Day 28
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.
Final version
Guitar, mandolin and voice.
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.

Final version
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.
1 more to mix

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.
track nine, or at least…

Inspired by a line in one of the many books I read while laid up with a recent back injury.
Song of The Raven Queen

As The Fool set sail in an old milk pail
To fetch the Moon's reflection
The Mountains stood as of course they should…
I thought it would be fitting to post this today, on Memorial Day, as a tribute to my friend William Easley, as well as all who have fought and died in wars, American or otherwise.
Sometime back in the 60's William (Billy from here on) heard…
I needed a place to host a work in progress where it wouldn't be obvious so you might have found a secret mix!!!
So that 4 minute song with the slide guitar that no-one listens to is gone ;-)
K.G. made gold with this one. words are oh so good. J.H. broke away from his bass and added a very nice banjo part. i did a little clapton bending . i think this is a magical moment for our band. we all came together at the end and did it! i hope…
words by The Goods,E.G. & K.G. . music by me M.F. . our preferred rpm track . this song is about a coward and what he has coming, based on an assault of one of our loved ones. you can hear the anger. that is cool!
At one point, I had a version recorded with much better guitar -- at least I thought I did -- but I can't find it now...
Another one of those tunes that kept growing after the demo was laid down, this song now has twice as many verses as you…
I may have said this before about your stuff but .. I love it when a song performance just grabs hold of time and puts the brakes on. Life goes by too fast sometimes. This is a wonderful antidote.
This is a remix of an improvised track I did for our first RPM album. For this new mix, I got rid of the vocals & added a most excellent electric guitar part by our good friend, Chris Mitchell. He listened to the track just once and proceeded…
a working track.
i dip in once in a while and scrub this bit, file back that bit.
let me know what yous think! good/bad criticisms.
also the title is lame. that will change.
Left here smilin' but you came back mean
Ain't no need to tell me, I know where you've been
Ya tell me you love me, an' you really care
an' if you just had some more, you'd be happy to share
You came back wantin' once you'd lost in all…
The passport, acapulco and finding out about the affair with Reg was the final straw ithe saga of Desirea and Reg is finally over Reg has drawn a line in the sand and stepped over it. It over and done he washes his hands of her. So he went out…
This was written and recorded on 19th September 05
aka International Talk Like A Pirate Day 2005 ( a wet afternoon as I recall) and is posted here so you start to get the hint.
Aarr! Me hearties, tis the day you've all been waiting for this long year, fast approaching off the starboard bow. Break out the grog, Mr mate, and accompany me in a song if you will. And the Plank for anyone who don't sing in tune!
There's a youtube for this now and not a minute too soon!
Field recording from SE Peru. Came across this pissed off spider monkey and decided to record a few minutes of this vocal bout. I'm not sure what elicited such a vocal temperament, and of course, at the time, I was worried it was a large cat…
Sometimes you need to stay up late to try to force yourself to dream.
When I wrote this song (and started singing it a bit), I knew that my voice could never give it what it needed... So I turned it over to one Sister Savage... And she did…
I unleash my secret weapon!
Guest vocalist Shaka brings the icing to this rather haunted version of the first chapter of Cold Mountain by Charles Frazier!
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.

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!

Love the guitar and an excellent vocal .... What a beautiful melody.....
Comments made by Gumbo

That's the stuff!
haha - so much for secret - i forgot you'd get an email any critiscisms of the mix gratefully received!
another faved track. Nice to hear you guys cutting loose live.
Beaut. Could have come right off of Berlin.
Right on! I got a pistol for you!
good stuff - especially the vocal tone - lovely!
I may have said this before about your stuff but .. I love it when a song performance just grabs hold of time and puts the brakes on. Life goes by too fast sometimes. This is a wonderful antidote.
Beautiful! You've got such a mellow feel to this.
Lovely tone on that guitar!
sounds good to me - it's interesting the way you play with the timing of the banjo (?) through the first minute
What a GREAT VOCAL!!!
Stunning, Reg and Reg.
that's beaut, Colin. didn't notice any mistakes, though, can you throw up another version with something more glaring in it ;)
