Fiddling around with an open G tuning and I found the chord that 'Prodigal Son' is based on (a Robert Wilkins tune from the 30s made famous by the Stones) so I had a play around with it, stopped for dinner and came back and wrote the lyrics…
This is a bonus track as it didn't make the album
For those of you who know my stuff - does this sound like it works? or is it too much like filler - the vocals are effected, there's a drum loop - the guitar is just chopped out of a jam - i…
A fun childrens tune from 2008, it really ought to be a hot fiddle tune but i don't have a hot fiddle.
Old fox coming down the road now Bunny Bunny
Run Run Bunny Bunny Go
White tails bobbing in the air there funny bunny
Go Go Bunny Bunny Run…
Aarrhhh ye scurvy sons (and daughters) of sea-rats, the pesky pluckers have been at it again.
Pin back yer lug-holes or it's the plank ye'll be hoping for!
This is my 2007 Pirate Day song, written and recorded September 19th 2007. I like the innuendo, but maybe it's too subtle - nobody else seems to notice ;~)

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…
I'm wishing someone can go for a ride

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…
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…
RPM CHALLENGE 2024.

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!
Comments on Gumbo's stuff
:))
...gotst'likzitz!!!!!!! yUp!
thank you Guest! it's an interesting dichotomy for sure. The words are by Cave Street, btw - check out his/their music here at Alonetone
Frank Zappa once said - "You Are What You Is" It's unnerving but true and as Gumbo says "Memories Will Never Die" - Great Song!
I would Gumbo, but it's that Sister Planet woman, keeps pushing me out of the way!
Alright, yeah!
Just a complete pleasure to listen to!
Love it...whatta sound, a sing-a-long of the best kind! Quality stuff.
Excellent.
i cant wait to hear what it sounds like
Really like this one, Stu!
Wow! This song is now stuck in my head!
This track is great! Excellent voice!
Brill!!!! It shivers me timbers
yarrrrrrr! walk de plank.
Well done Mr. Gumbo.
HAHA, I need you!!! GUMBO!!!!!!!!!!
Hooky :-) yes lol - is that a pun or a double entendre? If anyone needs me I'll be in the Brig.
Ha! Brilliant! Great playing and fab vocals - just love your mischievous tones. Hooky (see what I did there?) and cunning!
Well- Ye may be a scurvy bilge rat, but ye writes a damn fine pirate tune!
Comments made by Gumbo
Good to hear, I mean :D
Love it. The harmonies, the laconic delivery, the hip-hop breaks. Wonderful. Good to you guys again :)
Oh yes! Added to the Piratical Playlist!
"Don't say Nobody. I do" This is so beautiful.
Amen, brother.
Such a propulsive groove! Shake out your cobwebs! PLAY LOUD!!! DANCE!!
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!

Bebop eat your heart out! :-)
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
