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…
thanks Eeryone. And yes bethan it's the one string banjo. Which is a technique rather thann an instrument.
the hardest bit about 1 string banjo is not hitting the other strings lol

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…

Final version of this tune - voice and guitar, banjoe accompaniment
i'm still getting used to this new mic and finding my voice sounds different with or i'm singing differently because of it. So .. feedback appreciated, and if you like it…
I'm wishing someone can go for a ride
I'm wishing, I'm wishing you well
I've got something that's growing inside
I'm hoping, I'm hoping I'm well
we got no backbone
we got no soul
we've got no back-up plan
no one can know
why you go rushing…

we got no backbone
we got no soul
we've got no back-up plan
no one can know
why you go rushing…
Can you hide in happiness
Can you disguise the sadness in your voice
Could you play only major chords
Can you hide in happiness
Choose a part of you to show
And no one around you can know
Just how deep the scars go
Can you hide in…

WEST
I’m always walking backwards looking forwards
Dragged back to the past
You think i’ve got nothing left but for loving you
But babe thats not all I do
I dream when I am not…
RPM 2013
Searching for the words
To let you know
I consider you
A perfect work of art
Studying the curves
And the brush strokes
Every inch is
Easily my favorite part
Trying to be smooth
But you shake my spine
I am coloring outside…
Liner Notes
It was Valentines day so my muse was like 'yeah, you gotta write one'. The first verse popped into my head as I was working in the morning had the lyrics done in about 15 minutes with rough chords and stuff in about 10 more. Recorded…
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…
Back to enjoy this once again!
i just got home to find a mandolin on my doorstep ( i ordered it ;-) a bit of a risk but i needed it for RPM).
So it is most fortuitous to remember this magical recording. Hup!

Wanton domesticity starts to crack :) This is cool.
Good stuff
Love it! Opens a nice early Elvis Costello vibe, and the American Noir vocal is great.
Nize!
Rockin'
A lovely spacious feel. Puts me in mind of the Stone Roses a bit if they'd been mellower ..
Love it. Trusting your RPM is coming along with some inscrutable inner momentum.
I like this so much more than my version! How you doing these days, dude?
Good stuff!

Nice. A little glimpse into the comings and goings around the house!
I'm digging the poignancy here. Such a beautiful mournful vocal.
That's a groove
