just saw your “Nancy” collab post on my wall. Wow, how many of us Nancys are here 😆? I’m notoriously technology-inept and not experienced with collabs but I’d be happy to try to join in if you still need a Nancy. 😊 My email is HoppieRN@gmail.com.

@ayais
Hi Nancy - Would you consider re-doing the 'female' track on 'Spouse v Comet'? If you sent me a separate track I'd paste it into the editor in place of my phony version.
[avatar]
Nancy!!! Great to see you! I consider you my fairy godmother of FAWM. Have a great one this year. I'm looking forward to hearing your creations!

Happy FAWM, Nancy! =^.^=

Thanks for checking out "Faith is a Feeling" and I'm happy to hear you found something to connect to in it. : )
[avatar]
I really like what you did with Conversationl. Thank you! Y ou always hit the nail right on the head.
[avatar]
Hello again and I'll be seeing you around.
[avatar]
Thank you for your comment on the Feline Fagin lyrics!
[avatar]
BTW, R L Burnside is my go-to guy, I made myself learn poor black mattie by sheer force of will, so THANK YOU for the comparison, it means a hell of a lot xxx
[avatar]
I’ll see what kind of Nancy lyrics I can channel. Hard to beat Toad the Wet Sprocket. “You take Nancy, for me Loretta’s fine [repeat through most of the song] No, I changed my mind, I’ll take Nancy, for you Loretta’s fine.” I’m so sorry you lost your friend and collaborator.

@arodee
@nancyrost hi!! So very happy to meet you!!

@ayais
Thanks for the intro, Nancy. I'm getting my bearings here . . . about to post a first tune.

@cts
((hugs)).
If it feels like a warm plate of pancakes (or waffles) then I've done my job in this moment. 😀

Hi Nancy! Happy FAWM!!

Hi Nancy!
My FAWM theme this year is “playing music with Eric and Patti”

I found some old demos and lyrics we did that never finished. I think it’s time to dig those out.

I’d love to have you collaborate ❤️
Let’s make some music!!!
[avatar]
Hey Nancy! Always good to see you here. Looking forward to hearing some of your FAWMlings this year!
[avatar]
Hi @nancyrost . I'm a four track tape neighbor of yours swinging by to say Happy FAWM. I look forward to hearing what you add to the challenge.
[avatar]
Thanks. It was taken (candidly) at a friend's wedding. Whatever it was I was plotting at the time, I have assured him that I have long forgotten it.
[avatar]
Always a pleasure to see you here, Nancy. I hope your FAWM is as wonderful as a basket of kittens.
[avatar]
Hi Nancy! I realized that I hadn’t officially said hello to you, so….hello! Any big plans this year? Mine will be much different but that’s probably a good thing, as it could be pushing me down new roads. Anyway, I always appreciate what you bring to FAWM. Cheers!
[avatar]
Happy Fawm Nancy! Looking forward to hearing your tunes!

Hi Nancy! Have a LOVELY FAWM!

Always a pleasure to see you here, Nancy.

I hope we can work together on something this year. I have enjoyed your work throughout my 11 years in FAWM.
[avatar]
Indeed!

@b3nut
Good seeing you on the zooms too! I'm at Red Rooster first Thursday of every month (hosting the blues jam with my fun band The Usual Suspects; I keep a house Hammond rig there), and most other Thursdays I'm up at Brix Cider in Mount Horeb at Open Mic...it's a short walk for me. ;)

@clioem
Happy FAWM Nancy!

@atam94
Happy FAWM! I'm getting nostalgic about my first FAWM ever (2020) and you were the first one (of many) to welcome me. I'm looking forward to listening to your music 😊
[avatar]
Words seem inadequate. Words and music, however...
[avatar]
Happy FAWM, Nancy!!
[avatar]
Hi Nancy! I'm clearly hungry for SONG.
[avatar]
Green and purple are complementary colors.
[avatar]
You're a mod, so of course you're here, but it's such a wonderful thing that you are part of the FAWM experience, so, YAY!
[avatar]
Looking forward to FAWMing with you again this year. Maybe you could collaborate with your kitties?
[avatar]
Good morning, Sis. I hope your winter is going well. How about a Rott and roll song for this Fawm?
[avatar]
Yay! It's FAWM time. I hope you have a fantastic FAWM! (And thank you for all your help and support modding! )
[avatar]
wow, is this (for each/both of us) our 18th fawm?! our fawm-ness is now old enough to vote!
happy feb!
[avatar]
I don't think I've ever written a song in the locrian mode. And I'm not saying for sure that this is the year, but if it is, I'm sure you'll be involved.

Or was Carnival of Souls in locrian? *frantically checks notes* Nope, Lydian dominant. We're good.
[avatar]
Here's the official hello to you!! I hope you have a fantastic FAWM! :)
[avatar]
Theo and Dotty send their regards to Riggs! oh and good to see you as well :-)
