#RPM Challenge 2013#
Oh it caught me by surprise
I Looked into your pretty eyes
Nothing more than a simple kiss
And a moment like this
We don’t need no fancy cars
Diamond Rings that shine like stars
You never really asked for more
Than moments…
I wrote this song 5 years ago and have recorded a new version of it every year since (I think). This version features a Baritone 8 String guitar and Mandolin.

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!

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…

Timely, mellow, and fun. Have a great Paddy's Day, Greg.
(AND this drives us nuts. You can shorten Patrick to Pat, but Patty is a girl's name here, so it's St Patrick's Day or Paddy's Day.)

(Em) A legend that the sailors told
Tales shared from long ago
(C) Secrets that are captured in the (Em) air
(Em) It comes to you from far way
Whispered roars that fade away
(C) Answers that are carried on the (Em) breeze
Only (C) heard…
Forgot I had this one, till it popped up on my Ipod on the way to work this week. I thought,'I know that song !!??!!' Can't help it, it comes with age !!!!
This is a remix of this song.
It was recorded in 2010, and I was in a hurry to post it elsewhere because I'm so fond of the song itself. But I've always hated the old mix - I lost the essence of the guitars and choirs during mastering because…
*W O W*
Such a heavy song and so well produced. I pushed the replay button twice so far.
The lyrical message is facinating.
The imagery just doesn't stop. In fact it suggests that I look around the corners.
The melodic presentation is very captivating.
Nice presentation Andrew!
They say we're dangerous, that we never really cared.
That we're selfish, we're blind, and pessimistic.
But I'm not wired for disaster, I'm not broken at the seams.
Alas, I've been watching them, rip away from me.
Digest my insides, they are…
I'm lacing up my shoes.
I always knew that walking was good for you, but when you're headed for somewhere like the Pub, well . . . that's like getting two rewards in one.
Nice toe tapper!
First new one from me in a long time.
Kind of a love song, I guess.
Recorded in my new "studio" (3rd bedroom in the new house). Almost up and running now... shine and don't stop wondering!

On my way…
Here's my second submission to the Stones Fest.i'd have liked a bit more time to play....but with four children under6 you take your time when you can or it don't get done...hope you enjoy as much as i did doing....another stripped Reg Version…
Oh yet another nostalgic blast from the past. I found this unbelievable backing track surfing the web some years ago. I usually never use backing tracks because they usually suck bad . But this one is like having mitch and noel at your side. I…
I agree with Bee. This pulled me back to the time when I had hair that went all the way across the top.
I think I'm going to have to pour myself a bowl of Wheaties (Breakfast of Champions) before I listen again. I need energy to keep up with all those licks.
Well now - this is a collaboration between myself and lady Jane. It's an odd tale about a prince and a water maiden, with a twist in the "tail".
Sounds quite 70's prog rock - hear it out for the twist.

Lyrics:
Oh little girl won't you tell me what you were looking for when you came to this place?
You've got friends, but not many of them like to be seen.
Oh…
This was from about 4 yrs ago thru a Guitar Center King of the blues online collaboration. I was using Guitar Rig Jimi Hendrix Octavia on this.....pretty hairy sound right there.
This song written by Mark Imsdahl..I found it over at Greg Connor's ...I liked it so much that I asked Greg and Mark if I could do an electric version of it and they agreed...i want to have Mark blow some harp on it when he gets back from vacation…

Love it and it’s especially fitting for me today as I sit in the shade of some tall whites pines here in northern Mn. Good one, Greg!
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!

@Richard L. Aceves. Thanks for asking. The instrumental break is a High D and a Low D Irish Whistle.
Sounds like a great summer road trip song. " Let's Go"

I don't listen to Travis, but I would listen to this again. Valerie doesn't know what she's missing.
Sounds even more mystical and dark. I'm enjoying the evolution. It's a little like Darwin.
Beautiful songs, this one included. Your lyrics have a depth to them, engaging, and thought provoking. Very easy listening, and enjoyable.
You really have the licks! I love it! It's been HOT here too. Maybe if I stand out in the Sun, I'll be able to play the guitar like you.

Don't know how I missed this one. I'll second Tess' comment, WOW.... "Shine" hits the mark!
Great song for walking down the isle.
I can just about hear those lips coming through. I've always liked the attitude of this song.
Very pretty.

Good story telling supported by good music! The perfect combination. I can hear Lady's voice in there keeping it interesting. Great collaboration!
Professional sound. Beautifully constructed with Lyric and instrumentation.
Zesty and refreshing.
I stopped by for another listen. I love the "Two Old Ladys" verse.
I think this is my favorite "Ron Rouch" song so far. You hit the bullseye here!
*WOW* That is some intense playing! Fun to listen to.
Still Laughing
