FOOLISHNESS


My Tunes

Psalm 57:7 My heart, O God, is steadfast, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and make music.

Robert, nice job on this song. To my ears, a cool blend of country and gospel. I enjoyed it very much. You're off to a great start!

Robert:

That one is certainly a keeper, very nice, well-rounded and tuneful song. And the first out of the gate for FAWM. Should be a good month for you.

I did 14 tunes for FAWM last year for the first time, but haven't yet decided whether to tackle it or not this year -- your tune gives me a boost. I found myself adding harmonies right away.

By the way, you might want to add your FAWM homepage address to the PG postings, so folks can see the whole album as it unfolds. (Just be careful not to use the "com" extender, because that one takes you to a nasty porn page.... use "org.")

Best,

Robert,

Really nice! I am looking forward to hearing all this month brings out of you. I won't be doing the 14 songs this year. I am busy doing a lot of ministry stuff this month. But I will still be writing every chance I get.

Blessings to you!

Steve

My 2nd song for FAWM is done. I thought instead of starting a new post each day, that will cause everyones songs to be bumped faster, that I would just post to this message each time I complete a new song and post it. My song for Febuary 2nd is done and it is called Hold on. I hope that you will give it a listen. It is on my MySpace page and the only songs available right now are the songs that I am doing for the contest, so of course there are only 2 so far. Here is the link to the site.

song # 5 is done it is a challenge song. The challenge was to write about nothing. Here is my take.

Song # six is up it is called God is Faithful and True. It is 6:31 long. Grab a sandwich and sit down in front of the computer and stay awhile, ha, ha. If you have time give it a listen. The vocal is rough, I will try to put a better vocal on tomorrow. Can't promise anything though. Here is a link to it.

Here is song 13. One more to go. The hardest thing has been to sing them after I write them. I can't imagine how professional singers, who perform night in and night out do it.

Here is song #14 in the FAWM Songwriting Challenge. I did it! Here is the link to the last one. I hope you will give it a listen. While you are there give a listen to all 14 if you have time. A couple I need to re-sing, my voice went south on me for a couple of days.
