This is a very professional, great job! Excellent performance, really! I dig everything -- vocals, lyrics, music -- all of it! Very impressive! Rock on!
This one has a good groove, but I admit you won't dance as much to this one. Grab a drink and just listen and tap your feet. Turning yourself around with conviction drives through every beat...
When I read the album blurb, I was wondering what the effect would be from the Rock/Acoustic split.
It's fab! Brilliant transition, and now i'm in another place but still emotionally in the same album.
The album was so good I ended up listening to some of the songs twice. Quality work once again, my friend. It's a shame we only hear from you once a year.
ER
A lil rocker influenced by some of my faves, Springsteen, Petty etc.. well i left my home and family
and made my way out west
i lost my job at the steel mill
im a hoping for the best
in this life
for my kids and wife

Had this one written before the end of year. Finally hit the record button a couple of weeks ago with some electric rythym guitar tracks and built it from there. I was having a problem getting the song to mix right and had an idea to try a different…
It was about time for an anthem...

FOUND IN THE MOVEMENT
She moves in a spinning reminder
A violent link to the past
Don't you dare try to define her
She might not be big, but she's fast
A release of God-given aggression
An arm near her head in defense
Somewhere just short…
Andy Samford kicking ass on guitar, Brian Martin on bass, and Jim Garn (MTC) on drums... A song that was assembled bass-ackwards.
I'M FIGHTING TIME
Sitting in the movies back in 1985
The first long weekend in July
With Doc and Einstein…
Arrangement by Jana Persson (Strummindude)
Accompanying vocals by Andrea Szirbik
CIVIL WAR
Holding down the borders
What's mine is yours
Folding down the corners
Of pages meaning more
Walking on the wire
Never thought to look for…
Thanks to Colin Garvey for giving his energy to this little duet... And to Genevieve for making good on a promise.
BORN AT THE RIGHT TIME
Born at the right time
Underneath the summer sky
Always walked a fine line
Making good and barely…
My first completed 2013 RPM track. Thanks to Kavin for turning a simple acoustic song into what you hear today.
ONE LAST DANCE
I never got to tell you what's been on my mind
It might be just as well now that we're running out of time…
DANCING IN THE LIGHT
Got you on my mind
Like every other day
From now until the end of time
I haven’t found a way
To take you dancing in the light
And take you running in the night
I’m thinking you just might
Like to go dancing, dancing…
TURN ROUND
All your turns
All your pain
Lessons learned
Will remain
Hiding in the silence of a footstep
Some familiar sound
Walking toward the east before the sunset
Turn round
Lost in thought
Troubled mind
All you’ve fought…
OUSTANDING collaboration with the great Gary Fox.
ONE AND ONLY
How many times have you been
Captured by a camera
With no one really knowing who you are
Caught in the sight lines
In the background
In the corner of their eyes
Never…
JUST AS WELL
Why is youth so beautiful
And why’s it always wasted on the young
When did my days go flying by
So many passes of the sun
There’s so much I could tell you
So much I’d like to say
It might be just as well
You never heard…

Woo, what an opening... hang on, I need to switch to the good speakers!! Love it.
The album was so good I ended up listening to some of the songs twice. Quality work once again, my friend. It's a shame we only hear from you once a year. ER
If I forgot to click "favorite" for any of these songs, forgive me, it was a mistake.
T-pain!!
Thanks for making us all seem lame again.
