So to be honest, I'm not a huge fan of your voice itself... but I've been listening to all of your songs and you've definitely got a great way with composing and writing melodies! About 5 minutes after listening to this song I found myself humming the chorus melody while walking down the hall.
Another tale of my life. It started when I saw a homeless man standing at the end of an exit ramp. He was holding a cardboard sign and accepting "donations". I wondered if that would be me before long, then this song started playing in my head.

Another angry song. My boss once handed me a spreadsheet about cost prices from vendors and said "I don't like the way this looks". I wondered if the upper management looked at salary costs the same way, and that led to this song.

This is probably the darkest song I've ever done, at least as far as lyrical tone goes. Sometimes life just doesn't seem worth the effort. Then I look at my lovely bride and realize that it is.

For me, one of the side effects of unemployment is insomnia. I am the kind of person who worries about things, and often that worry extends into the night time hours. I sang this after a particularly difficult night. The vocals aren't the best…

"Hey Motorman" was written for the 100 year celebration of the Ariel Lift Bridge.
The bridge was originally built in 1907 with a gondola that went from side to side carrying passengers and vehicles. It was later replaced with a lift system.

It never, ever, gets old.

A brief glimpse, but that's all. Inspired by last April. It's for everyone, but no one in particular. Yes, this one gives more than a passing nod to Ham and Evans. Thanks gents!
Just stopped by for a listen. I agree with the lyrics on this. Seems to me, based on what I've heard, that the good Lord takes us all as we are. At least I hope he does.

Written for Mick's RPM Holiday Challenge...
Anyone who's experienced "Black Friday" against their will should find this entertaining.
YOU MIGHT HAVE A SHITTY CHRISTMAS

Why the hell did I try to sleep at all…
This is a cover of a Sting/Alison Krauss song that was on the Cold Mountain movie soundtrack. This version is a darker, more rock version compared to the original. I got a huge assist from guitar wizard Bob Beal III for the ending solo. Enjoy.
Product of noodling around. Lead guitars are a combo of UAD's Nigel plugin and the Fractal Axe Fx. Clean guitars are the Fractal. The outro guitars are my Princeton Recording amp.
I played the piano's through my midi guitar and Axon. You can…
Enjoyed the entire album, and downloaded it so I can listen to it on my mp3 player. Now if I could just get it working again . . .
Very good music indeed.

oh my what an awesome sound.. love the synth, and the guitar solo!
Illegal Alien Autopsy digs it!

Lovely song-writing. I like the musical arrangement very much also - fits the sentiment in the lyrics very well.
Love your lyric writing, ER. Very engaging vocals too. Excellent RPM album.
Great funky guitar, fella! I hope you found this rpm therapeutic. :-)
Definitely not where I want to be, but I guess I'm stuck here along with most others! Fab horns in the middle section.
You softie. :-) Nice track!
:-) For reasons I do not understand, this seems to be what we've settled for, definitely. Thought-provoking track!
Your album was a joy to listen to. Well done mate!
Love that funky guitar!
Yeah! That guuitar break is stunning.
Yes, it's a little dark, and has a cool beat to it. I like it!
*hands ER some cocoa with extra marshmallow fluff* You poor love. I hope you feel better now!! (I actually like this straight up vocal.)
Ah, great turnaround! Is it the album closer?
That's the attitude, don't let the what nots grind you down. I like the way you often draw from life for your lyrics. Good song.
Cool song - I thought the organ solo was a nice touch.
That Guitar is Awesome!
Woah, class solo!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cool tune - The solo was pretty sweet.

Love the storytelling on this. Very nice. ER
Like your playing on these tunes. Will be back to listen to more. ER
Very nice. Liked it a lot. ER
Big grins for your lyrics. Been there, thinking that. Gawd but I'm glad we sold that old box of a minivan years ago. ER

A theme for "black Friday". Who's idea was this anyway? ER
Laughed at your lyrics. Been there, done that. And my hair is right where it should be, thank you very much! ER
Liked this one most of all. I came away from it thinking: no one considers the cost. ER
Enjoyed your music very much. ER
Enjoyed your music very much. ER
Liked what I heard. Will be back. ER
Hey, Gary. Just stopped by for a listen. Had a depressing day, and I needed a little good rock-n-roll to cheer me up. Thanks! ER
Enjoyed this so much I had to listen to it twice. Powerful rendition of the song. ER
Excellent guitar work on your songs. Enjoyed listening to them. ER
Enjoyed the entire album, and downloaded it so I can listen to it on my mp3 player. Now if I could just get it working again . . . Very good music indeed. ER
Love the backing vocals on this. Very nice. ER
I like this. I thought like this as a teenager. There are a number of girls in high school who never knew I had a "thing" for them. Oh, well. ER
Loved it. Very nice. This is a question I ask my better half every day. She hasn't answered the question directly. I wonder why? ER
After listening to accoustic guitar and ambient electronica, your music certainly cleared out the cobwebs in my attic. Yowsa! ER
Liked your songs very much. Liked this one most of all. ER
