Again i'd love some feedback
I like the feel and the mix
do the lyrics work?
recorded t'night in an hour after trying all day to get the verse lyrics rammed into another tune
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…

Dang, everyone except Rob (and Laura) (and me) liked the previous version! (Cupid's Own Knife)
Only i did this with the lyrics so maybe one can be a bonus track ...
aargghh ... why didn't i write a *different* song?
Anyone read Ink Exchange by Melissa Marr - my daughter lent it to me - teenage Faery novel about addiction - pretty creepy at times.
This is the one act musical version.
I wanted a 'deranged in our neighbourhood' kind of feel to it.

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
Very nice, this one.
i love this one - classic gumbo - you have a great sense for lyrics and melody
its 8am here in new hampshire, and i'm ready to party...
Sounds a real mix of Irish and country, foot tapping delightfulness! Do do do dododododo, Yay!
Ah, the mandolin? And I like the way the other voices join in.
Jess and I really like your album!
Awesome, singing is a little bit off mark, but i love it all the same.
These songs are all excellent this year. Great stuff.
Just listened to the entire album. Great work once again this year.
Love the lyrics and chorus, Gumbo, your delivery is superb.
No, I'm staying here and listening to this catchy little tune. Foot tapping splendour.
Oh, so fine indeed!
Hey Gumbo, pleased to hear yer still on top form. Lovely little tune this.
Great fun man! At least she didn't stick your toothbrush in the turpentine!
ARe any of us in our right mind?! Great vocals and tune!
I prefer this 'un (and I love t'other version too). Awright.
Well, I feel gooood.
I've enjoyed both versions of this song, but I think I prefer this one. Nice.
Whooo, party! Great fun, great track.
My foot is tapping big time. Fun lyrics, love the chorus.

Beaut. Could have come right off of Berlin.

good stuff - especially the vocal tone - lovely!

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 ;)
