RPM 2024 track 7
A good friend of mine has a Samoyed. This is a song about him.
I was hoping for a kiiind of Cheap Suit Serenaders feel. Acoustic guitar, a 1920s tenor banjo and a brand new mandolin.
Ahh like a lovely cup of tea. I was thrilled to bits when you also signed up this year, and although I failed miserably, you knocked it out of the park...again. Thanks for giving me more breezy music to laugh at the world by. Next year, let's do it again. Any physical CDs this year??
Brilliant song - and you make it all sound so effortless. Fresh, cool, quirky (I'm told by my teenage daughters that "quirky" no longer means what I think it means, but they're wrong), just g-o-o-d m-u-s-i-c.

This gets a strange emotional reaction from me because I can't imagine you to be anything other than mischievous and irrepressible. But...this is Americana Tango...and I love both. Weirdly though, this takes me to the leafy walkways of Rome and now I want a cappuccino and to send you flowers.
Dean Martin probably wants to record this. I can hear a version with the Hollywood treatment in my head. But this is cooler. You infuse fresh air in everything you record.
I'm a complete idiot when it comes to all things midi related. Recently got myself a midi keyboard though and came up with this short piece just messing with sounds in Proteus. Really looking forward to the possibilities of combining this sort…
Okay, this is the "finished" version...
Lyrics:
I’ve been meaning to get drunk and try to forget you.
Instead, I’m finding new ways to just upset you.
Baby, I just can’t stay in my mind,
Unintended and unsung, just like all the bad bad…
A solar flare is the ejaculation of energy from the north pole or the south pole of this super concentrated point which has turned itself into a black hole because it has so much energy that it’s sucking in everything around it at such an exponential…
Now ye sons of the kraaken, let's get to some honest pillaging, shall we? Aaaarh!
The devil is an idle jest compared to what's within this chest
No hearts more black than ours they say
trust your own hide to be waterproof only
else they…
Now ye sons of the kraaken, let's get to some honest pillaging, shall we? Aaaarh!
The devil is an idle jest compared to what's within this chest
No hearts more black than ours they say
trust your own hide to be waterproof only
else they…
Here now, there be treasure to hide and we'll bury it full deep in the earth, and ye with it if you tell the tale. To the shovels lads, and dig down.
International Talk Like A Pirate day is upon us, so swab yer decks and break open the Rum…
Comments on Gumbo's stuff
Beautiful, your voice is unique
Thanks for listening, Sister. It means a lot to be back and have you hear it. Yes! Here's to next year!
Curiously, I can hear Dean having a go at this. Not the orchestra, I can't do orchestras in my head, but Deano? Yes indeed!
Leafy walkways, cappucino, and a need to send flowers is exactly the feel I was going for!!
I'm so relieved that it's recognisably a tango :-D
Marz, we were chatting about the pros and cons of including drums and I said I would include at least one this time around. This is it!
Ha! Opener? This one nearly didn't get included for being 'different'. :-D Shows you how much I know!
Thanks folks. What does 'quirky' mean these days?? Do I really want to know? To me it is high praise!
Yep it does help to be able to picture a samoyed running about ;-)
Good Stuff!

Moody, Wolfy, Sliiick. (Album opener vibes, imho)

Absolute classic Gumbo. Light and breezy, but with a bittersweet (dark even) undertone...how do you do that!?
Super sweet! Love the mandolin and you definitely achieved the feeling you were aiming for. *googles Samoyed*
Oooh yes!! Sultry! Rhythmic! Loving all the layers, all the twists and turns.
Oof yeah, more tango! Lovely harmonies and dreamy guitar.
Mischievous and irrepressible. The prosecution rests.

or perhaps 'Zappa-esque' is a less obscure comment ;-)
Bizzarre! Frank? Bizzarre? *grin*
something about that 'waay overseas' is just perfect spot on
I enjoyed this kirk - it's great to hear a bit of funk in the mix
it sounds effortless, Kavin., but there's some lovely interplay going on in this. Very nice indeed.
I always love the soul in your vocals, David.
this is pretty groovy, too
You're telling it like it is there, mmi
Damn you're on a roll
Perfect - like a cross between Led Zeppelin and Leonard Cohen!
I'm sold - my new favourite band - when's the world tour?
How come i haven't heard your stuff before - no wait I probably have during the RPM mayhem - but this is great I might have to fave everything you do.
Groovy, Kemo Sabé
Gorgeous - and it has that 'Jungle Book' vibe - perfect!
another stunner! lovely lift to this.
Yeah this one came out better of the two Pirate songs this year. Kind o reminds me of the more 'raucous' tracks by the Kingston Trio.
LOL there's still time, laahd. Man the Rum and break out the cannons !!
Aaarhh now there ye have it, by the Beast's Barnacles, and your day will go swimmingly, so it will. Breakout the RUM! And the coffee!!
Never heard nuthin like it neither. Wicked!
thank you - I enjoyed listening to these today.
