Love ur stuff. I hope u get the recognition u deserve. Both these songs u got loaded up are brilliant. But it seems that a lot of tunes here are full of high tech wonder and the brilliance in the complexity of your subject matter and the musical accompaniment with the guitar is exceptional. But I just think that as brilliant as it is and I'm sure there's more then a handful of people that can appreciate because it is so good how could you ignore it's going be buried neath a ever ending strream of musical uploads Maybe I'm wrong u never know if hte right person hears it that has the connections might be able to get it out there. But your songs will live on after your demise if there's anybody or anyway they can be played
My last rpm song - based on the police log in a local paper. The writer must have been feeling poetic - more than half of these are word for word and the rest were slightly changed to fit the rhyming scheme.
My incomparable musicians:
Dobro…
Ditty #9 for the RPMC album "Bones".
I'd had this rolling around in my head for about a year now, and even played it live with the SD&Q trio. Didn't quite turn out as planned, which is not unusual.

Lyrics:
Mini Van
I’m driving my Mini Van around
I’m driving it everywhere in town
I’m driving my Mini Van
Try to catch me if you can
I’m driving my Mini Van around
Seems Like I can always catch the eye…
3 guitar tracks followed by a track with the trap set. A lot of alt tuning lately posted on AT which I like. This guitar was tuned to an open G. After I did it, I thought the sound was more like a backwoods, hillbilly song.
Unfortunately…
One more instrumental before I move on to the vocals...
I came up with this riff one hazy night when I was 19. I'm in my 30s now, and rather more sober, but I still like playing this. It felt good to finally flesh it out.

Sectacular, guitar work supporting an ironic low key vocal. Great one man one guitar sound.
Good song John! You really get some nice sounds out of that guitar! Greg

Very nice piece.
Applying the board of education to the seat of learning.Also a lost practise.
Recording an acoustic piano is quite challenging.
Drivin melody line.
Little ones grow up so fast,don't they?
Nice fiddle break.
Nice slidework
Lovin your mix. Gotta get a bicycle built for two,so I can get people asking about the empty seat. Give em somethin to talk about.
Yasgers farm is probably a subdivision now.
Relevant stuff.
Rocks
The old record effect works really well on this.
Aptly titled. The last song of the night should be a lullaby.
What gifted hands. You are so talented.
Love the wah-wah breakout.
I was twelve before I learned F'n Yankees was two words.
Very Yes-like groove.The ending caught me by surprise.
Great sonic properties.
The harp break was cool.
The echoharp sounds like a concertina. Nice touch.
