FAWM 2020 #5: Two-Hearted
Jumped off from the name of a well-loved beer, to crying in it.
FAWM 2020 #4: Husband of Age
This tune is for the "It's a Sign" challenge:
There was a dancehall south of Houston, called Eddie's Country Ballroom.
It had about a half-acre dance floor, but no liquor license (the
county was dry, I think), and sold only setups (for BYOB) and snacks.
It was a family-friendly place, with a sign at the door: "No one under
18 admitted without parent or husband of age."
Instrumental only, for now, as if feels complete-ish that way. I'm
gonna claim the "Folk Tune" challenge for borrowing both Mendelssohn's
and Wagner's wedding tunes.
FAWM 2020 #3: Streets of Memphis
Started this while driving back to Virginia from Texas: the original
line was "Rollin' into Memphis, and my biscuit's gettin' stale."
Somehow it took a different turn from there. :)
2020-02-18: Updated with a new remix: somehow I managed to lose all
the sustain pedal automation in the first version, which meant the wurly
sounded *nothing* like what I intended. Funny not to be able to hear
that until now.
FAWM 2020 #2: Gringo in the Mercado
I shop at my neighborhood Latin market fairly often, and wondered what goes through the employees and other customers minds.
FAWM 2020 #1: Fancy Pickles
Tip of the hat to the various incarnations of the Hokum Boys, and in particular to Bo Chatmon / Carter, "the master of the single entendre."
FAWM 2019 #9: Hand to the Plow
Jumps off from Luke 9:62.
FAWM 2019 #8: Cloths of Heaven
Public domain challenge. Use / set Yeats' "Aedh Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven".
FAWM 2019 #7: Being Orange
Came to me today out of the blue^W orange, somehow.

A little more production than my usual output, but I'm having fun with it.
