Anyone else still writing songs?
this is the result of trying to listen to too many mixes in one day. Sometimes it's just easier to record something else.

this doesn't fit with my rpm project AT ALL so i may not use it but i like the way it came out. I recorded the music for Bethan Mathis' RPM project but she didn't have time to use it (her album is…
I'm really glad you left this on your RPM album. I think it matches more than you were initially suggesting, in fact I love how it very gently nudges the outer border of the album towards something ethereal, while still being of the same voice.
I feel like I've long been repeating myself concerning your songs: blah blah...great recreation...blah blah blah...recording is great...blah blah blah...I want to listen to this all the time...blah blah blah.

An unaccompanied song about bedtime. Not a lullaby though. Oh no!
What does anyone think of the 'cat's moustache' line - it seems like that's a make or break call right there and i like it when i read it but it's hard to sing without…
Another example of your perfect vocal performance for the material. Another gem off this album (well, the whole thing is quite a gem, but that's another story).
I'm finally happy with this track - v1 was too much of a nothing song and it's been bugging me all the way to the last night of the challenge.

Every so often when i'm thinking of something else a western song pops up as if there is a soundtrack to a movie running in the back of my head. I might have to gather em all up into a playlist some day.

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.
When I was small I wanted to be a girl and I didn't even know that was possible! Imagine if I grew up 30 years later - perhaps I would have had a very different life.

Comments on Gumbo's stuff
Ok, last word from me on this, as I'm sure it's getting old by now: that is one helluva great album.
I'm really glad you left this on your RPM album. I think it matches more than you were initially suggesting, in fact I love how it very gently nudges the outer border of the album towards something ethereal, while still being of the same voice.
I feel like I've long been repeating myself concerning your songs: blah blah...great recreation...blah blah blah...recording is great...blah blah blah...I want to listen to this all the time...blah blah blah. :)
Another example of your perfect vocal performance for the material. Another gem off this album (well, the whole thing is quite a gem, but that's another story).
Great stuff even better second time around. A perfect guitar vocal mix.......
Ooh this is purely lovely, great guitar playing!
LMAO - you're right, reg! I thought it was easy to play!
Everyday...........
Blue suede dice excellent
Another goodie
What Reg said.......and I may add one more.......zang....yeah this has zang..............Great track, real authentic sounding, great recording, very clear.
excellent vocal again......plenty of zing and zest
Almost perfect. I love your simple approach, it creates such immediate sounding recordings. I wish I could restrain myself to do the same...
Simple, bare, and really good to listen to.
powerful chum
excellent. again. turnin pages myself so is well timed for me this.
Me and the missus likes this!
> What does anyone think of the 'cat's > moustache' line Love it!

Good solid album, and this is a cracking track!
This just came up on the Newfoundland Party feed. So catchy. Good job folks.

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 morning! it's a drizzly day here and this is perfect for dancing around the kitchen while the kettle boils 💖
Nice guitar crisp guitar. Is this the harmony again?
What a cool reggae vibe. Sharp!
Nice. I like this guitar!
This is great, Mikey. Nice heavy groove, catchy melody. This and Midnight are the standout tracks.
Ha! Yes. My voice was shot on this one but I wanted the character to sound old so it felt appropriate :D Thanks for listening
This is great. Do you all have a version posted?
Lovin' this one too. I'm glad your alt sensibilities were unsuppressible!
Yes! This!!
