BIO:

I retired from working in a trio that we and others often referred to as Trickett, Bok and Muir. We were good friends who really enjoyed the 27 years we spent together working on our arrangements, touring and recording giving concerts of Folk Music at colleges and folk clubs around the country. I worked with Gordon Bok before that and our work together covered 40 years. I loved the many different instruments we could pick from to create the sound we wanted. We recorded 10 0r twelve albums, most of the songs I never hear sung by others. I have been teaching myself to record and find I now enjoy writing lyrics and creating melodies.

Hi Annie,
in case this is a quicker way to reach you and stop you worrying.
Tina's song is NOT due today. It's due by 16 OCTOBER, latest.
I sent you a private message at the forum and left a note on the challenge page to the same effect.

Good job on "Lovers" Annie
I kinda' messed up transferring the comments but that's not the first thing I ever messed up :)
Anyway they're all there, they just don't show. apparently, I should've transferred them one at a time. Oh well

Hi Annie, thank you for the lovely comments on "danny and jeannie" some of the songs I do can only be expressed in my own accent, I'm so glad you liked it.

Gosh, looks like I'm 3 days behind! That's a day and a half more than usual!. I didn't see your comment, comment, comment till this morning :) After I get a bunch of songs up , I sometimes don't notice that one has another comment. I generally check my soundboard 2 or 3 times a day so I'd notice it there sooner

OK---To keep my one track mind tracking--The below refers to Never Been Lovers----
By all means, get after it! If you have something to send me, send away.
You may have already left France though. You're probably not in transit but a hurricane or the remains of it is coming in on out east coast and the New York airports are shutting down today for probably a day
Lemme see--Skype--Actually, I have Skype but never have learned to use it very well. but if we make connaction you can probably walk me through it.
I think I need more coffee

Wyatt,
I may give it whirl but if it doesn't come together right away I'd rather some other person takes a crack at it. What say you. I'll let you know straight away how I am getting on should you wish that I leap upon it with my uke. (I put it this way because I have just finished doing two other songs and one took a week and a half longer then I expected and I am flying to the states in a bit. But really it's your great lyrics that has me so interested. Well done!
Annie

Hi Annie, Put you in as a collaborator on the song so just post it whenever you are ready. I'm going to be on travel much of next week so wanted to make sure you could post when you are ready. Feel free to modify the lyrics however you want/need. I don't mind, though some do so thought I'd better mention it :)

Had to smile at your "seat of the pants" music writing style, I pretty much do the same thing, though I really need to learn more chords so I don't repeat as much, lol.
Thanks for the collaboration, looking forward to listening when you are ready.
Billy

Yes, I started writing songs early in my life, but didn't do my first "public" peformance in a coffee shop filled with other FAWMers until a couple years ago when I was in my mid 50's. I still don't do much of it, but I do plan on putting out a CD this year just because :)
Thanks for the comment and also thank you for taking a swing at failure at 50. Very much looking forward to it :)

Ya' know Annie, you're right about "strange". It seems like they keep tying to squeeze everybody into the same mold--We don't all FIT!! And why should we!! It'd be dull and drab!
Anyway--That required that I write a "strange" lyric--Or I should say I STARTED a strange lyric--If I get stuck though, you being strange too, I may hafta' holler for help! :)

Comment by rhymetime
Wyatt, it would be my great pleasure to be called upon to give assistance to you, my friend.Annie

Hi Annie
On Space Tag, I didn't see this version before it was put up--it was for the #2 Random collab not the weekly collab as labeled.
I put up the lyric with proposed changes at the top and as sung below it. Edwin hasn't been on line much.
Thanks for the comment

""""""""aw...Wyatt, don't take away all you said about me, Strange is unusual, different and unknown, wouldn't you like to be called like that? Hummm? sounds interesting, right?""

Awright Annie, I take back what I took back :)

Wyatt, I am enchanted to be called "STRANGE" twice. You are the first to see me correctly..

LOL Annie

I wish I had a pennyfarthing (that particular style of bicycle). I'd love to take it on the bike trails here just for the stares I'd get riding it. And I have always, since I was just a wee lad, wanted to learn to ride a unicycle. Your balance must be amazing. I'm so graceless I don't know if I could ever manage it, but it sure would be fun trying. :)

Annie, it was great and it is real! A little snapshot of a time and place!

Hi Annie, check your email.

Hi gerry, I am too blown away , surprised and happy to reply with words. I am in the middle of rebuilding chords on my small ha

Hi Annie, couldn't resist it, apologies for the poor spelling! I am based in the lovely city of Edinburgh, a Glaswegian by birth but I have now lived in Edinburgh for some 30 years.

Thank you for the kind comments on "i have my ways" don't know if you are a Goon's fan (a UK radio comedy show from the 50's I think) ,the key lyric that drives

the song "I have it on a piece of paper" comes from one of their scripts a wonderfull piece of writing. I have posted a link, you may enjoy the humour.

Hi Annie,

Now that would be a treat
To work with one so sweet
Maybe we could write a song
That they might sing along
To the arpegios you play
What do you say, Annie?

We could use the board
Correspond should time afford
To us this little luxury
Of daydreaming of songs
With you Annie
What do you say Annie?

Perhaps it's already written
With your verse it may begin
Then carried to next post
To await your riposte
What do you think, Annie
Shall we daydream of songs, Annie?

Hi Annie, thank you for taking the time to listen to "rose marie" very occaisionally a song pops up that you quiet like yourself and this is one of them for me.

"The Stink" is now alive with the sound of music, Annie! ;)

Thanks for the encouraging feedback for Summer Song, Annie! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. :)
