I predict that this will be one of the more popular tracks of the album, because the whole thing took about 45 minutes to create. It was COLD that day!! Lyrics (approximate) Doncha stand too close or you'll burn your toes move your face…

At least three retakes of the vocals here, still not happy. Thank God for Reverb. Lyrics: Sitting here in my own little eden Never peeking out the door looking inward settling for reason never seeking any more the parking lot is…

If you are wondering, the song is about the boardgame Ticket to Ride, but I can't call the song that. I call the scoring marker a "dingus". Lyrics Now you're laying out the board shuffleing the cards placing all the scoring markers how…

Wrote this after I was getting over an illness. I think it came out pretty good, and my guitar sounds good through that '64 Ampeg Reverberocket. (Lyrics are approximate) Sittin around like a bump on a log walkin around like my head in a…

An RPM Album needs to have at least 10 tracks. So this one was included. I had been kinda itching to do an "acoustic lead", this is probably the best I can do.

I am not sure anyone will like this track but me, but I think I did a decent songwriting job here. Lyrics: 16 hours a day upon my seat Never walk a step I’m feelin beat Temp me with a little food Put me in a better mood Waiting for another…

I set my gear up on Feb 1 with the intention of recording a number that I had “ready to go”. I recorded this instead, which just popped up out of nowhere…

This song started off as a dream, and I was miles away from a guitar and any sort of recording device when it came together in my head. Somehow I was able to recall it and put it together into a song. This song includes my first attempt at slide…

I had some trouble with this one, but I think I have wrestled it into shape. The guitar solo at the end was supposed to fade out after 10 or 15 seconds, but I had such fun doing it that I left the whole thing in. What the heck…

I had a difficult time with this, and all the vocal and electric guitar parts needed to be re-done several times. I’m still not completely happy with it, although I feel like it’s the best song I wrote this year…

Yes, I’m learning about “The Circle of Fifths”. Decided to blow some Harmonica again. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I finally realized what I been doing wrong all these years But everything I say…

This year's pointless instrumental.

I still love the old version of Ugo Rez, and think of a reason to use it every year. ------------------------------------- I love to wake on a monday puttin my clothes on Startin my day I love to drive on the highway smiling people…

My annual ritual of torturing myself by trying to play C7 on guitar. I think these are the best vocals I’ve done in several years. --------------------------------------- You spend the day just loungin watchin the tv that don't bother…

I set up my antique Roland TR-707 Beatbox, a vocal mic, an amp, and tried to play this “live”. It came out pretty bad, and I thought I’d have to toss it. But after a couple day’s retrospection, I decided to save the rhythm guitar and drum tracks…

This was recorded “Live” (even if it was the fourth take), and did no “fixes” to anything. So this is what I “really sound like”. I am happy with the bridge, which I came up with about 5 minutes before hitting “record…

A song about the upcoming End of the World. They tell me that the world is almost ended the calender runs out and there's nothing more to say The sun will flicker out and leave us all to die So many things will be left undone You and I will…

A song I wrote when I was about 19 years old. I never thought it was good enough to record. Maybe I was wrong! I float around in a pool of slime I can't be seen with the naked ey You know it's gonna be lotsa fun To munch out on a bacterium…

I wanted more songs that WEREN'T about death and destruction. This song is not really autobiographical. I go down to my basement room To get away from everything To forget forgettable days Try to find something interesting Got a big comfy…

An oldie, which I recorded very badly on a 4-track back in the 20th century. I have always wanted to do a "full" version with the bombastic fanfare I always envisioned. Here it is. I grind my butt into the sand where the ocean meets the…
