I read recently that the term "gaslighting" was the number one search in Merriam Webster's Dictionary this year. So this song is dedicated to all of us who have stood up to that over the years... especially my very besties... you know who you…

Sometimes writing a song is the very best and only thing you can do....
Cold Winter Moon
Oh cold winter moon
And the wind that blows
Bring me a change
For my weary soul
Take away this longing
That fills my heart
Something is over…

Sometimes life tends to repeat itself if you're not careful.... Good to find a moment to recognize old patterns and shake them off.
Great help on this one from the MN Coffee Table Gang - Greg Connor on guitar and vocals, and Mark Lofgren…

The sad and simple tune set a beautiful tone for the more complicated poetry: “…But it’s beating still whole” is such a powerful line. It underscores the strength and courage that I admire in the piece and its creator. Brava!

Really great song .Feel of soul,feel of heart that is not yours.Music is something I feel very passionate about, my experience in various areas of the industry has fed this passion.

I was so excited when SlKrell wrote to ask if I would do the vocals on this excellent song he wrote! I loved his lyrics and the rocking backing guitars. Hope you enjoy it too!
Merry Christmas everyone.
I wanted to drop ya'll a line and say happy holidays.
I'm always thinking of you.
I hope to be around for RPM 2016.
I will be doing RPM as Wildgeas Music.
Much love

Friends...an offering from the not-real album "Dr. Pepsi's Death Cult Glee Club". The song was inspired by t.v. commercials featuring actor William Devane, who has spent the last few years trying to convince Americans to buy gold.

You guys are having so much fun ALL THE TIME!!! I love the creative pool this great stuff comes out of. "Fill the bathtubs with champagne and jump right in".... A perfect sentiment after a long week. Thanks for the happy Friday soundtrack!
The old hippie in me has tried to write a Christmas peace song ....I had a couple of hours today with Seb at pre-school so i just got on with it...i think the sentiment is there but the verses do need a polish but hey! ive ran out of time so this…
