A little white house, just off the highway, ghost of a black cat scratchin’ at the door. Old dry well out in the backyard, we just can’t use it anymore. There are some secrets here. Oh, there’s secrets everywhere. I know nothin’ more or less…
Fourteen days till my ship sets sail, fourteen days of nonstop hail, punchin’ holes in everything I see. Fourteen days of howlin’ wind and rain, fourteen days full of doubt and pain, gnawin’ my guts till finally I’m free. I can’t stop, I can…
When the bombing ends and all that's left is sand and bones and charred remains, what will you think then? Will you call it a win? Or will you lay down and die with all the rest? Its not too late to stop, call this death march to a halt. I promise…

A solar flare is the ejaculation of energy from the north pole or the south pole of this super concentrated point which has turned itself into a black hole because it has so much energy that it’s sucking in everything around it at such an exponential…
All guitars by my good friend Chris Mitchell. I had a chance to record this while I was in Dallas this past Summer. This is a companion piece to my song Secrets from the "Of Sound Mind" album, my RPM 2009 entry.
This is a piece in a microtonal tuning - but sounds very much like pentatonic in "normal" 12 equal tuning to my ears. But I work in microtonal tunings all the time and may be biased.
How "in tune" does this sound to you?
I'm digging the peaks & valleys in this one, it really has an epic feel for a four minute piece... I like the ending, but I must admit I half expected you to add "...or did they?" at the last second!
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 is a solid little tune, catchy as can be with several unexpected twists. Would love to be able to read along with all of the lyrics - please post 'em!
Started out be an innocent little jazzy study in quartal harmony, but the DL4 was still in my signal path and things went downhill from there! Another done with my beloved '58 Stratotone
No im not happy and no im not sad, no im not good but i know im not bad. No i wont go there, but no i wont stay, no im not straight but no im not gay, no need to tell me i know im not right, no happy endings and no end in sight. I got no way of…

This is a “cross-over” pattern. Cross-over patterns are a type of enharmonic polymeter, where 2 rhythms with different numbers of beats/measure are played at the same tempo: the measures do not line up each time. These rhythms have measures…

this is based on an improve from back in jan 75, then guitarist - chris layed this riff out and i never forgot it. it was the first time i was in a band as a bassist. the rest of the riffs are mine and everything else disastrous done in this song…
Wow, psychedelic! I dig the stereo vocals, but I'd really like to hear all the vocals panned dead center... very cool track reminiscent of B.O.C. *Rock On!*
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…
Nice piece! I really like the tension the guitar brings in at about 2 minutes... and again at about 3 1/2 min. Also cool how you break it all down at the end.
The first of 4 tunes coming your way with

This one is my favorite and chills me every time I hear it.
It never, ever, gets old.

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for all the nice comments, and thanks again to my friend Paul for giving me such great tunes to work with! It looks like I'll soon have internet & *my very own* computer at home again soon & will be able to get back to listening to all you fine & creative musicians! I have been missing it greatly!!

Woah, someone's got rhythm! Excellent!
There be singing-along in this here kitchen!
Sweet and subtle. Lovely!
Ah man! I want to hear this blend in to the previous track and on to the next! Love the way this album is going!
Ouch! My poor brittle heart! Such tender vox against an almost chiming bed of sweet music. Magical. Welcome back, Cave Street!
If I put aside Wake Up, My Skin, Blue, Nothin' to Lose, Do, and Funeral Chant, this is my favorite Cave Street Tune.
Hey, Mark - you got rhythm. Lovely track, Michael.
I really like this, Michael, vox, clapping, the lot.
Wonderful vocal! w;-)
Really comes alive with earphones.
Dreamlike! Nice warm vocal. I love the family sounds.
I wonder if the next to last song in this album had something to do with this song? hehe. Pretty trippy.
...for these sounds and for listening/commenting- thanks. kss

This one had the wife giggling appropriately as it went on... :-D
I hear bits where it's obviously not the "standard" tuning we've been trained to hear as "right" but this piece is quite beautiful to my ears!

Have I told you lately that I love this little piece of spontaneous composition?
excellent tune! love the subtleties of the arrangement, backing vox, acoustic lead guitar, nicely done!
Diggin it! Poi Dog Pondering meets Bob Dylan then they both get schooled by Alex Moody! :-)

A great vocal and great harp on this oh so timely recording. Thank you my friend for sharing this very important music!
... I'm digging into this space you have carved in time...
Love It!!!

most excellent!
Chris, I love your stuff. It's most elevating, to say the very least. Thank you.
Cheers, Jarvoid!
I dig this riff and the different synth textures. I haven't heard all your stuff yet, but this one is my favorite so far!
nice one!
