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.
you are like the rain that falls with the snow
or is it the other way around
i dont know
all i know is i love you
and cant get above you
it is driving with no place to go
the muscle and the bone i find
that keeps my heart in line

Well I been playing the blues for so long
Kinda feel like playing jazz x 2
I dig the random instrumentation.

I been playing the blues for so long, make me feel like tryna rap x 2

Growing up is hard.
For everyone.
I once had a Facebook Friend named Shannon Elizabeth Hardwick. A poet, from Midland, Texas, doing advanced studies at Sarah Lawrence. She was so good she could write a hundred pages about how she couldn…

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!

Yes. This is the favorite. Great album man!
the river is now in my best of RPM09 itunes playlist! Incredible.
This is crazy good. I want to describe it as "angular melody". Does that make sense?
This, and Setting Sun, are favorites from yer album. Neat effect on that guitar.
Really like these solo guitar/voice tunes. It's hard to make that style compelling, but with your songwriting, you pulled it off!
Great songs. Great harmonies. Kind of Beach Boys meets Roger Waters.
I think this is my fave from your album. But then I'm a sucker for a good blues tune.
This one, and Feelings, are my favorites, good job Rick.
That's really great. Love the chord choices, harmonica, vocal, well..everything!
These lovely guitar soundscapes just keep coming. Great RPM album!
To key88: No overdubs. Thanks!
I'm diggin' these instrumentals!
Good work, JMT. Thank you.
I really like this instrumental version alot!
That's trippy cool.
Good to see you here! THanks for sharing the album. After the RPM dust settles I may have to spring for the hard copy.
Excellent. Glad you got yer platform up!
I'm really diggin these fingerstyle pieces.
Lovely vocal treatment. Just a tad long.
Yeah, that bum note was buggin me too.. ; -)
