Chip Withrow

Thanks for the comment on Ohio! We were visiting family and thought it would be fun to have the little girls join us. Spelling O-H-I-O was very fun for them. I love that alumni spell it as a greeting!! I'll let Dawn know :-) She'll get a kick out of that!

Hi Chip, thank you for your wonderful comment on On the edge of a cliff. It is always fantastic to collaborate with Wy and Val. So inspiring! Thank you for your nice compliment of my playing :) You are very kind :)

Thanks for your nice comment on my lyric, "Nothing is Better"...yeah, it's a simple, straightforward kind of song. I wanted to post a happy one last for some reason!

hey Chip thanks for the comment....twas great... well done on getting 54 songs done...thats a savage great amount....fair play....you'll be up to 60 before 5090 is over...;;;;

Thanks for your comments on "Better Days" I put the lyrics up. I'm trying to get the last songs posted so I can get to fifty and cutting corners on typing some of the lyrics! http://fiftyninety.fawmers.org/songs/11944

Thank you so much Chip for your lovely comment on my collaboration with Izaak on Snowman. Hope your daughter goes back to playing the violin. It's a beautiful instrument. I have to say I never tried myself. I love Izaak's playing. Isn't it amazing how we can all collaborate via the net!
Congratulations on winning Chip!

Congrats on reaching winner status.

Woot! Congratulations you over-achiever... 51!

Hey Chip, thanks for the comments on "Regarding Kissing" - kiwifruit done real good!

Hiya Chip, sorry its taken me so long but I have now emailed you the audio file for Elizabeth Rose (finally!) Looking forward to hearing some banjo on it! :)

Thanks for your comment on my "If I had a Nickel" song, Chip. Means a lot. That was a tricky thing to put something really sentimental into a song (like the kid starting Kindergarten :) ) and not have it come out sappy, cliché, and melodramatic. Sounds like I put just enough in there for you to 'get it' without going over the top.

And look at you cranking out the tunes! Thirty-Eight! And mostly in the 'BUFF' ! I'll try to post comments on a few more. By some freak of statistics, 'Slippery Dude' comes up on my jukebox quite regularly!

Thank you very much for your kind and interesting comment, Chip! I loved to read it!

Thank you so much Chip for your comment on it's okay to cry. I absolutely love Valerie's vocals and lyrics, she is so fantastic! Isn't it amazing how possible it is to collaborate via the net! Something we couldn't dream of some time ago...

Hi, Chip - by all means, if this song calls out to you, please feel free to add whatever you feel will make it complete. I just haven't had much time all summer to do much with 5090 but there is still time. One of the other folks in the workshop got a great song out of it, too, but much different than mine. I'll have to see if she'll post it because she's a fawmer, too - Amber Hadigan. Whenever I take a creative process workshop with Sloan Wainwright, I get great ideas. Just shoot me a note if you do anything with it. Thanks so much. I hope you're staying safe down there with Irene heading up the coast. We are expecting her on Sunday with 100 mph winds. Maybe we'll get lucky and she'll turn out to sea.

Hey Chip! Thanks for the comment on 'All Right'. I'll admit I had you in mind somewhat as I recorded the banjo part. You're my 5090 reference point for good banjo playing, so I was hoping not to goof up too badly. I tried a bit of clawhammer playing to get that twang I was looking for. Glad you dug the song!

Thanks for the comment on Space Tag.
I didn't see this version before it was put up. It was part of the Random collab instead of the weekly collab.
I put up some proposed lyric changes but Edwin has had a lot going on and hasn't been on much

Thanks for the comment Chip!

Thank you Chip for your nice comment on Enchanted River. Donna created her beautiful lyric which I'm sure will also become a song. Here is her link: http://fiftyninety.fawmers.org/songs/9482

Thanks for giving Pepper Fest a listen. We do LOVE our festival. It's a great time to gather with friends, eat good Italian food (lots of peppers), and dance to some great local bands. For chords I just started with 'A' and went right down the scale. I was trying for something more upbeat so it would have a fun feeling for Fest folk. I'll let you all know if I enter the talent show with it :-) I've appreciated your support this 50/90!

so you inspired a banjo song from me!

Hey Chip! I've been working on the full version of "Rain Tonight" and I think I should be done and ready for your parts tomorrow or Saturday, just a heads up! I've really fallen behind, but you, good sir, keep it up!

Thank you for your very sweet comment on "Tracing". I have a dream of creating Bible School curriculum and maybe some children's CDs in my retirement/post-corporate life, and this 50/90 is my test bed to see if I could do it. Your words were very encouraging!

with regards to "high noon", actually, it wasn't inspired by my novels at all. the lines "and when it comes to push and shove / i'll be the one you're afraid of" popped into my head for some reason, and for some reason i pictured an old western duel scene, and wrote it as such.

and i wish you could remember the band's name--that sounds like something i would listen to. but it does remind me of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w69M0EcSb6o (apologies if that's not quite what you were thinking of.

I rerecorded "Lack of Vision". Man...I wish I could add a bass to my collection :-) but my hubby would look like this :-(
I did try to make the riff a little louder though. Thanks for listening! I've "liked" you on facebook!

Thanks for the comment! I don't know what made you think of vikings (was it the "runes"? :D ) but I appreciate pointing that out. :)
