Stripped down, I almost did this one as a live, one take vox and gtr "on-mike" bit. I did the song, kind of liked, but decided to do a tracked version, just to see what it would sound like. Ended up liking it more.

This Lovin’ Cup- I was watching the idiot box and just holding my guitar when this little vamp on a B chord came out of nowhere. Using the same recorder, I recorded about 20 seconds of the riff. The lyrical idea came on the trip to Chicago, while…

Mr. Fox,,, your magic is powerful,, this piece captures/pulls me into a world of my own memories, feelings,, thoughts,,, hopes,,, dreams,,,,rememberences (think i just made this word up) this music is like a liquid impressionest painting,,, a place to get lost, and perhaps if lucky found again
thank you very much Richard

This is probably the most tender song I've heard from you. I have felt the same way about a woman, and prayed that moment would never pass even though I knew it would.
Nicely done.

I can hear this being played in a smoke-filled bar, and see semi-drunken patrons bouncing on the dance floor while the song plays. Great song for a live band.

Matter Of Fate- This song started as a riff I was doing while tuning my guitar. It sounded cool, so I happened to record it on a small dictation recorder I have so I wouldn’t forget it. When I listened to the riff it just screamed Sticky Fingers…

Figure Out- There are about 4-5 takes of this song, all different. The song started off in the key of D, but I couldn’t hit the notes in the chorus. I then tried it in A, but it was lacking drive and energy. I tried it in G, but I couldn’t get…

Hold On- Ok, this one is really hard. Not in a rock sense, but other ways. Musically, this song really dances on the line of schmaltz, and a few times, trips over it. I had a hard time singing some of the lines, since I don’t have a pretty voice…

Well, what can I say here? I knew I wanted to do this one with a pseudo dark, smoky old jazz club feel. I kind of pulled it off, but not completely. The song itself was a happy accident riff. I picked up my acoustic, threw a capo on for fun and…
Way Kool! Holly crap you have written some great songs...so many! Only had time to get thru 2 set lists. I will be back to listen to the rest. Great mix, great sound, cool voice! I dig it!
Well, Well, Well- There is still unadulterated, unabashed love in the world. Yes, the song is masculine sounding, no shock there, since I am a guy. However, despite a friend’s comments to the contrary, I didn’t intend this song to be about getting…
Be careful. She's pretty powerful.
SHE WALKS
She walks on the leaves without making a sound
She walks like she can’t hear the dragons all around
She walks and the sun stays a pace or two behind
She walks with your secrets in the back…
Welcome to my day on the river with Karen, folks.

Throw the jackets in the hull of the boat

Diminished Wattage - The first single from the Signals|Noise album. This song is based on an actual conversation where it was insisted that the fog in San Francisco is not real, but rather a chemical produced by the government. This actually inspired…
This is not about choosing sides, it's about being disillusioned and angry. Feels good to shout behind loud guitars. Thanks Steve Litras for the guitar solo.
All the drones march in lock step into the rally where our protagonist is swept into world of fear that only feeds his paranoia. This will make sense when the complete album released, I promise. :-)
We try to include a song about a donkey on each record. This is a factually accurate tale of Romulus, the world's tallest donkey.

Romulus is 12 years old and 17 hands
At 5 foot 8 he’s taller than Oklahoma Sam
The world’s tallest donkey…
Pop music. Dance songs. Sub bass. Lovely ladies in Cornwall singing along. What more could you want?
lyrics
This is the least impressive dance song
You’ve heard out on the dance floor
But as you listen to it
You want MORE MORE MORE…
The last place you can go in any time zone is Howland Island.
Can’t get this out of my head
The last words that you said
Tried to make you stay
Still you went away
You think you understand
But you’re just a man
This thing is bigger…

Very quick to write and record. Basically done from start to finish in about an hour and a half (I look at the clock).
Despite it's brevity, there's quite a lot going on (especially in how exact I've tried to be with the harmonies, and double…
Written for the RPM2017 (album in a month) challenge.
The 70s vibe should be obvious, and this was written on electric piano, (unusually for me). The opening keys riff is one of the only moderately funky sounding things I can play. I am not…
Comments on Gary Fox's stuff
I think the last fifteen seconds could be different.

I'm glad you didn't forget this riff. It turned into a very nice song. ER
Very sweet song. I like that sorta stutter to the rhythm. great vocals.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!
Superlative stuff as usual, Gary. And of course your recording skills continue to amaze me!
great one. I must have missed this one GF. Catchy lil riff you've got there too.
Another gem of your great rocking style. You are very good, very good.
Yea, you have inspiration by the bucketload to pull a great song like this out of a tuning exercise. This is wonderful.
Fantastic! You really sing this well Gary.
Kicks ass! GREAT GF cut! w;-)

Damn... Love this song.
Comments made by Gary Fox
Very ethereal, nice one...
I love this song, Keith.
This is very cool and eclectic record. Nice work!
I want to see this song played live in a dark sweaty club.
Cool number, love the tone of it!
You should hear this in the cold wind of NH right now. It fits perfectly. Nice one!
Great song! I think it's time to take this album on the road.
I have to tell you, this is a great sounding record!
Dude, this is a kick-@$$ album...
I really like the interplay between the guitars in the left-right channels. Nice chorus hook!
Cool track! Need more instrumentals in my life...
And finally, the donkey song. I was getting worried.
I love this, except that I can't get it out of my head. I keep wanting...more
I really like this number.
Love the guitar work on this.
These are some great, trippy songs, my good sir. Love the twists...
Very cool, very, very cool.
Great guitar intro, cool song.
Holy...those harmonies...wow...wow.
1977! Dude, this is brilliant. Absolutely brilliant!
