#RPM Challenge 2013#
I was standing behind an elderly couple in the grocery store checkout line last week.
The cashier told them that someone had donated $100 toward their groceries. $100 had already been paid toward their $121 grocery…
LYRICS:
With Or Without You
Try to get along but it takes two
It’s a Whole lot of me and not much you
Working myself right to the bone
Thinking that I am all alone
Just like a monkey up in the tree
Throwing your feces straight…
Well this is a very happy song.....you must be getting some hot happy action!!!!!...now I am happy too...seriously...another outstanding tune...hope you have a great Christmas and get some more happy!!!
This tune is one of my top ten favorites of all time.
It's originally performed by The Mike Curb Congrigataion and used as a music track for the movie "Kelly's Heroes" starring Clint Eastwood, Telly Salavas, Caroll O'Conner, Don Rickles, Donald…
In case you are in the mood today to kick some ass with Mike and me.
Congas, Vintage Bass Cocktail Drum, Bongos, and (of course) Cowbell.

6/8
I uploaded this one earlier in the month with a rough track. Colin W. and Greg Connor helped me improve the arrangement and we recorded it at Winterland Studios this past week with some amazing equipment and awesome sound mixing support from…
This one has the stuff. I purposely left it alone for a few days so I could come back and listen to it "*fresh*".
I think it's going to be the star of the Minnesota Songwriters compilation album.
This tune began my Instrumental journey and starts my 1st CD "Escape to Clifford". Using acoustic guitars and voicings, I hoped to create a musical soundscape.
John and i are in the process of trying to write a blues album and here is our first attempt to throw at your ears. Hope you enjoy! Johns musicianship is Bloody excellent i just hope i can keep up...
With huge thanks to the awesomeinfinity Jake, Wrinkled Shirt, who let me use his gorgeous instrumental track "Gaza".
The sun left the city, from the ground
Moonlight woke up, falling down
Why are you scared, free as a bird
Now that the heat…
Released via CD Baby this past week. The full version is available to stream on my site: www.robertpalomo.com/corporation_blues

I love it!
*. . . . Been there / Done That . . . .*
Now we have a song to describe the experienced, kinda like what Woody Guthrie did for us.
Your songs are always good Robert!

Here's the second one we did at the Winterland Studios. You'll hear Greg Connor on guitar and vocals, Colin W. on bass and vocals and Randy C. on piano. This was a blast! I think this is definitely the best version yet of this song.
The old tin geetar...
Did this one sometime in 2009 on a Boss MBR. I'd recently joined what became Songcrafters.org and PJ (Wiley) posted a bass/drum track for us ubiquitous blues guitarists to solo over.
I decided to go a different route…
I wrote the lyrics and melody to this song a week or so ago when I was feeling that unsettling disconnected feeling we all get from time to time when we're missing the people we love.... Then I gave myself the challenge to try a few things with…

Comments made by Greg Connor
Great contribution on both your parts!
Hang in there Paul.
What a find . . . A real treat to listen to, and a wonderful message.
Very refreshing! I've been doing a little work lately with a music producer who is using a drum machine on everything. This is much better.

Beautiful piece of music. I like all the acoustic tones and textures.
O M G That's the way to kick it! OH OH . . . I just got to the lead guitar break. JOHN, you are impressive! You guys need to do this again!
I stopped by this morning for another listen. Beautiful craftsmanship!
I love it! *. . . . Been there / Done That . . . .* Now we have a song to describe the experienced, kinda like what Woody Guthrie did for us. Your songs are always good Robert!
I really like Colin's bass and supporting vocal on this song! Softening the third verse was an inspired idea. You got the magic Colleen!
That was fun! Thanks for including me. This is a wonderful song! The song and recording combined is something that you can be proud of.
Nice combination of percussion and classical guitar intro. Lead guitar is a great accent.
Intoxicating! I love it!
This hits the spot! I agree with previous comments, Byrds, Kinks, something from a long lost era. The song feels very familiar to me. Very inviting.
Lovely . . . Lovely . . . Lovely . . .
I have had days that could support a background track like this.
Nice sounds
Sounds like you are having fun! It's always fun to get a new toy.
I'm smiling and laughing all the way through! You certainly know how to capture the moment.
. . . . . . Damn Colleen! You are leaving us in the dust!
