I did this weeks ago & then found it again last night as I was archiving old files. This is one of those one-off improv sessions... I recorded the rhythm guitar in one pass, then one "lead" pass and then one vocal pass, and done. Even the…
At one point, I had a version recorded with much better guitar -- at least I thought I did -- but I can't find it now...
Another one of those tunes that kept growing after the demo was laid down, this song now has twice as many verses as you…

This is a remix of an improvised track I did for our first RPM album. For this new mix, I got rid of the vocals & added a most excellent electric guitar part by our good friend, Chris Mitchell. He listened to the track just once and proceeded…
Naw that aint Africa Thats Ayers rock,Australia. The Bering reef is a bit North. I'd steal this but I dont think I could add any thing useful. Mighty Fine
It was about sunrise when I met this guy on the streets of the French Quarter and bought him coffee. I don't know if he's still around -- that was some 20 years ago -- but a two-hour conversation affected my life more than I would have ever known…

Don’t follow any example, break every rule
After awhile you’ll find it’s so easy to do
Just stay within the limits of your love

A major thing, This began as I sat down to lunch and did some musing about my old wind-up gramophone, as food poisoning set in I spent the rest of the day lying in bed thinking of lyrics, getting up to type them in, throwing up, and going back…
Shades of Floyd, Beatles, Phish, and so much more...
I really dig the guitar lead on this right around 9 minutes... And the keyboard lead at 12min. In fact, drums, guitar, keys, the whole production sounds great. It's quite impressive what you managed to achieve in the face of such overwhelming adversity! Thanks for sharing the story & the music...
Ok, Who HASN'T had the fantasy about the hot librarian?
This was originally intended to be sung by a friend of mine with a much higher range, but a massive earthquake disrupted the schedule. I wound up singing it down an octave, trying to do…
