Hey friends, it's been awhile! I just got back from Alpharetta, where I managed to get a few short hours hanging with my good friend Treefrog. We recorded a whole bunch of weird noises & then decided to do at least one "real" song. This is…
I have touched and I have known
the memories of stone
And echoes of the oceans
are etched upon my bones
My body's of the earth
and my spirit's of the sky
My mind is of the matter
these memories will never die
So let's go down below…
This is my submission for Akron/Family's "Woody Guthrie's America" Project.

Goodbye Blue Monday

Goodbye blue Monday
There's nothing else to say
We always knew
we would part this way
Time comes to say goodbye
To pause perhaps and wonder why
Why we always had to be
So blue, so blue
I can see that life…
(RPM 2011) For obvious reasons, many RPM albums make use of improvisational sound collages. ;-) This is the first of three that divide the record into sections. You may or may not hear the connections in the lyrics, but it actually does make…

Sloane did me a favor & played an electric guitar part on this one. I had hoped to work with her more on this project, but she wound up leaving town to help take care for a recovering family member.

Come Tomorrow

I'm like a tumbleweed, got no roots
I'm like a climbing vine, leaves and chutes
Come tomorrow, I might not be around
Come tomorrow
I'm a reflection, you see me in your mirror
A missed connection, so far and yet right here…

As far as I recall, that was simply a stock rhythm track from an old Alesis drum machine. I was applying some effects in real time during the mix, bringing the level up & down which gives it that cool swirly dynamic...
Thanks for listening!

@rinyville - Thanks for the response! I tend to want to bury my vocals in the mix... I resisted the urge this time, but when I listen back, it just seems too loud. I am really curious if anyone agrees that it could stand to be brought down just a touch?

To all who commented, thanks for listening! I do think the vocal is *just a bit* too loud... anyone agree with that assessment?
@Mr Sandbags - I did actually smoke Marlboros once upon a time, but that was over twenty years ago! No more tobacco for me!
dedicated to our "cold hearted orb that rules the night",, bassoon and french horn exchange glances with one another, cross a web of strings with a little timpani,in for the flavor,,, i have been trying to figure a bassoon into my work, so here…
Title Track - RPM 2013
we all clap our hands to the beat as the beat goes by
jazz & poetry in the fifties almost died
Rock n roll became the goal as people slicked back there hair
Rock, Rock and roll , the parent were in despair
Elvis was…

don’t be scared
don’t run away
don’t hide behind the trees
get out in that open space
cause i’m right behind you
i always be by your side
by your side
don’t let life weigh you down
don’t let people mess you around…

The Man
There he stands, shaking hands
smiling wide with his joker smile
promises spew out of his mouth
do you believe
all he wants to do is steal the breath that feeds your child
he don’t care
he don’t give a dam
he’s…

Close Your Eyes
close your eyes , close your eyes maybe you will see
close your eyes ,maybe it will take you back to that place and all the good times that we had when we were skipping stones,can you remember, remember that…
First side closer by Kent Good.
This song was recorded our first session of the month. We were playing as a five piece and i really love the sound. This is one of KGs best song to date.
I rarely play music with other people, firstly because I lack the technical skill to follow another's lead. I can do little more than improvise. Secondly, the sort of music I aspire to make is rarely the music other folks would be interested in…

Anything for You
Some rise early, some rise late
Some're up til morning light, some go to bed at eight
I'll be there baby whenever you tell me to
I guess you know by now, I'll do anything for you
Some like to rock, some…
I wrote these words for a different WildGeas track some time ago -- probably at least a couple years ago by now. As is so often the case, I was too slow in producing and someone else had already taken the track and run with it. Well, these lyrics were just sitting unused in a pile of other less finished scraps that I happened to be digging through recently when I remembered Paul's request for lyrics for this year's RPM. I'm so glad they finally got used! You guys took them out of the context they were written for and put a nice new spin on 'em. You two make a really great team and I must say I'm proud to have been allowed to contribute a small part. Lord knows you don't need another lyricist when you've got REG on the job!! :-)

This is a piece written for the Linux Musicians Uncompetition (http://www.linuxmusicians.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=10331).
The purpose of such un-competition is making some music with Linux tools, and then share it.
The premise for this…
Woah! Dig that intense shift a minute and a half or so into this when that *kick ass* guitar kicks in... wicked. And the bonus ending too... so what is your native language?
Too early? Too late? It's only a laugh :)
I am a Beatles and Lennon obsessive (had to explain that because some people thought you wouldn't get it otherwise)
Anyhoo hope you enjoy my last upload as a 47 year old...:(
As requested, the lyrics…

wow Johnny, somewhere around two minutes in, this just comes together beautifully. Just gorgeous! I can imagine a harpsichord voice working well with this one.
Comments on Cave Street's stuff
Sounds really cool the way it is mate. Great to here you back mate. Great track top vocals.
"thoughts have their consequences"... scary but true! stimulating poetry with groovy, beautiful sounds...
Love the diversity of your sounds!
martian blues... we've all been there... Nice track!
ooooo :3 this one is nothing but wicked :3
Sick :D I love it <3 keep it up!
how did I miss this one, love that rhythm, synthy feedback possibly ocean harp sound and the softly subliminal vocals.
Cool, thanks.
Cool and atmospheric. :)
Stunning and what a voice. Great.
Nice one mate. Very cool

Still Love it excellent vocal
nice smooth track - love the chilled vibe. Its all about the Neolithic Revolution!
Holy crap...I emailed you back, totally blew me away! I freakin love it. Can't even explain how well your voice fit with that riff. Wow...

love it
No, I don't think the vocal is too loud. Great song. Loved the whispering part too!
Nice one Michael top vocals mate very cool indeed.

Comments made by Cave Street
This record is off to a great start! What kind of guitar are you playing the lead acoustic part with, Greg?
beautiful work here, Richard!
that's quite a recap tucked into this four minute nugget! But the best part is the message at the end...
this one could go on... a beautyful little mood piece
This is a really good one too... great guitar & keys. Another great collab! /faved/
Wicked guitar right off the bat! So far this is my favorite Reg/Geas track...
Woah, Reg channeling Roger Waters on this one, eh?
NIce song, fellas.... I especially liked that guitar break in the first half - that was tight. Cool coda too.
this is quite nice! we're looking forward to hearing more of your improvisations.

Very nice work, gents! Very nice indeed.

Excellent track, gotta check out the rest of this collab!
Thanks for the lyrics! And here's to 48! Cheers! - Tennessee
alonetone needs a rewind button for songs like this! it would be swell if you'd post the words... very clever song!
I'd like to put a couple of these pieces on WUTZ radio 88.3 Fm here in Summertown, TN. Let me know if that's cool with you, Johnny...
I like the contrasting voices on this one -- some of the effects/voices on this album are very psychedelic!
/Dramatic!/ Johnny, this is good stuff; its really great to hear your playing! Still hoping for another collab some day. :-)
wow Johnny, somewhere around two minutes in, this just comes together beautifully. Just gorgeous! I can imagine a harpsichord voice working well with this one.
well played, sir. really liking the key voices on these pieces!
