This is my first 50/90, so I hope I'm up to the task. I haven't even done 50 songs altogether for the several FAWM's I've participated in. We shall see.

For FAWM 2023 I returned to Bible stories for inspiration. Recently, we did a daily devotion for Advent/Christmas, which includes the post-Christmas story about Jesus’ family flee to Egypt and the events surrounding their departure. I completed 14 sets of lyrics (some with music) but not all of them were theme related.

I wrote about 50 songs in the years 1971-1976, then nothing until 2001, and in the years since 2001 until 2014, had written only three or four songs. However, I did rework and write an entire #rockopera in 2001. I've been busier in the last few years, so my total song credits are now closing in on 200.

I completed FAWM in 2014, 2022 and 2023. 2022 resulted in 12 additional rock opera songs. Some 2023 songs might be a mini-rock opera.

You can explore many of my songs over the years in my lyrics database : http://rocemabra.com/lyrics.

I'm happy to represent the #Sacramento area!

Thanks for your comments on Banana Republic. It's depressing, isn't it?
