A wonderful throwback to the instrumental past -- you two are too talented. Again, if these are demos, well.....looking forward to hearing the full album!!!
This is really a true story.
No, really...
And our holiday gift to you & your friends. (Feel free to download it and share it with anyone who you think might enjoy it.)
Oh... by the way... acl is finally waking from a very deep slumber…

El Matador
I was born into a fire
Only days alive and swallowed whole
Tight in the grip of man
Cold and calloused hand
Side-step the blow
Joy is dissolution
Joy is dissolution…
The title track for this year's RPM album. One mic. Live take. Please forgive the missed notes.
LETTERS
Writing while I drive with voices in my mind
Passed along by friends I’ve never met
Trying to stay alive in one place in time…
A few months back, Jim (MTC) posted an outstanding acoustic track which summoned up a clear-as-day memory from my childhood. The vividness of that memory resulted in this song... Amazing how such significant events in your life (like recognizing…
Another "oldie but goodie" that had never really gotten the love it deserved... The original version came in at over six minutes (and even I recognize in looking back that it was WAY too long).
Written for a friend from days long past working in special needs summer camps... Now she's raising an autistic son, and doing an amazing job of it.
Still, none of it's fair.
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.
My contribution to this year's RPM Kitchen Challenge.
Very silly.
Well, can’t you see the baby’s crawling
And pulling up all by herself
I can’t imagine what will be falling
When she climbs up on the shelf
See how much she likes to…
The third of three tracks in this year's "Winter Sketches" EP. As preparation for my concept for this year's RPM Challenge, ALL SOUNDS were produced on an iPhone. This track was recorded in a single pass using the Beatwave app.
This is a live cut from an NPR radio broadcast back in 1988 while my Irish Trad group Scartaglen was on one of its first east coast tours. Found recently on a cassette tape. Musically this was one of my favorite periods in the history of the band…
Just a rough version of a song I plan to record properly during this coming February's RPM Challenge.
EDUCATION REALITY CHECK
I work with children every morning
Check their progress every night
I'm an expert with technology
And interactive…
There I go again, thinking
You might have something to say
Some sympathy for me?
I’ve worn out my welcome tonight
And it’s freezing on this desert trip
I’ve been screaming at the slightest things
And Robert Blake smiles
On the tv by…

a song of airiness and quietude, the last 30 seconds or so seem to be either drawn out or very quiet or lost?
