Expiration date
A rough month for rock stars
All the good ones are leaving
It's about that time
Just the songs remain and
Public grieving
I read the news today oh no
When you died they wrote you up
Counted your…
A special someone mentioned Truly,Madly,Deeply which I guess is a pop song. RPM Challenge 2016
True as stars shine in the sky
So certainly that I need not ask why
As honest as a heart that's found its key
And unlocked secrets I never could…

acapella vocal loop
In the bleak midwinter
Frosty wind made moan
Earth stood hard as iron
Water turned to stone
Snow had fallen
Snow on snow on snow
In the bleak midwinter
Long, long ago

Finally, the finishing touches seem to be put on this three-year-old song thanks to some very talented people.
The band is:
Liam (age 13 at the time of recording) on drums
A Girl Named Sam (she's no kid!) with the backing vocals
Genevieve…
Sank a solid 17.5 hours into this one, so there won't be a complete album out of this 24 hour day.
Had the structure floating around for a year; this is my first stab at it. There are definitely huge revisions in store.
It seems a lot of you record with open mics and can relate. I record 1 track at a time with usually 4 or 5 tracks. So, Im only asking for about 15 minutes of Silence...IS THIS TOO MUCH TO ASK??? Anyway, my house is so loud, I get a lot of bloopers…
What's to say? That we actually have anything to do with what our government does? Ha! Even Woody Guthrie knew the truth. They just leave that verse out of his "anthem".

Easy come, easy go. Nothing lasts for long

Time to upload an oldie from February - see the video
Stratocastor copy from a kit with lace pickups x 5 through guitar rig 4 against Norm Harris' Illesa in the Pantry!

dancing in a blue black sky
outside my piano room, it called to me
this tune is a one take playful moment, loosely based on the main theme from the 2nd mov of my piano sonata,,, i only toned down about…
While I'm certain there are those who may be growing weary of scratching, I couldn't resist posting this great mix by Alister Flint, who is truly a master mixologist extraordinaire - he didn't even have individual tracks to work with! Al was too…
After writing this song about our newly adopted dog, I asked Kavin if he like to play some slide guitar, knowing that he would come up with something terrific... I just had no idea how terrific.

I've been noodling about with these chords for what feels like an eternity. They just are telling me what they want to be when they grow up... so I thought it's just time to record them and maybe solicit some kind of feedback.
Since I was…
Nice chord progs there. Adding this to a long list of alonetone songs I'd like to add something to, if I can keep from ruining it. Then again it might best be left alone, with it's airy openness.
First done by Dock Boggs back in the 20s, it's a great piece of melancholy parafunalia. Eerie to think it's a suicide note and reassuring to know he was still a tough old bird 40 years later.

Comments on kavin.'s stuff
Absolutely great song-writing. I won't say who this reminds me of (because everyone hates that, Neil Young, cough) but it sounds like a classic.
...and this one. :) Cheeky and potent. Perfect.
Faved right off the bat - I've heard this one several times on the RPM site. An absolute delight.
Sigh...just great playing. Total class. MOODY but total class. You're the guy I want on my porch swing juz playing away all day long.
What an opener... Love the bitter sweet melody and the space here. Those light touches are superb.
@fallingupart you are correct sir, 808 drum machine in Logic, played live because I was too lazy to sequence a track!
What's supplying the percussion? It sounds as if it's an old analog drum machine, but played live?
Dig it great vocals and mix
Kavin that's beautifully played and sung and spoken. Love the feel and the last line!
Instant fave!
Fits right in with my spaghetti western movie music. We should call Tarantino and hook up :)
Thanks dude. Remind me of my expiration date. Hell, you even put my name in it :)
Beautiful, great playing.
Beautiful Kavin!
Very, very nice!!! I can see myself sat in a high place over Texas (Big Bend?), staring at the horizon and listening to this music!
Kavin beautiful interpretation and choice! Going on your RPM?
Great tune Amigo!
Real nice tune K. Am diggin' it.
cool ash can slides.
Sweet tune. I finally got my variax guitar yesterday.
Comments made by kavin.
I love the feel and energy of this kind of music. Makes me wish I knew more Spanish.
Great song, great duet. I just got back from there and this sure hit the spot!
Pretty good as is! Like all the tuned percussion/organ interplay.
kickass cover!!! Doors Rock!
Appropriately, a blues song, I can relate.
thanks, yawl. @Richard: the pic was taken at Spider Rock overlook in Canyon de Chelly in the Navajo reservation, Arizona.
Excellent new songs up JMT, esp. this 'un. I look forward to the day when we can jam again.
Very cool, inventive stuff.
Ahhh another series of sputtering, glitchy noise pieces. Love it chimps!
I missed the eclipse the other morning, but this more than makes up for it. Beauty.
Great to see yawl here!
luvadatdubmon!
Agreed on all three points. A cool jam!
That was fun, thanks Keith. Now I wanna go out and adopt a puppy!
Successful play! I just finished watching 2001 a space odyssey (again) and this piece would have been perfect in the soundtrack. I wants a GR-20 now.
For some reason this is not playing for me on the pc or mac....

From the samples I've been listening too, DB was a monster banjo picker, among other things.
Gotta put a plug in for Darrin Kobetich, check him out on myspace and cdbaby. And at RPM Challenge!
Thanks for resurrecting this tune. Well done. Will have to look up some more of Boggs' work.
