The second comment video from FAWM 2026 is for “Tequila, Take Me Home,” one of my favorite songs. Love it when somebody “gets” what I’m trying to say here.

Ten or Ten Thousand #artists #musicians #writers
Actor, musician, author Jonathan Jackson said in his book, The Mystery of Art, that if your audience is 10 or 10,000, perform like it’s 10,000.
Still, in my latest video on YouTube, I’m still waiting for 10 views. But, yeah, I get the idea behind it. No matter how small your audience, give it your all. Something we need to be reminded me of when it feels like nobody is watching, listening, reading.
Because, as much as I’d love to grow my audience, in the end, I do it for myself. I need my music and books. I need to create. I need to express myself through these avenues. And if others enjoy what I do, that’s awesome!
Thank you!
“One” FAWM 2026 Community Comments
It’s time for the post FAWM comment videos for 2026. I’m starting with “One,” a play on the song made famous by Three Dog Night. This is one of my favorites for 2026 and now the FAWM community has spoken. I hope you enjoy!

Hollywoodland Supper Club on Legend of the Seas
Last December we had one of the best cruises ever, if not the best cruise. And, ironically, it was on Royal Caribbean, a line we didn’t think was for us. But once we saw videos of the “Lincoln Park” Supper Club on Star of the Seas, well, we had to book it. And what a night! It had everything – atmosphere, food, cocktails, and Jazz all paired to work with one another. Formal attire required.
The first Icon class, Icon of the Seas, had a New York theme for the Empire Supper Club and the theme for Lincoln Park on Star of the Seas was Chicago. So when we heard that Royal’s latest ship, Legend of the Seas, due to sail in early July, had a Hollywood theme, well, we had to book it for this December.
Not only does Legend have the supper club, but the railway dinner show that premiered on Utopia (yes, we did a quick cruise on that to test the waters before booking Star), with an old West theme, well, for the first time on an Icon class, Legend will have a Silk Routes themed train show featuring foods/flavors from the countries on Marco Polo’s famed route. We cannot wait for that, too!
In the meantime, here’s a short video I put together from the Lincoln Park Supper Club on Star of the Seas.
“Night Moon” (FAWM 2026) Album Release on Bandcamp
My concept album, “Night Moon,” part of FAWM (February Album Writing Month) 2026, based on a novel I started writing during Nov/Nov in 2025 is now available on Bandcamp. Now that the album is finished, I need to finish the novel.
“When I Chose Him”
Song #9 is “When I Chose Him.” This is one of those situations when a couple can’t seem to be single at the same time. Perhaps that’s the backstory of our protagonist in “Night Moon.”
“Slip of the Tongue”
So I managed to slip in song #7 from FAWM 2026, “Slip of the Tongue.”
