A fingerpicky tune from the old days.
The different guitar voices (nylon string classical and Guild 12-string) were attained using a Line 6 Variax 600 modeling guitar. Great for recording, but I returned it because of some minor issues.
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…
Hey, cool! I do a version of this but I am afraid to record slide guitar. George did it so clean and smooth. I may record it one day and give you a heads up. My takes is a little different but the same too.

my rpm #5,, it will eventually become a part om my themed cd "the dark doll house" a somewhat sad place where memories of childhoods past echo through empty rooms,, the two other pieces thus far in this theme are the 3 mov of my piano sonata…
One more instrumental before I move on to the vocals...
I came up with this riff one hazy night when I was 19. I'm in my 30s now, and rather more sober, but I still like playing this. It felt good to finally flesh it out.
“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.

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.

Like listening to some STCFTHOTS-PF stuff. Damn, master guitar work here.
This comes together pretty good...the guitar stands out beautifully.
Ooooh! Nice, sweet, interesting, tasty! Groovy -- Rock on!
Does have a real 60's jazz club sound. A good thing that is. .
Now isn't that some gorgeous picking?!
Superb
Excellent. Great execution on the guitars, great delivery with the vocals. Beautiful, moving, touching, tasteful. Fabulous.
Skillful, meditative, gorgeous, sweet, sad, moving, dreamy, tasteful, delightful.
Has a Beatnik sound I thought was lost and forgotten early on in the '60s -- very cool mixture of sounds. Rock on, y'all!
I was expecting some wild fuzz guitar and when I heard that acoustic I fell over… in delight. Well done. Your voice is suited to this song I think.
Hey, cool! I do a version of this but I am afraid to record slide guitar. George did it so clean and smooth. I may record it one day and give you a heads up. My takes is a little different but the same too.
Came by for another drop of this psychedelic number, done with some fine ass acoustic picking -- crazy good! Rock on!
You got a damn good handle on that slide, Kavin! Great job. Smooth vocals!
Very unique . . . and beautiful, almost tranquil.
Kavin, you amaze me! w;-)
Trippy, far out, and groovy -- Rock on!
You've got a great handle on that guitar!
Very cool!

I like how you do your harmonies. Give those guys a raise.
This came together real nice.
Fun ride. Nice drums.
Yeah that's real nice. Missed it the first time around. More of that Jason!
Nice mood piece here, good.
Are you really who you think you are? What is "reality"? Love me some PDK, and this is a great soundtrack.
Wistful. Plaintive. Looking through my own empty rooms.
Played like a real Texas guitar slinger!
Thanks for the comments C, and welcome to the club! Keep on with the great songs!
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?
