FAWM 2025 #9: Wanderlust
This is one of those ear-greedy bits: I'm putting it down after getting the chords worked out, as there doesn't seem (yet) to be anything lyrical.

FAWM 2025 #6: Weight of Snow
This tune came to me today while I was (what else?) shoveling snow. I think lyrics might accumulate later, but I wanted to get it cleared away before my back stiffens up. ;)
FAWM 2025 #1: So Many Faces
Not gonna get a vocal melody done inside the skirmish hour, so the demo is just the acoustic guitar.
FAWM 2023 #6: River Fog
Instrumental #jazz sketch, inspired by the view of early-morning mist rising from the river across the street.
FAWM 2022 #6: Summoning Spring
This piano piece is another "argumentative" one: it wouldn't let me work on anything else, so I've recorded it in order to get past it.
FAWM 2022 #5: Down the Middle
I thought this was going somewhere else, but it turned into a fiddle tune: who am I to argue?
FAWM 2021 #7: Cardinal's Waltz
Inspired by watching a young pair of cardinals do their mating dance in our snowy driveway.
FAWM 2021 #4: Snow Waltz
A quick instrumental take on footsteps on snow.
FAWM 2020 #14: Janus
Written for the "Finishing Something" prompt, there is a lyric for this creeping around the edges of my brain, but too shy to show itself just yet. Maybe recording this as an instrument and pushing it out will tempt the poor wee thing to come out from the shadows.
FAWM 2018 #9: End of the Line
I've made two different stabs at lyrics for this tune, each less successful than the other. I like the theme for the second one (Skinner box, rat-in-a-maze), so maybe I'll come back to it after FAWM.
