Totally unique sound you've developed with these BL tracks. Great stuff! I have to wonder though how this went over at a place called "super happy funland". With that name I figured you'd have to dress in a clown suit and play the beer barrel polka!
Thanks man! Your stuff is so intense...only way I can describe it...it's real and true to you. A very unique approach your guitar and the music that you generate. I reminds me a lot of something my father told me, he said he never "wrote" a song...well never sat and wrote it out...he would be sitting there or sleeping and it like a radio station turned on...tuned him into a certain channel and he would just write..I get the same thing...and something about your music tells me you do to. Thanks for the listens and comments...I am a fan ;)
You're right SS, I thought of whales too, may have to retitle it now! @Joe: I think it's C6 tuning, which is standard ps tuning, I could be wrong. As some of you know my BL stuff is heavily inspired by Susan Alcorn, and esp. this piece. Look her up on YT and elsewhere, she's incredible.

The lyrics are about being afraid…
I recently discovered three songs we had recorded in 1993 or 1994 shortly before breaking up. These tracks are the only ones (that I know of) that have our new player, the only personnel change we had in over 10 years.
The title is obviously…
After not having played for a while I was inspired by a Steve Tibbetts sound and tried to recreate it and failed. This came out. The title was indeed misinterpreted words not intended and not really about this piece of music but in a sense was.
With JS Tolar, as band Visions Of Nell.
My tribute to Anne Boleyn, the first queen to be publicly executed in England. I used some of the poetry she wrote during her imprisonment in the chorus. An innocent, incomparable woman.
With music written and performed by Soundsmith Kamachi.
It was the last day of RPM and he asked me to write a lullaby for a track called Cornucopia. Very much enjoyed how easily this one flowed. That's my mum, Bee Mathis, adding class to the…
Most of the lyrics written in 1999, a tough year. Many thanks to JB for his awesome screaming lead playing (done first take, I should add!!!) and to LadyJane for supplying some oooo's. (anyone needing some vocals - send her your song!)
Decided to upload a work in progress from a heavy side project called : Lab Survivor.
I have a few things in the works coming up, hopefully including an all acoustic RPM. Finally have the studio up and running with some new upgrades :) Wahoo…
Stevie Ray is the reason why I picked up my guitar in the first place. I did my best to mimic him throughout my short 8 months of guitar playing, then I realized I was going nowhere. So instead, I sought to develop a style which would make Stevie…

heheh that's funny Kirk! All 6 people in the audience seemed to enjoy it! :-) The clown suit might help...

Me too. Great little solo!
A mysterious soundtrack!
Intense!
That's a rockin blast from the past!
Got it Jim. Nice closing piece.
Yay, Jim! That looping/layering really works, approaching Tibbettsism.
Cool. I could happily listen to Bee recite the Cornwall phone book.
tangerine dreamy
Thanks kirklynch, mainly just some tape delay that creeps in about the 2 min. mark.
Nice. I would have put a bit more reverb on the vocal, but minor. Very nice,yall.
