This was a song I wrote last year, and haven't recorded until last night. We had a jam session at my place, so you'll hear some folks you know on this live recording.. Feels like a old time sing-a-long as I listened again this morning.

You know this story the apple tree, the snake.
it takes Hope and latin drums to kill a snake
don't leave home without your hand drum and you will thrive
Fresh breeze on Lake Superior
And waves collide with the shore
The sailor must be watching
For gusting wind we can’t ignore
Loose the main, correct the healing
Point the bow to the wind
Recognize the peaceful feeling
In this sacred…
The desert heat can twist a mode as the ears suffer a mirage .
Twist twisted spin in the heat your senses are turned senselessly swirling octaves high
Made possible by Gibson’s brilliant P - 90 ‘s
A tale of keeping your head above the water, or not...
Recorded Jan-Feb 2011.
I wrote it many years ago, never thought I'd ever do anything with it.
I intended to record this with just an acoustic and my new EDB (electric upright bass…

I say "first" because I've found another one, When I Try To Be Me, that Mrs R says I have to do too... but that's unlikely to be the next one I post because I'm working…

Sitting around in my shop a couple of days ago with the Goodall and the Zoom H4N. First time I've really messed with using the internal mics on the H4N in multitrack mode
(Funny song about an embarrassing moment that turned out well.)
I was making the rounds, gaining ground on this cute little brunette
In a bar in Fort Worth, Texas, one night I'll never forget
But then that bartender ruined my plans…
A song about two sides of Nashville. One, loving and perfect to nurture an upcoming songwriter. Two, a business of endless circles of deception and frustration. I mostly know the second.....
The rejection letters keep piling up, saying your…
One of those moments I had disappointed my lovely bride...
Tried to apologize with my guitar....hasn't worked yet...
I have a lonely guitar I keep beside my bed
"cause when my guitar's happy my lady's always sad?
The two don't get along…
This would be the ballad of Rick and Debbie, head over heals, how about you?
It was a simple plan take her out one time
But something went wrong with that plan of mine
I didn't fall I didn't fall I didn't fall in love--I took a tumble…
Like beavers and willows
Bats and mosquitos
Toad frogs and flies
Like algae and oil spills
Miners and coal hills
Black holes and light

This song was written for those interested to hear a list of breakfast cereals.
Also, when you reverse "all brands kellogg's" you can hear "smell that in your pool" which makes an interesting title.
It’s like floating down a river
When you’re not quite in control
That river’s going to take you
Only where it wants to go
So you reach out with conviction
At debris along the way
That river’s going to take you
If you give up and say…
Pull another shift down at someday winner’s mine
Claw and scape to build up some other man’s design
I heard you sing the gospel, with hands up in the air
Already in Elysium, guess I’ll meet you there
Raise your drink and cigarette
As…
Bare with me place your cameras down
The lens inside your head is good enough tonight
No filter can project your mind
The colors seem to dull, an uninspired shade
Dare witness, don’t close your eyes
Take the leap and be surprised
