A track over twenty years in the making. I came up with it sitting in front of the TV with an unplugged borrowed Rickenbacker 360 (thanks, Mark). The Santana vibe just happened. I made a four track cassette recording of it just to get it down…
Swamp Thing is a custom built guitar by Tony Louscher at Luthier's Workshop in Green Bay, WI. I wrote the main riff three years ago and it sounded "swampy" to me. For the 2020 RPM Challenge, I dusted off the little riff and created this tune…
When I made my demo of this song, Nancy said she really liked the melody of the chorus and that overall it was her favorite tune of mine to date, hence the title.
I thought the first section of the song would be ideal for a sitar, however I…

I can actually hear kids singing this.
Super cool!!
The sparseness and the lyrics work terrifically to set the mood. Nice job.

Loose, messy, weird, and fun. You nailed it! One of the funnest tracks I've heard in a long time. Well done!
As a co-RPMer, I think this is a fantastic song of celebration to commemorate RPM's 15th year. Love it!
Love the Garth Hudson sounding instrumental! I could hear The Band doing this.
Great atmospherics! Well done!
