Morning light on the mountain stream,
catches the eye of the child within his dreams.
The day begins, present and aware,
of all the beauty, he plays without a care.
Castles on the riverbank, a choir of birds in song,
picking spring flowers in…
Why does everyone have a better acoustic guitar sound than me...?
More Neil Young sounding to me but I can also picture/hear B.O.C (fyi: Blue Oyster Cult for the kiddies..:>) covering this or the Marshall Tucker Band.
Love the first chords, drew me right in. Wish I wrote it! What's the intro's chord progression so's I can steal em! If this was a bit faster, it'd be a great Monkees tune (i love the Monkees!) or 'country-fy' it and I can hear Tom T. Hall covering it (is he still alive?)
;>)
Now thats a complex picking pattern. You voice is perfect with the sound of the guitar. Sounds like an electric guitar on a very clean amp setting, real nice. Nice and echoey.
The title pulled me in and the wonderful guitar kept me rapt until the end. Real flipping nice song, I've got a shiver up my spine from this, deep lyrics. Fab.
I'm tired now, and I think I'll take a few days off from RPM. I need one more tune and that shouldn't be to tough to do.
Thanks everyone,
I'll be in touch soon.

I'm not sure if this is rockabilly or late 40s jump R'n'B. Dance music though. I had fun with the lyrics and the backing vocals.
This is now a tidied up version 18/3/09
A little rough but I loved making it.
My friend Dave had bought a Roland GR-20, so it was critical he did the solo in the middle and end :)
Oh, all made on the Boss Micro BR. Love that thing!!
This was fun to make!
After I read into RPM and understood that anybody could take the challenge, I joined up. I'm starting with a clean slate, so I hope I can finish! This a WIP of the first tune I'm working on. Everything I do will be recorded/produced with the Boss…
Comments on Dave Berry's stuff
Why can everyone else play cool solos but not me! Bring up the main vox!
I'd bring up the solo and add reverb to put it 'up' among the stars with the strings!
what a great easy feelin vibe! The change up tempo kicks it good! Who needs the MTB...?
Yup, flying... also kinda reminds me of Queens work for the Flash Gordon film soundtrack at points and also UK (look them up)with their synth sounds.
I was relaxing, drifting down the river in a canoe then the song picked up! Nice solo, definately M.T.B. flavored.

Reminds me of Neil Young for some reason!
Nothing more inspiring than new gear. Nice track Dave.
You sound great with it already! I love mandolin.
You cooked up a great tune with your new mandolin! Another example of your songwriting genius my friend!

Oh yea, I need to get listening to your music, deadly style.
I like it, great songwriting. This is what I like big time.
I really like this, very well done.
Wow, beaut, great picking here.
Nice sounds, nice mood.
Could be a great blues-rock style song about a guy who lost something really important, and he can't get past the pain.
Nice old country feel, its like hearing a song on the wind as you are out driving on a lonley road heading to nowhere. Nice harmonica, nice.
Real nice song, different in a good way.
Super feel here, harmonies are wonderful, the whole dang thing is wonderful.
Deadly roots music. Authentic and real. Nice.
Yup, this is very nice.
