For the Sake of the Song FAWM 2013 Wrap Up [ 39:52 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (11428)

I finished February Album Writing Month with 20 new songs. You can find them here on my site or I’m @ductapeguy at the FAWM website.

I was not alone.  410 of 2267 registered writers completed 14 or more songs with 1 person writing 125 new songs. All in all, over 9000 songs were written as part of FAWM.  As we approached the finish line, I invited other FAWMERS to send me audio reflections about their own experiences.  Here they are.

Shownotes:

1) Spoken word intro

2) Billy Day by Sean McGaughey @ductapeguy

My great-grandfather, Joe Horrocks, hauled freight with a horse team and wagon around 1915-1925 in Northern Alberta. There is a story passed down through the generations that he once met a man who had a trained team of moose.
I did some googling and found a brief article and picture at the Alberta Archives about Billy Day and his moose-drawn carriage.    I wrote the story of how I imagined he came to have a team of moose.
