This is my submission for Akron/Family's "Woody Guthrie's America" Project.
[WOODY PROJECT 2.0](http://akronfamily.com/woodyproject/woody2/Woody_v.2.0/New_Home.html)
A jazz tune featuring flute, sax, and one slightly out of whack Fender. All instruments played by Barry Morgan and the song was mixed and mastered in his home studio.
Lyrics influenced by a conversation with a friend whose daughter was in a really bad way. Kind of set the mood for large parts of the challenge for me this year.

I was thinking about Haiti...
i don't know what to say
i don't know how to feel
when i'm way over here
and things are going well
my house is standing still
my friends are still alive
the smell of spring is in the air
and i just can't connect…

Lyrics by Brian McCloskey in somewhat of a suprise collab. Musically a kind of feel-good soul-pop. I quite like how this turned out, and nominated it my prefered RPM-track this year.

one of those 'it was written even before i started' songs that just rolls out like magic
i tried to keep it simple so as not to destroy the vibe
first finished (if unmixed) track for RPM 2010
the good family needs to go on tour! the vocals are awesome. it was a great workin with yall on the rpm. hope my butt print will come out of your orange chair.lol. looking forward to our next project!
Not originally intended as an acoustic song...but I couldn't get the big riff at the end to sound right with big distorted guitars, and then I realized on acoustics it might sound like it had a little Days Of The New influence.
Track 9 from…
Do you remember those in your past who made your life more magical?

Fine tune, nice harmonies on the chorus. Shame the great guitar work is a little buried in the mix, but a winner none-the-less.
