Hi Jerry, So glad you liked Our Own Private Love Song, my collab with @blainev83. This was our first collab together, and it was a total pleasure the whole way. I couldn't ask for a more talented and cooperative partner. I love the song, and it keeps playing in my head.

haha, Jerry! My little girl I sing about is now 16. Thankfully, she gets up earlier than me and I don't have to sing that to her :) I do have to get on her to put her clothes away, close drawers, keep her car vacuumed & clean, etc. etc. Please stay in touch this year. I follow you on IG & Youtube. I'll be around in March to catch up on my listening and comments. I really appreciate all of your encouragement, tips, and smiles :)

So right about titles and reference to a big name. The next most popular song was “Alamo Smiles” because of the Lana Del Rey reference challenge.

Congrats on your 4 years! I remember during Covid you were saying, "I need a woman" - lol! Glad you found a keeper.

Hi, again, Jerry. Just saw your praise on Theodore, my collab with @davidtaro. (How many more Verses would you like me to add?) 😀 I agree with you that David did a marvelous job on the song. I couldn't be more pleased. Thanks for your comments!

Hi, Jerry. Look at all those songs on your page! You've been busy, but not so busy that you couldn't take the time to comment on @gwynjones and my collab, No Present Like The Time. Thank you for listening and appreciating the waltz treatment. I thought Gwyn did an amazing job and I'm glad you enjoyed it and let us know.

Hi Jerry, Thanks for the comments on "Fire in My Eyes" and Wind in the Willows . Not sure I have had two more extreme opposites for songs ! Much appreciated.

And cheers for the comment on "Brutubölen vampyyrilinna"! Although it's raw and kinda silly, I myself like how it turned out quite a lot :) I'll have to give your metal track a listen!

Thank you for the comment on "The Castle of Pain"! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you for your kind words on "Back To The Basics" :)

Thanks for listening to mine and Cindyrella's song "No Begging"!

Yeah, I've written some dark lyrics this year. But the world is dark right now, so it's kind of appropriate, really.

Ah, Jerry, I'm always "Here for You". Thanks for yet another visit and the kindness of your comment.,

No, "Under the Influence" doesn't have a Nashville vibe but inspired by the story told in "Black Roses," which didn't either. Loved the music in "Nashville," much better than what you actually hear coming out of Nashville for decades now. Really fun to rewatch the show!

ive got a song called omaha, its about a convicted murderer on hs way to the death house who is wishing he was back omaha with his mm and dad. check it out, it is live from a christmas party for borders books and music at seattle's infamous crocodile cafe with my band Tokyo Sex Whale https://billwhite.bandcamp.com/track/omaha

As the class clown you should definitely write some comedy! Personally, my witty repartee only happens in songs. 😄

Thanks Jerry!! My entire family had influenza A a few weeks ago, so I started writing more music in a lower register as I lost my voice. It’s fun to experiment!! 😊🎶

Glad you got to hear "On Love", Jerry. One of the great things about FAWM is the great people we can get to work with and experience.

Thanks for your kind words on “pick-a-cide”. I really appreciate you taking the time to listen and comment.

I would suggest they just let it run with minimal moderation like they used to. It worked great back then.

Hey Jerry, I know we're not supposed to discuss this until everyone is gone but there is a convo about possible alternatives here,

https://write.fawm.org/forums/3063

I have no idea how it may end up.

Thanks, Jerry, on 1965. Definitely for those of us "of a certain age", right?

I don't recognize the people in the photo of "Hit Me Up" but he does look familiar, doesn't he? Anyway, you can sign up for the alternative 50/90. Don't know if you saw that (the thread is super long).

Hello @jerrypettit I just posted @marthie's lyrics. Thanks for asking. and thanks for your comments!

"5090 Dormant This Year" thread - https://write.fawm.org/forums/3063

Thank you very much, Jerry!!

Thanks for visiting "It's a Crazy World", Jerry. On this issue, there are lots of batons to go around, so give it a whirl (twirl?) and join the club.

Jerry, you are SO nice to listen and comment on my page. Thanks for your enthusiasm for Almost Feels Like Love, my collab with @musend and @hbusse. Two powerhouses to bring the lyrics to life!

Good morning, Jerry. Honored you would kick of part of your morning with Chicken To Go and That's What I Know. Thanks for that and your comments. FYI, the Beatles' stutter on "Birthday" that Macca mentions on p32 is when they go "I would like you to dance/Take a ch-ch-ch-chance".

Oh, I forgot to write that night sky lullaby is not for waking up situations lol. I hope it didn't sent you back to sleep 😴 Thank you for your listens and comments ✨️🎵🎶

THANK YOU FOR YOUR KIND WORDS REGARDING IMMIGRANTS. IN MY 88 YEARS WE HAVE NEVER BEEN IN A MESS IN THE WHITE HOUSE AS WE HAVE NOW. HOPE I OUTLIVE HIM.

Thanks much, brother Jerry, for the listen and exceedingly kind words about "Cameo". You know well what a pleasure it can be to coax something out of BIAB that can be manipulated to showcase a lyric and a vocal. I really got a kick out of doing that one. I'm still envious of the quality of your vocal recordings and mixes. I know you told me a while back some of what you do--I'm gonna have to scour my archives for a reminder of those tips.

Alex said he was OK with you doing a second version of Winter Valentine, if you are still interested.

Updated with my music on Winter Valentine!

Checking if Metalfoot would mind a second rendition of Winter Velentine, if you’re still interested. Glad you enjoyed it.

I never expected that any song I had a hand in might contribute to someone's Valentine's Day celebration. Thanks for adopting "Love Came Walking In" as your song for the day, Jerry.

Music is coming this morning!

Btw, there is no official 50/90 this year. Some are talking about coming up with an alternative.

Thanks so much for your kind comment on "The Moon Saw Everything" -- I was losing my voice when I recorded it, but I do think that song is one of my best.

Thanks for your kind words, Jerry. Your enthusiasm for my recent work gives me hope that I can continue down this path! 😊

I'm super happy that you enjoyed "Dandelion Wish", Jerry. Cindy's lyrics are always a privilege to work with.

You have to be my most consistent visitor, Jerry and I truly appreciate it. Thanks for adding "Let the Light Return" to your list of listens.

I only saw "True Grit" because Glen Campbell was in it. My friend and I had seen him at the Orange County Fairgrounds - she kissed him - I was too shy. This song was written this season when I saw the "Lana Del Rey" challenge. I'd put it in the "May Not Post" folder, but now I like it.

Hi Jerry! Thank you for stopping by again and thank you kindly for the praise. Regarding the making of the videos: I just set up my phone camera in my small studio room and then mimed on top of the already recorded song. Then edited the multiple takes down to what you see on the video. The huge zooms in the first two were due to an unfortunate error in setting the aspect ratio, that is remedied in the "nowhere land" video. That is about it really. I considered using the takes i filmed of me actually doing the live recording but in the end didn't want my goofy studio headphones in the video.

Thanks, Jerry, for breaking the Zong on "Oh How the Sparrow Flies." It's funny how a song seems like very little and then it grows on you. And I always love Steve's words, they often have a twist and turn that surprise and upset my expectations, change what I was expecting. And good for you for letting FAWM change your life. It did mine as well!
