Kavin some lovely stuff and nice edits, transitions. Like the distortion quality on the near ending acoustic and electric blend before your finish. Congrats on a good month of dailies. Impressed.
Would love listening to this live in a summer night, sat on a rocking chair, under a porch, sipping a local booze or a cold beer! :-)
Very nice, Kavin!!
I've never been to Amarillo
Butchaknow
One day I will-o
I wont say no
If you ask me to stay-o
In Amarillo
Oh yes I will-o
Oh yes I will-o...
I've had my fill o'
Amarillo
Left behind my satin pillow,
I ran over an armadillo
But…

Track 2 for the RPM 2015 album Cold Ground Was My Bed
"Yesterday was a den of sorrow, today is a bright mystery, the future a dim dream or ancient history"
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.
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…

Very soothing - thank you.
Beautiful playing...love that guitar tone. It has a Santana/Bloomfield quality. Awesome!
Love it Kavin.......
beautiful!
Would love listening to this live in a summer night, sat on a rocking chair, under a porch, sipping a local booze or a cold beer! :-) Very nice, Kavin!!
That's a tuning I've never tried. I must have a go at it. Very nice!
Nice! I see the panhandle at dusk!
Aha! I see the reference to the uke! Cool!!!!
Cool sound! Sounds like some influences of India... Mandolin?
I love this! Great fun & lyrics.
Gorgeous.
Great tube tone . line 6 Helix ? I been on the Bias fx kick , love it. Rock on.
Reminds me of my "YOOT". Sounds like a fun experiment.
Nice effects on the strat!
Like it. What is Crosby tuning?
Nice very cool
..and he was right about the Esus2 chord from the train whistle. Amazing.
Fabulous vocal & an interesting percussive . I love this! How did I miss it it? One of your best Kavin!
Sweet! Especially that section about 2 minutes in

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?
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.
