This song was born on the 18th of Feb. 2011. It was the last piece I wrote/recorded for the challenge. It was a very sad day for me, almost as if all my usual winter sadness was concentrated and crammed into one day. The process of writing and…
A WildGeas and CaveStreet collaboration
some say once upon a time
there was a line
that was never meant to be crossed
if ever that occurred
you might have heard
an innocence would have to be lost
but having crossed that line
I can…
"I'll know it when I see it"
Is what she finally said
"If there was some other way
I'd do that instead"
And blindly without question
I followed down that trail
That led into the hidden night
Beyond the parted veil

This song…
My first rejected Ramen Music submission.
Too Much
I wrote you a letter but I never sent it
I was afraid you might never get it
or what if you did and I lived to regret it
and it was just too much for me to take
now its four in the morning…
A WildGeas and Cave Street collaboration
You see me and I see you
Is that what's real?
You say bad and I say good
Which one is real?
When you do the things you do
Then how do you feel?
There's a time
There's a season
For change…

The first WildGeas and Cave Street collaboration
There ain't nothin' I could buy
that can ever calm me down
So I leave my money at home
when I go into town
I put on my fightin' hat
an' I wear my dancin' shoes
An' if I miss my ride…
This is a rough mix of a track I did with the one & only Norm Harris. I've got some vocals in mind, but it may take some time to put it together, so meanwhile here's the instrumental version. Big thanks & major props to Norm…

This is the third, maybe forth time I recorded this tune.
I like this one best.

a fine disguise
they came from across the sea
always moving closer
my eyes could see
then they called in the calvary
First just a…
She hangs a little garden
so everyone can fit in her yard
when it's time to take tea
fills it up when they're walking about
they really knew how to twist and shout
and they're always going back that way again

This one rewards repeated listening... (I especially love the instrumental break before the last verse). I'd like to put this tune on our community radio station, if you don't mind. (WUTZ radio, 88.3 in Summertown, TN) ~ Let me know if that's okay.

even hard effort changes the worth
we focus on ourselves, this takes a struggle
so, service on behalf of the world
Without practice, No emergence
we cannot understand, even though we know

A quickly improvised tune with some stream-of-consciousness lyrics. Written/recorded hastily in the dead of night on Tuesday 11/27 with a short overdub session on Thursday 11/29, when I should have been sleeping.
All basic tracks…
Hey, thanks Reg. I'll try to keep it open... I recently moved all my music/recording gear from my cramped bedroom to my son's old room now that he's at university. This was the first 1/2 way decent thing I recorded since I set up in here. I'm gonna try to keep things rolling so I'll be warmed up for RPM 2013! :-) Peace.
Hi folks - Uncle Paul is back at it after a 4 month hiatus from music.
Sometimes I just have to walk away from it. I'm sure most of you know what I'm talking about.
I forced myself through the 2012 RPM Challenge
and quit playing right after…
Excellent, PAL! Now get back in there & send me that tempo track for Blue! :-)
Much love,
~Tennessee Tea
PS - I really like when the drums drop out about 2:30 in....
I like your recent live take on this you posted, I'd really like to see this lyrics posted for this.... This is a great track!
*great harmonica too!*
Peace, Michael
A rough and ready audience recording of my set at open mic night at Queens Park Centre, Aylesbury.
Setlist:
Stand Up But Not To Fall
Revolution
All Was Nothing
Colin, I just tried to post a track by track commentary on this, and it just disappeared. Rather than trying to recreate it, let me just say thanks for posting this live performance. Well done indeed, sir! I hope to hear more of this kind of thing...

Hey Colin! Good on ya! While the sound quality isn't exactly stellar, it's quite good enough to hear the intensity & emotion of the performances. I'm glad you posted this!
Stand: Wow, an oldie to start.. it really starts to hit me about a minute in -- nice performance!
Revolution: Love the intro - excellent performance, a timely resurrection...
All was nothing: Another great composition; I can see why you're still playing it 10 years on, though I hope the hurt has healed!
I love the chord changes & would appreciate being able to read the lyrics for all these tracks!
Thanks again for putting this up, I'd like to hear more live tracks from you & the others on this site.
Cheers,
Michael
A rather flat version of an original instumental jam played live as a four piece in the studio.we played reserved compared to normal renditions. others wanted this on the album, i voted no. we made our 35 minutes. thank god!
We've all met them! Haha. Got a bit of a rocky head on doing this.

With summer in full swing, and festivities nearby, I often think about how others across the globe celebrate their summers.
I hadn't been able to post much lately because I managed a composer contract for a game, and have been helping a local…
this was one of our first takes of the month. still in search of a mix at this point in the month. my personal low point because i forgot my lyric notes and really cut my words short and didnt sing or deliver well. i highly believe in moving on…

I like this a lot! Very spacey & meditative & then that last minute gets intense... Dig the vibra-slap!

Nice tune, bad situation. Good luck stopping this...
