FAWM 2018 #10: Brambles and Briars
Retro groove, maybe wants horns?
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.
FAWM 2018 #8: Thar She Blows
Skirmish tune
FAWM 2018 #7: Shock and Awwwwww
Prompted by my fawmling complaint about the CSS changes
earlier this week (i.e., Valentine's Day).
I hear the chorus as a 12 bar blues, and the verses over IV-I-II-V.
FAWM 2018 #6: Caucho y Paraguas
"Raincoat and Umbrella"
Groove is built around conga stems from Daniel Sadownick's Converse
Rubber Tracks session:

FAWM 2018 #5: Don't You Wanna
Written around a fingerstyle riff
FAWM 2018 #4: Invisible Means of Support
I originally intended this son to be a straight-ahead minor blues, but the lyric fought with it, turning it into a mixolydian shuffle.
FAWM 2018 #3: Raindrops In My Coffee
3. Raindrops In My Coffee
This is a "rescue" song: I wrote it a while back for guitar, but was
never happy with how I played the tricky fingerstyle arrangement. As a
result, I never recorded or performed it live, so I'm gonna call it
"redshirt FAWM eligible." :)
The arrangement here is minimal (bass, 12-8 drums, piano), without the
repeat-with-solo I originally envisioned.
FAWM 2018 #2: Before the Coffee Kicks In
UPDATE: Transposed to fit my still-limited range. I'm still not in my best voice.
FAWM 2018 #1: Cereal Offender
Quick take on living in a house filled with semi-nocturnal creatures.
