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.

Oh Yeah thats the goods. I love the sound of your guitars here. Swamp funky blues slide on home kinda stuff. Your vocals are most excellent. Great song.
Pulled this one together in bits and pieces as time permitted. This has been one of my favs, lately!

Oh, yes, this is my loopless experiment, too!

Doug,, very beautiful,,, i just had experience with the hopsice network myself with my mother... Our experience was that they did a wonderful job -- with what is in fact one of the hardest of times -- for patient and family... my mother (for whom the song Geneieve is dedicated on this years RPM) anyway my mother once made the comment to me as we were sitting outside the home where she passed away,, she made a comment about how despite what was happening, she was glad and felt blessed to be meeting so many fine and loving people,,in fact she said she would not have wanted to miss out on making those final friendships.... anyway we found our hospice people to be very very special,, it takes a one in a million kind of person to do that kind of work...
sorry the hear of your situation,, my prayers go with you and you family
beautiful music Richard
A storm I experienced while backpacking in the Uninta Mountains in northern Utah, this is my first song, ever. This is the second reworking of this tune. It tends to be more melodic, which is neither good or bad, just different. I think it jams…
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…
Electric remake of one of my earlier tunes, "Truth". I'm probably not through with it. I typed every bit of percussion in with my computer keyboard! I hope it sounds good to you. Let me know, I can tweak it. The bass is mainly drones I set up…

A reverse take (recorded live at a gig) of a couple of Pink Floyd covers. The amazing Bill Pohl on 2nd guitar. It came out sounding strangely symphonic.
Instrumentation: fretless bass, tabla, acoustic and distorted acoustic guitar, hang drum samples (courtesy of Sudara), soft synth (AAS Ultra Analog), ambient sample of the jungle (pitched down two octaves) a sprinkle of ebow (from my Sudara files).
One of my favorite songs of all time and one of my favorite voices.
Thanks M.T.
My Skin
Some days I’m fine
Yeah some days I feel sublime
All the time
But then there’s days
I wanna crawl out of my skin
And leave it in

Several years ago I had a short lived duo with an oboe and English horn player named Nat. This is a demo from that period. It's an old old chord progression of mine that never really had a melody and Nat improvised this melody in the studio to…
My first composition that uses an odd time signature for a few measures. My drum fills are also more elaborate. It's just a little tune to bob your head to, tap your toe, you know, the good stuff!
I just couldn't sit on this anymore! This is a work in progress. I have some ideas for lyrics, but am waiting for time and inspiration to complete it.
Enjoy,
Doug
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…
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…
the first multi track piece that I actually finished "in the box" in Cubase. An ambient kinda thing that grew out of playing around with the Line 6 DL4. Not sure I like the bow parts, but I may re do it later
about a circus that self destructs and the damage left in it's wake. Yes, it's a weird and/or dark subject but as the lyrics are unintelligible it probably won't upset anybody.
Trapped, Suffocating Inside A Snowglobe.
Written in 2007 after a particularly brutal winter. (Spring was taking its precious time manifesting.)
It kind of expanded from there, taking on a new meaning, as the lyrics perculated.
Comments on Uncle's stuff
Great performance on this. Love the backing vocals. I would bring up the percussion just a bit though. The lead vocal is killer, nice effects on it!
Really smooth and interesting! i like the your style.
Cool ole tune.
Good stuff man! Love the stereo effect on the guitar
So nice, emotional, deep sounds. You really captured something here.
Oh Yeah thats the goods. I love the sound of your guitars here. Swamp funky blues slide on home kinda stuff. Your vocals are most excellent. Great song.
true talent
what a beaut!
You are going to make me cry listening to the beauty here.
Very Beautiful!
very nice composition, quite moving. i'm less convinced by the vocals though, probably too much reverb, or not enough damping..
very moving song and story behind it. Hope you find peace of mind in your troubled times.
Beautiful. And she sounds like a sweet person.

very nice.....can you jump too?... does sound like fun
This is a cool song, I like the vox and the voice rolls in the background too
I dig how your extended, Pixies-esque jam session segues into a completely different song.
Great track mate yeah I hear Reed in here cool.
Nice one mate cool sounds
This is lovely! Great understated smokey vox and ice cool guitar.

Hah! Knip Dyolf! I love it!
Immediate and nicely directed.
Really nice developments. I was caught off guard by the delicacy to expansive transition. Binary winds.
Coming of age, again... Pieces of realization and acceptance. Contemplative.
Great developments... Swings! I really like the deliveries.
Wow Kirk! Peaceful, pensive. Great progression. Love the horn, too!
Hey Adam! Happy to hear you again! Nice rhythms. Bass power!
Thanks, Kirk! That means a lot!
Real comfortable feel. Nice performance.
So nice, good man! Contemplative, fluid. Sinking in...
Thanks, man! I've been too busy this spring. I'll get to some of your stuff asap! Peace! Doug
I don't think I would need to pick a fav, but this is it. I thought it would be the Jazz Mix. Surprise! Nicely done.
Nice weave, here. I lost track of time with it!
Thanks all. You are very kind. :)
Fascinating! Enjoyed!
Cool concept! Nice transitions. Wonderful series!
Bright! Expansive. This is wide and really nice! Great images. Nice vox. Effective simplicities and rhythms. Jazzyishness!
Sweet, delicate and reflective. Really nice phrasing. I was drawn by the title and kept by the emotion.
Peaceful. Enjoyable!
Fluid. Peaceful. Well done!
