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.”
“Jazz Night at the Night Moon”
This continuing story (“Night Moon”) was starting to depress me so I needed to have some fun with it. This is song #8 for FAWM 2026. Looks like I forgot song #7. I’ll have to slip that in.
The photo is from the Lincoln Park Supper Club onboard our sailing of Star of the Seas, with a Chicago 1930s Jazz theme of food, cocktails, and music.
“Tequila, Take Me Home” (Remix)
Song #6 is “Tequila, Take Me Home.” I wrote a song with this same title during my first FAWM (2018) but felt compelled to rewrite it, which may or may not be part of the concept album. The main character in “Night Moon” feels like I do in Florida – homesick. Is that why she sleepwalks? Or is there more to it than that?
