Today I learned 2 things: 1) Mick Jagger turns 66 tomorrow (a horrifying thought, to be sure), and 2) one of my loop CDs contains vocals from a man who does a good job imitating him. Soooo, with some appreciation for Mick's accomplishments, and…
Another older song, this is my attempt to sound like one of my all-time favorites, Robin Trower. While he never used horns in his songs, I like them (being a former sax player), so I used them in this song to enhance the sound. Let me know what…
This song speaks to a dichotomy I've noticed about the digital age. While businesses certainly have a lot to say to their customers, and use all kinds of electronic means to reach them, the same is not true of the individual. Now that we have…

Good subject to write about.

A song about writing songs that isn't really about song-writing, and knows it is being written.

Hey everybody, come out in the streets now
Hey everybody, let's have a good time
Bring along your cooler, there's good food to eat now…
I was listening to Leonard Cohen a lot this winter, and these lyrics sort of came out from there...don't know what they really mean, i was more interested in trying to see if I could mimic Leonard's style, which of course I can't, but this was…
En Francais.
English lyric:
I don't know why there is not another girl for me here
Or near here,
But over there are plenty of girls for him
What a shame - what a shame
Every day I watch the men and boys with girls on the beach…
A song about the five stages of grieving, as devised by the (late) Elizabeth Kubler-Ross. Unfortunately knowing these stages does not help you get over them.
You've been managing expectations
Consultations end in tears
Even if you're optimistic…
Bit of a waltz.
Everything I know about dancing I learned from watching.
This is my piano debut.
Bethan deserves some of the blame for this one somehow. Thanks.
We have an old and senile cat with a dodgy thyroid gland who is a total pain in the bum. I know she can't help it but god she annoys me, so this song is therapy. It's a love/hate thing. Recorded as part of RPM 2010
I have a cat that loves to sit on my lap every time I sit down at my PC. I can't find the right lyrics to write about her, but I'm sure I'll find the inspiration after hearing this song. Laughed when I heard it.

this is one i have to stop tweaking - six versions and i still don't get what i hear in my head
would love some crit for this one as it's doing my head in
thanks
I stopped by to listen to this year's album, and again I am green with envy. I wish I could play anywhere near as well. Great guitar work, sir. A pleasure to listen to.

This one is about how falling in love kind of involves giving up any say in whether or not your heart gets trampled. It's about that fear. Gary doing a sterling job as usual on lead guitar..
She's amazing
Beauty holds no bounds
and her voice…
Stopped by to listen to this year's effort. Liked most of what I heard. I agree that falling in love involves fear, risk, and not a little anxiety. I know those emotions well.

I mostly wanted to make music with a funky clav line I'd come up with, so this is it. For the voiceover, I unabashedly used an awesome monologue by Ken Nordine.
Just stopped by to listen to your 2010 album. I liked a number of the songs, including the K Beam, and loved the Sho Be Do. You're never too old to sing, by the way. Well done.
ER
Allelujiah-This was supposed to be a completely different song, but this one just wrote itself instead. It’s almost all first take, except for the bass, which took a while to get straight so that it wouldn’t overwhelm the song. It has this tone…
Hey Gary - I listened to your album on the RPM jukebox, and this is my favorite so far. I'll probably change my mind later, but I like the harmonies you did, and I find myself singing the chorous at random times. Well done, sir. I liked all the songs and I'll be loading them into my MP player once I finish downloading.
Regards.

Hey old friend! Glad you liked my work from this year's challenge. This song in particular has been my favorite of this album. It captures the essence of how rediculous it is for Kylie to have her own museum. I also like The Dogs Name. I wonder if my better half thinks of me in those terms once in awhile. Oh, wait, we have cats.
Welcome to the site and I'll stop by from time to time for a listen.

Comments on Endicott Road's stuff
Thank you for your comments about our music.Like this song,very nice melody and back vocals.
Ooh check out that break! Is that you playing guitar?! Great!
One thing good about girlfriends, they do inspire us to write great tunes like this one. Nice work. Classic E.R.
Lovely melody, Terry!
Another not so quiet victory from your not so ordinary life. Lots of cool guitar parts too.
This is a really good track, Terry. I love the way it bounces along and thought the lyrics were great.
Like the jolly arrangement, and the quirky synth brass break!
I'm up, I'm dancing around. Another fun tune from Endicott Road......
Well done E.R. I like this one too! Faved.
Oh man, this is really cool.........
Nice up-tempo track, Terry. Optimistic with the feel good factor.
Mighty fine guitar work there!
I never heard of loop vocals. I must be as old as Mick. :)
:D Me too man, me too.
This is a foot tapper. The horns work well with the guitars. We're rockin' now! One Mo' time.........

Love the chorus. Hope it works out for you man!
I like this E.R. a happy little tune, but the lyrics reminded me that my ship is still at sea! It should be here when I'm 64 :D
Great rhythm and lyrics, Terry. Cool instrumental break too!
Sad but true... w;-)

A parent grows into his role just as a child grows up. Funny how it works that way, isn't it? Nice song about it. ER

Hey, every guy is Fred Astaire on the dance floor. I thought so until everyone stopped laughing. Nice song. ER
Have enjoyed listening to your album. ER
They drive like that here in the States, too. ER

I like the guitar rhythm on this. The lyrics are good, too. Nice song. ER
Just stopped by for a listen. I like your approach to blues. It's simple, accoustic, and very enjoyable. ER

Love the groove on this. And I often wonder where the hell I'm going as well. Then I know I'm having my version of a blond moment. ER
