one of those 'it was written even before i started' songs that just rolls out like magic
i tried to keep it simple so as not to destroy the vibe
first finished (if unmixed) track for RPM 2010

I really was carrying the ash from the fire out in the dark and looking at the stars and thinking how weird that was - to be throwing the ashes out in the middle of the night and pitch black and everything

This is utterly Sublime!
It seems to be one of those days where I Keep stumbling across Awesome Music!
I love the sparse Instrumentation, The driving beat, and the heartfelt Vocals!
Freaking Awesome!

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'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…
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.
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!
Comments on Gumbo's stuff
Sounds great man! Remember that other people only hear what you did. Not the stuff in your head that you didn't do!
lol - thanks Bethan sounds like i stopped re-recordng it at the right time
This is gorgeous, Gumbo. Love the steady beat, the sentiment and the vocals.
Well, it's not doing mine in. It's great!
haha - thanks, SS *grin*
I think you need a new head. Faved!
Really enjoying all of your RPM tune so far this year. This is another nice one.
What a sweet tune this is. Great job on the vocals and the whole mood of the song. Sweet!
Definitely has that magic vibe! Sweet song!!
Love the Ska Guitar and Quirky feel!!! It sets that storey telling feel So well! Another Awesome Track!

thanks everyone - it's good to get off the starting block at last
Sweeeeeeeeeeeet!
Keeping it simple worked real nice. This is a pleasant track. Good Job...

Lovely! Great dual vox especially.
Beautiful! I love the subtle, understated quality of the arrangement and recording. Unmixed? Sounds pretty close to me.
Great lyrics!
Oooo great song! I especially like the emotion in the singing during the last 30 seconds or so. Great work! Wish I could play a banjo too ;-)
Great song and recording!
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
