This song was me seeing where I could go with some various chord changes and voicing. I was going for a rainy day in summer in the English countryside circa '72 feel for it. I kind of got it down, at least, my memories of it, which are foggy now…

Backwards acoustic! In synch with the beat! How did he do that? I was messing with the acoustic and it was sounding too '67 for me, so I decided to throw a hip-hop beat on it. I kind of like the holes in it, as well as the harmonies. It doesn…

The horn line came first, I started humming it in the garage one very cold morning in Feb. I was stuck for a title, until a friend used Kismet in a sentence. It's a fun bouncy number, though the mix is kind of bad.

Another of the three songfight inspired titles. Painted Tense (the title) actually came from a band name generator website. I thought it might make a good song title so I submitted it to the RPM HQ person doing the name-from-a-hat picking. I would…

This is my stadium anthem, the one to close the show with. Everyone put your lighters (or cellphones) in the air and sing along... I was sick as **** when I recorded it, so my vocals on it are really pretty bad. Ah well, that's rock and roll…

So this one was a melody I had floating around for a couple of years. It originally came to me in driveway while getting the car. Who knew that walking around from the passenger side to the driver's side could be so inspirational. Anyway, I originally…

Also recorded when I was very, very sick...I needed to get RPM 2006 kicking into gear, regardless of the state of my voice. This song was written and recorded on the spot. What you are hearing is what I made up as I went with the record button…

This song has a tale similar to Left Me Wondering. This was made up on the mic, both gtr and vox. Unlike Left Me Wondering however, I went back and overdubbed some backing harmonies and I also did a little extra GTR on it too. What's fun about…

This was another fun one for me, especially doing the backing vocals. The song is a bit haphazard, structurally speaking, and my performance has some technical issues, but it was just fun to play. The riff came to me early one, but kept elluding…

Nothing like a good gtr riff to inspire a song. This one is backwards in a way. The first verse has a lot of layers, the second one is much cleaner... I had fun doing the backing vox on this one, it was the first day I really had my voice back…
