2025 - I'm Phil (He/Him) Hello my lovely songwriter friends! I am an even older, but animated, #retired multi-instrumentalist from the SF Bay Area. I'm here to let my freak flag fly once again! I injured my left hand a month ago and I'm having difficulties forming chords. This is a challenge! I play harmonica (on your tune as well!) and I can build tunes with midi files. I will at least post lyrics, so please consider a collab. It's good to be back in the company of you good people!

Congrats on the win, my man! What a great run we've had, right? I don't think we've covered more than 2 songs in all of the time I've been in FAWMland. It was great. Here's hoping we can do more next year. I'll be tending to my mom, but if you have any ideas or might a gun for hire (well, maybe to borrow) perhaps a few demo can come about during the summer months. Just drop a line, my good man. I'll be around. Thanks again for working with me. Always a pleasure!

Phil! Did you change your username? I didn't recognize the @phylo tag. Anyway, thanks for the props on 'laramaghan'—those ambient tracks were loads of fun to muck with.

Hi @phylo I've emailed song - just letting you know in case it ends up in your bin. :-)

@phylo thanks for the comment on VICIOUS & DARK CIRCLES. Started as a joke and it was a 10 minute write, but I thinks it's a keeper. I will complete DEVIL AT MY DOORS but life has a way chewing up time...

Phil, thank you for your kind words on Thinking of you. Glad you checked out Pianoscaper. The developer Rob Jackson has a few other similar apps. I looked for an explainer video on YouTube and didn’t come across the right one, but there a few. The controls are similar to his first app, Moodscaper and you may have more luck searching for those.

Hey Chief - let's catch up soon via some kind of chat. I would like to collaborate with you on a tune with Sr Coop. I was out of town for the good portion of the day. I received an email regarding some lyrics. You've pretty much affirmed an idea I had while driving back home and thinking about the lyrics. Let me know what's a good time to hook up.

I appreciate your comment on my song 'For Janey'. I hope to add guitar soon.

Thanks for your kind words, Phil. Great headshot for your icon btw!

I posted a collab. Thought I'd better check to see if you were cool with a new posting or wanted to add the demo to the original post so I locked it. Let me know if you can't see it or have a preference.

Alright. Let's get this show on the road!! :)

Yikes! Very sorry to read about your injury, Phil. But I’m glad you’re here. I’m glad your harp n’ lyrics are available. Let’s make some jelly!

Terrible about the hand, I know for us guitarists the dexterity in those fret fingers are our pride and joy. I love to collab, so maybe we can get your harmonica stylings on one of my random things about to happen? uh.... #collab is a constant

Thank you, Phil. Have a good one yourself. And I hope your hand heals quickly! 😊
