This song's going on 32 years old...
Some 12 years older than I was when I wrote it!!

Well, I'm almost on a roll now - this little love song was written, arranged, and recorded in just a week. I've been meaning to attempt something like this for years, just never got round to it.

I wasn't going to post this - it's the original demo that the finished version is based on. This is the same lead vocal and resonator part that's on the full version - no EQ or anything, just the naked tracks. There's two bars of silence before…
I stopped by for another listen this morning. I've seen a few tributes to Gene. It's nice to see that.
It's been a little quiet around here since he's been gone.
Here's a new one. Well, a new old one, actually... And a bit different than the last one!
Something old, something new, something borrowed, and, er, something blue...

I like the sound of your voice. You can be gentle or hectic. Both are good. Wish you all the best my friend. I have written your name in my book and will listen to more Helen. X

I'm a teacher, a parent of elementary school children, a mental health advocate, and a pacifist. It's been a rough week... But there's still time.
TIME
Time to look in the mirror
Time to say what we believe
Is this the world we want…
Dawn awaits – SKEEN 121013
The beating, of her heart up next to mine,
So sweetly keeping time
Stirring, from her slumber through the night
Slowly opens….her eyes shine brighter than the mooonlight through the trees

I SHAKE by James Michael Taylor
Ever since that night when you told me you were leaving me I shake, just a little, I shake.
Not so much that anybody else would even notice
I shake, Just a little, I shake.
Every time I read a book and…
Orchestral Drum
I remember carving
Our names in to a tree
Slipping out the window
To hang out in the street
And wrestling in the driveway
With the stones stuck in our skin
I remember thinking we'd grow old
Our friendship would never…

This is an instrumental written in 2010, published in march of 2012. A fun little ditty with a nice grovve. The You Tube video is old footage of Blue Movie. It is also titled as NO ALIBI, which has been changed to AMEN ALIBI due to availability…
A little work in progress here : written with a friend as a female/male duet.
Ill cut off my hair
And trim down my nails
Set out to sea
Then let down my sails
Mistake me for a man
You wouldn't be the first
You can't have my best

Re-recorded an old one. I suppose it's my nod to all those black & white films I've seen on America from the '20s, '30s and '40s. And of course, old Johnny Cash films,like 'Walk the Line'
This was the very first Eugene Hammond track; indeed, the track that inspired me to start this up as a separate and distinct project from everything else in the first place. I revisited this track last month, rebuilding it from the ground up…
[this is the first recording I have made of this new song - on my iPhone - just as the words were taking share. Hope to recorded a more robust version for the next RPM. Enjoy folks!]
It's getting late
Oh, but not too late
To fall in love
To loose…

Comments on Andrew Russe's stuff
This is very popie/r&B. Sounds like a fun one to sing. I might have posted LAYLA back when i first recorded it. Can't remember
Nice vocals! Somewhere between Van Halen and Sammy Hagar.
Good story behind the song! 32 years? It's as smooth as vintage wine.
Great track A, could easily hear it on a 'Family' L.P. in the '70s......
Beautiful track mate
Another AR touch of class Bravo!
Great voice, great song!
I stopped by for another listen this morning. I've seen a few tributes to Gene. It's nice to see that. It's been a little quiet around here since he's been gone.
I've liked just about every tune that I've heard of yours. Keep it up.
Wonderful song, impeccable vocal. most impressive Andrew.
Superb, Andrew!
Good voice, nice lyrics
I will miss his very specific and kind comments.
There's a whole bunch of talent here. x
Very touching tribute.

monto bueno byrawaymaman.
Okay....yes I just read that you had resurrected "Lucy" from snuggly guitar case. Nice:)
Rockin tune. Yes, I agree..has a ZZ vibe for sure. Sounds like a Les Paul standard????
I dig this arrangement as well. :) I like the demo's intimate feel.
Comments made by Andrew Russe
Where's the guitars? lol Much to my surprise... I really like this!!
That's a wonderful track.
Aw, this is fabulous.
Yes!
Yep, I find myself wanting more of this one
A very cool recording.
Wow... this one hasn't had much love - sounds fantastic
Yep, love this one...
Oh yeah, cool sounds.
Cool sounds. I was quite looking forward to it all ending... I wouldn't have heard this little masterpiece if it had though!
Digging the harp on this one. And some fine picking as well :)
This is the biz... Love those guitars, and a gorgeous song to go with them.
Magnificent stuff. Wonderful stuff.
Oh gorgeous... Fabulous listening.
Love it.
Nice relaxed vibe.
Yep, that rocks along nicely :)
Woof! nearly skipped this one (what with 12 minutes written on it). SO glad I didn't. Loved how it built and then took me off places.
Nice one. Looking forward to hearing the more robust version.
Like it. Love the jangly acoustics.
