Thinking about and inspired a lot by trees lately. That, and the excellent film Rivers and Tides.

Until the day is done
Dance with the wind

I have aversion I did of this one on my track list. I did not really get it the way I wanted and the vocals are super weak. I left out the slide part but am planning on redoing it one day and will do that lick next time.
What with all the great Zep covers posted by Tworegs and Chris Vaisvil, here's mine, I enlisted the vocal of the man himself, thanks Reg! Also note my new fretless strat as second guitar here.
“While I Wait”: (Richard Hardrick)
I hear my steps from echoes
down in the street of time
van años en lo incierto
outside the shadow line
Silence in an empty sky
while I wait
God has not revealed yet
the truth of signs outside…
#4 for the RPM Challenge.
Have you heard this melody before? This is one of those where I wonder if I've unconsciously "borrowed" something from someone. Translation: the Fly Boat, like the tourist boats that ply the river Seine and their bright…
1pm on Sunday. I'm not back in work until Tuesday. We've just had a delicious roast dinner that I cooked, and the glass of wine we had with it is helping it go down. As a crisp February sun twinkles through the window I realise that for the first…
I was asked to come up with some gritty microtonal guitar. This is an out-take from that session.
17 Indulgences is a solo guitar piece in 17 edo featuring acoustic feedback, echo and a bluesy sort of point of view but does wander here and…
Another cut from the 1988 cassette tape of a live performance by Scartaglen on the NPR show Mountain stage. This time some tunes from County Kerry.
Kirk Lynch- Uilleann pipes and whistle. Becky Pringle- Fiddle. Mike Dugger- Fiddle and guitar…
Sometimes society gets wrapped up in their own routine, failing to notice the sheer beauty that surrounds them on a daily basis, until a moment of chance changes everything.
Some reflections after recording this song:
1. Mic positioning for a live take can drive you crazy
2. The lowest note I can comfortably sing is an A
3. A tortured soul can somehow write an amazing love song
4. I still have much to learn

Depeche Mode lite
I was going to hire Meatloaf for the ending but it turns out he will NOT work for pancakes... which is what I had heard.
This is one of the prime examples of (early on) being WAY more ambitious than what my ability…
You're right it is really good. That drum track is a little overwhelming in the mix at first tho. I like the guitars, stream of conciousness lyrics, Lennon-like vocal and the Miles Davis title check.
OCCUPY 0112
It's a highland I call my land
It's an island in the sun
No matter how you measure it
It's always number one
If I had a house to occupy
I'd occupy my wish
But to have a house to occupy
I must defy the rich
We buy the…
This song was inspired by a long walk....
Lyrics:
Down by the river, down by the shore we go
The moon above cast a beautiful glow
We walked around talking through the night
I can’t help but think how it felt right
Hey Constance, don’t you feel…
Cool. I might be tempted to try this. Maybe a stupid question here but couldn't you accomplish the same thing just tuning all the strings a semitone flat (or sharp)?
Comments on kavin.'s stuff
Lovely piece. Nice to hear your voice (speaking as someone who will never sing :)
Beautiful track, beautiful lyrics. I love it. w;-)
Wow
Cool tune , had my follow button off of ya some how.
Missed it too, great tune,.
Fabulous stuff! Can't believe I missed this!
i really wish i had smart comments to make about your song titles, like you do with mine, but I'll settle for favourite-ing it :D
I have aversion I did of this one on my track list. I did not really get it the way I wanted and the vocals are super weak. I left out the slide part but am planning on redoing it one day and will do that lick next time.
Really nice!
Here's to keeping that resolution!
Groovy as hell!
I'd take guitar lessons from you. Beautiful. So beautiful.
Thanks for reminding me about this tune. Haven't thought of it in years. Nice!
okay, that gave me good chills :) so hopefully I won't have to turn to the sleeping pills ;)
I got a bit of a case of Insomnia these past few days/weeks. Cheers, always graceful and mysterious sounding Kavin - Bill Ramsey
And how did I miss this? Beautifully played as always! w;-)
Can I fave this like, 1,000 times? I. Love. This. w;-)
lush. nice work kavin.
What a fantastic version - great performances all around!
excellent, great version and great singing
Comments made by kavin.
Nice proggy/metal vibe going on here Rick.
Thanks MTC! I'm relieved!
Welcome to Alonetone Daniel! Pick on!
Wonderful! Glad you are back!
Sweet acoustic tone!
Yesh! Definitely a candidate for the IF RPM mash album.
Liking the drone and general guitar mayhem.
Supergreat. That's one tight band.
This makes me feel sad. That's a good thing.
Nice ambient and great album. I came to IA through his novels, not so much his short stories. One of the SF masters indeed!
You're on a roll with these JT covers. Wond'ring Aloud next maybe?
Great versh. I'd like more details on the mic placement. Are you just using one mic? More is better when recording acoustic.
You're right it is really good. That drum track is a little overwhelming in the mix at first tho. I like the guitars, stream of conciousness lyrics, Lennon-like vocal and the Miles Davis title check.
Picturing JMT in a kilt.
Very nice indeed!
Like the crystal acoustic tone and space there.
Your experiments with pitch/tuning always fascinate.
Great song and delivery. I could imagine Van the Man doing this one.
Unplanned jam, the best kind!
