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…

This one is pretty much your basic bad day. I mean hectic, frantic, crazy, pull-your-hair-out, everything’s going wrong, Junior puked in class and I crashed the car on the way to get him days. Really bad but survivable. Make yourself the main…

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…

The story behind this one is almost the same as "Swamp Thing," only this one spawned lyrics to boot. Major props to Erika for her fabulous vocal! Jon and I played the leads. I bookended the track and Jon did everything in between.

Is it surf music? Exotica? Both? Neither? Did Jacques Cousteau have anything to do with this? Percussion on this one by Cyclops Cow and Sum Gai.

Conceived in the shower in mid February with the backing track fully recorded less than an hour later. Who doesn't like the Ramones?! Just a fun track to celebrate RPM's 15th anniversary. The lyrics lean toward being tongue-in-cheek. I don't hole…

I wrote the backing track a couple years ago after watching the documentary "It Might Get Loud." It somehow evolved into a li'l tribute to Bob Dylan (Bob really deserves so much better). The words allude to a number of Dylan's songs: "Like a Rolling…

I love surf music complete with Fender guitars dripping in lots of spring reverb. This one came out of the clear blue and somehow developed the double-naught spy thing in the process. Matt plays lead. He's got the surf thing down pat!

A simple little ballad. I wrote it thinking of meaningful relationships gone south. The guitar is a Les Paul Studio through a Boss AC-3 Acoustic Simulator and Electro-Harmonix Grand Canyon delay.

A tune of reminiscing. Jon on lead guitar.
