K.G. made gold with this one. words are oh so good. J.H. broke away from his bass and added a very nice banjo part. i did a little clapton bending . i think this is a magical moment for our band. we all came together at the end and did it! i hope…
this was one of our first takes of the month. still in search of a mix at this point in the month. my personal low point because i forgot my lyric notes and really cut my words short and didnt sing or deliver well. i highly believe in moving on…
releasing my inner ozzy and tony iommi. had lots of fun with this one. started as a little middle of jam practice thing at the end of january. boy it took off. the whole band live on this one! this song is dedicated to Moschell, who motivated…
we just started rolling tape and this fell out of the sky and it felt great as it was happening too. we are all pretty rusty after little practice the last several months. trying to shake the dust off and ready a new rig for this years rpm challenge…

K.G. wanted to write a "good times" song and i think he hit this one out of the park. here in indy the highway does a big loop around the city. add some fun and music and that equals a rockin' good time.

A rather flat version of an original instumental jam played live as a four piece in the studio.we played reserved compared to normal renditions. others wanted this on the album, i voted no. we made our 35 minutes. thank god!

Another beauty on this stormin' album crammed with classic rock anthems. Solid song-writing and no nonsense we-rock-and-we-know-we-do performances - loved it!

i tell K.G. that this one is like the allman brothers and bruce springsteen doing a tune together. another kick ass K.G. tune. we played this thing alot and nailed this take live!
from the album "Uniform"
she hides her heart under the pillow
waiting for the good fairy to come
replace this worn and broken thing
with a heart that can feel again
she's never sure which night will be her lucky one
but she anticipates…
A song about vanity and how it can drive one to a false sense of supremacy and righteousness … and how the simplicity of the forces of nature can challenge this predicament …
I've been messing with the scale and tempo of this tune for the past…

I finally got my trumpet out, after 35 years of it being stashed away ... another draft from RPM2012 ... enjoy ... lyrics below:
When I was just shy of 17
The days were short, the nights were kings
We stayed awake to sing a song
We never thought…
No im not happy and no im not sad, no im not good but i know im not bad. No i wont go there, but no i wont stay, no im not straight but no im not gay, no need to tell me i know im not right, no happy endings and no end in sight. I got no way of…
This is a live cut from an NPR radio broadcast back in 1988 while my Irish Trad group Scartaglen was on one of its first east coast tours. Found recently on a cassette tape. Musically this was one of my favorite periods in the history of the band…
Were you not there
I'd have fallen through I swear but hey
You were unaware
That I'd built up a dependence on you
Well alright
Never mind, I'll find salvation in a needle
or a bottle of somekind.
you were to me
somewhere between a saint and…
When you walk away, don't talk that way
Imagine the words you say
May be your last.
And if you're angry please don't leave
Just think how near may be the end.
Why must you hold your silly grudges
and revel in your woe
You always had a talent…
