This was a write it and record it in one session song challenge that my songwriting friends and I came up with this week. Lions and Lambs was started thinking of spring, but it turned into a song about relationships... as they often do.
Greg…
I wrote this song while out hiking some awesome trails in Zion National Park... gave me some excellent inspiration. I also tried some different stuff with the mixing and using my keyboard... so trying to push a few of my envelopes...
Here…
I had a wish to sing along with Greg, so he offered me a piece of his Cherry Pie to sing along with... I added a few other bits here and there as well. Thanks Greg!!! This was a fun one for me... added some piano and a teeny bit of percussion....
This is my second piece for the RPM challenge... And it's a big milestone for me... the first time I ever played my own instrument along with it! It's rough, but you gotta keep trying and start somewhere, right? Greg Connor... you'll understand…

I dig it. Guitar and voices. Mandolin? Multiple voices. Live recorded maybe? I am envious that you have access to that kind of community locally. Well done.

This is a great song! I can't believe its from just 1 mic! This would be something a person would hear on prairie home companion to bring in the spring. After listening to it a few times I would really love to hear it live!!
This is a song I wrote this week, trying to capture that strange emotion you sometimes feel during times of great milestones in your life - good things happening, changes, moving on. Joy and melancholy all at the same time. Everyone feels it…
Poor old Reg is all at sea .....
Pray with a tear to the lord
You bang your head on the wall just to release some pain
You feel your senses light up like a match to butane
Feel the warmth of the terror in the release of control
Tell yourself…
The Skybeam engineers were placed in sensory deprivation pods and dosed with specially designed psychotropic drugs to enhance perception and creative abilities, the music injected directly into their cerebral cortex for maximum effect..
Reg has fallen out of love again and written a song to his ex....she always thought she was right on everything and he wasn't so sure she was .....
Your the one who’s got to sleep through the night
You look in this mirror to finally see…
My mother died of alzheimer's four years ago now by the time she died her memories had all but gone and she had no knowledge of who I was but for fleeting moments when she would recognise me and squeeze my hand and I would hug her. This is a song…
Here is another song, one of my favorites, from the album I recently released. Listen to the entire album here:
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_koW9g8yaWuL4ax97SD_6l-HQwaN1pRi34
I love those unexpected minor notes in the melody. Lovely lovely lovely! Perfect match for the wonderful lyrics. I know a shady spot like that I think!
Reg was sat below the cliff having a sneaky smoke and he couldn't believe what he was witnessing ......I recorded the acoustic with the mic then added bass then a bit of piano and string then the tele then I decided what the subject would be and…
Just finished running sound for the Second Act Players’ production of "Finding Gladys" and enjoyed putting together original music to use for a theme, a soap opera, and scene changes. The song 'Getting To Know You' from the musical "The King And…
Hello peeps!
Long time no public activity from me.
I've been working on a bunch of stuff with the guitarist from my old band. None of its ready...
However, I've been experimenting with different ways of jamming and doing demos. And in the…
Lovely to hear your wonderful voice here again. Love this spare arrangement. Great sentiment in your lyrics. Life’s a journey indeed! I hope life is treating you well.
Listen to the Ice breaking on the shore of Lake Pepin, a wide spot on the Mississippi River. The sound of the Ice serves as a backdrop to the last of 11 songs on my new Album, "Instinct". The track was created using a log drum, Irish Whistle…

Sassy Nation version!
Sister Savage and Mr Sandbags collaborated on the original of this wonderful heartbreaker of a song. I've been playing it on the guitar the last few days and it always seemed to come out with a grittier tone, so i asked…
3rd Song for RPM. Getting this done was filled with late night torture.
You tried so hard
You tried so hard
But you’re not there
You’re not there
You’re not there
You’re not there
You made your way
Oh you made your way
But…
It's now 12:00 am....so Song 2 for RPM is as done as it will be!
In this tune I'm experimenting with vocal layering and using my analogue synth (my guitar and piano are giving me the skunk-eye). Thanks again for anyone listening out there…

Truer words were never sung or spoken. Give you and her a huge hug.
