This is the first tune I've recorded in many months. I didn't like it that much to start with. But after getting more creative with the bass line and sprucing up some of the guitar parts, it started to feel better. The vocals helped.

Now listen
She knows where to go
She makes me glad
Takes my hand
Oh, on my way
Now she's mad
No, She's not mad
She states fact
as I lack
Oh, on my way
She lifts me up
Now I'm on my own
I'm home
She sits aside
I go inside
Long gone

Catching up after a month of software upgrade related glitches. This is for the 1 minute challenge from from another site.
The challenge was sitting on my hands while trying to figure out a solution to the computer issues!
But I'm feeling alright…

A favorite style of my wife... like Kris Kristofferson, in a way. Maybe more folk than Outlaw Country...? The song has great meaning for me.
Hope you like it!

If you're a Lou Reed fan, you may like this. As I developed the melody, I just cracked up about how my sound came out! I decided not to fight it...
It's still very rough. I'll return to this one, when I get some time. But most will understand…

An antique progression and a bit of thought...
Thanks for the listen!

Ok, so I'm just a percussionist, and if your only tool is a hammer, the entire world looks like a nail. I get it. And I also get that our songs are our children, so we should be very careful about whom we let them play with.

*Pilón* reveals a Cuban pattern, traditionally played on Timbales, but in this case on Jr. Congas & Congas (with gated reverberation and flanger effect). The rhythm of Pilón is based on the motions of pounding sugar cane.

Pulled this one together in bits and pieces as time permitted. This has been one of my favs, lately!

It's actually a redo of one of my earlier songs. I changed the lyrics a bit, the title and rerecorded the whole thing. The original is called, "I've Changed."
I've got a really painful head cold right now. I thought between bouts of pain I would…

Dedicated to my sweet wife's loving mother, Millie, who is moving into hospice.
She is a very thoughtful person, centered on peace and justice.
The song has a guitar part that symbolizes her. The quieter echo part is Wally, who passed years ago.

Thanks M.T.

Some days I’m fine
Yeah some days I feel sublime
All the time

i am thinking about words tonight
they can be hard as nails
they-can be as shapeless as water
they can break your heart
they can hang like a chain
hold you up for years
cause you to think twice
take away your fears
you are falling in love…

Something completely different- Uilleann pipes(Irish bagpipes) and synth. I wrote this tune over 20 years ago in the style of traditional Irish slow airs. It was recorded way back in 1991 for an album that's been out of print for over 15 years…

A further march down the road in acl's evolution - and one of the many directions we've been dying to get to... it's, ummm, water-y. (And this song is especially dedicated to J Wentz.)

This is a song I wrote with Lisa Purdy (who sings the harmony vocal) about the experience of depression. Jim Bouchard plays lap steel - I'm playing/singing the rest.

An old Stephen Foster song (Pub. Domain)
Always waiting, hopeful sorrow.
Featuring my spouse, Marily!!!!
I could have picked a song to do her justice, next time. My phrasing is kind of hard to follow...
