We all know someone like this. Sometimes I'm like this. Anyway, recorded using my Epiphone semi-hollowbody. I love the gtr sound on this one. Again, it's older, so the sonic quality isn't anywhere near what I do now.

Nothing like a good gtr riff to inspire a song. This one is backwards in a way. The first verse has a lot of layers, the second one is much cleaner...
I had fun doing the backing vox on this one, it was the first day I really had my voice back…
So, I get this e-mail from a friend who had gone to NYC for a conference. At this conference she meets the love of her life, and the weekend turns into a steamy one spent locked in a hotel room. Slight problem...she was already married. She didn…
Well, this is why I don't play drums. It's the best Moon I could pull off. I keep hammering the gtr riff over and over, but it's because it was so much fun to play. Its structure is a little too meandering in hindsight, but oh well. For whatever…
The riff came to me in a flash and was probably the first time I recorded an idea on my (then) new micro-cassette player. It was supposed to be one of those spoken songs, complete with 70's backing vocals. I don't know if I pulled it off, but…

So, I start playing my Guild acoustic. However, the strings were new and had gone all slackish, meaning down a few tones. I liked what it sounded like and took them all off. I then restrung the gtr with super heavy guage acoustic strings. I then…

I almost thought I knew it, so very close to space and time
it almost makes me lose my mind
2 seconds closer to the, the moment fleeting thoughts are mine
so far away, so close
grasping, the memory, the secret, divine
I never knew that someday…
Hey AFC, nice work on this one. I like the melody on it. You have a different sound than most of the things I have been hearing lately, different in cool, vibey sort of way. Thanks for posting this. Cheers, Gary
An RPM 2009 song. Well, this was a personal story for me that came about when your past intersects (briefly) with the present.
Lyrics:
20 years running through time and I remember
all the magic lines
that in our younger days
we drew…
This was a total experimental piece about just making a soundscape. I played instruments I don't really play, and put some thru different effects just to experiment. The Bushisms add some color to what would otherwise just be some noise. I…
This is a live recording of a set I did with guitarist Mike Levine on a University of New Hampshire radio show. This is one of the 'songs' we did. It is a 5-tune Irish fiddle set that was previously done by the great Irish fiddle player Martin…
the first multi track piece that I actually finished "in the box" in Cubase. An ambient kinda thing that grew out of playing around with the Line 6 DL4. Not sure I like the bow parts, but I may re do it later
The varying parts in this are tasty. Is it e-bow by chance, or volume pedal? Or is it simply that you play the gtr far better than I could ever hope to? ;)
First draft.
Dedicated to my mother on her birthday.
In the outro: Trombone, Horns, Clarinets, Mouthpiece buzz by Andy Hentz (arrsuarez) and organic drum related sounds by Glu.
A grief song. You know this place. If you don't then move on while you still can. Seriously. Don't click ..
This is a tidied up version, I managed to get rid of some of th noise and rebalance the vocals 18/3/09
Damn. The intro gtr, it's tone, what a great sound. It sounds like an old recording. I like how you left the ambient noise with it. What a great recording.
This was the first time I'd fired up my telecaster and amp for a recording and it felt like sitting in Sun Studios or something. Amazing sound after playing just acoustic instruments for a year. It's the first take and I loved it!
This is now…
White Light was written in June along with 10 other "Off the cuff" tunes. Just before the great flood in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Our house was flooded and slowly being rebuilt. This is 4th of the 10 to be recorded.
This is from our album, "When I Was Your Age," recorded entirely in the month of February for our third year participating in the RPM Challenge. "When I Was Your Age" is a collection of 13 songs looking back at when we were kids.

i am thinking about words tonight
they can be hard as nails
they-can be as shapeless as water
they can break your heart
they can hang like a chain
hold you up for years
cause you to think twice
take away your fears
you are falling in love…
I heard a story about you
I didnt want it to be true
But it felt like it might
You, well it was all about you
and how the things that you do
Seem strangely undone
And life doesnt help out the weak
A lifetime tends to bring you some…
Comments on Gary Fox's stuff

While it's great hearing Bethan and Tess fawn over you, I must say, this is a great track by itself. I love the keys and the slide work.

Nice Textures...Cheers Glu!
Great song, I like the sound of the singer's voice.
This is a great collection of songs. I love the close-up, warm sound of everything.
I always love songs about the interwebs.
Great feel on this one. It's raining here in NH, this piece makes it feel more like Dún Aonghasa.
Tone...I love tone...The bass notes are vibrating my desk...
Great song Colin, great song.

Great feel, great tone. Cheers, G

This is a great song. I like the blend of instruments and the lyrics are brilliant. Great tune Gumbo.
Cool tone, I like the riff and the laid back delivery.
I like the cool, dark reverbed gtr in this. This gives the song a nice eerie effect.
Great harmonies and melody lines. I really like the seriousness of the music and the opposite with the lyrics. Very hard to pull off well, and you do.
Talkbox?!? Excellent...and very, very clever. Blistering solos and keep hammering the riffs...Nice one guys.
Solid. Very, very, very good song.
I like this Tim, I can actually hear the sun coming up in this song.
Another solid track. Good stuff Alex.
