You’re born alone and go to school for 12 years
Party on
Join the army or go to work
Pump some gas smoke some grass
Go to school or be a clerk
Party on

RPMers I salute you
Ice ice everywhere like a skating rink
I don’t wanna go nowhere
I don’t wanna think
I’ll just stay inside press record and sing
RPM is here
it’s 2am what else to do
Make up rhymes strum a chord
Find a good groove…
Made it through another year
Still don’t know why I’m here
Make some music drink some beer
Sounds alright to me
Loved ones leave
Friends come then go
Everything can change so quick
Don’t let the bullshit bring you down
Just enjoy this…

RPM day 2
Now I ain’t no groundhog baby
I can barely see my shoes
If I see a shadow it’s cos I’ve got the blues
If you want a weather forecast
I suggest that you watch the news
But I tell you something I can predict
There will be 6 more…

Some people measure things by inches and miles,
gallons and quarts and sometimes smiles, but I got a measure that I made up: I measure my orange juice by the "blub, blub, blub.".
Final version of this tune - voice and guitar, banjoe accompaniment
i'm still getting used to this new mic and finding my voice sounds different with or i'm singing differently because of it. So .. feedback appreciated, and if you like it…
I've noticed the Yeti has a lot of midrange, so I've been adjusting eq for that, like GN said. It's actually perfect for this style, type of song, sounds like an old 78, without the cracks and pops.
~Through the night, and darkness, we rush forward to the tops of the universe. What for we're?~
The original version of this song was composed, written and mixed on board of the night train to Berlin, in 2004. Here is an updated version number…
This is a song about finding momentary escape from the pain of loss.. and having it interrupted by the realisation that it's the anniversary of the day it all started;
Some days I get up
and I go to the park
and I sit in the dark
and I think…
This track is from the 1986 Scartaglen album "The Middle Path". The first tune "Jezaig" was composed by Breton musician Gilles Le Bigot. The second tune is one of the "Cantigas de Santa Maria" and is attributed to King Alfonso X of Spain

yeah when I first hear CV's tune I thought some Howlin Wolf or Tom Waits would work well over it, I just don't have the voice for it. Your version takes more of a Dr. John vocal tonality, which I like!
@captgene: I just changed strings with the Elixir Resonator pack, which uses heavier gauge, but busted the G right off the bat, not impressed but pretty good tone on the remaining 5. Some sliders have told me they don't care for the tone of coated strings. I should prob. start a thread in the forum for this..
THE INAPPROPRIATE QUESTION - Capo @ 2 to sing
G C/G bass
She said, “I can see that you’re hurting,
And I can see that you are wearing a ring.
Perhaps an inappropriate question,
but I’d like to ask you something.
Soon I will be a grand…

You're the man! Very touching tribute to one of the tonefreak tribe. :) BW
Nice tune! :) BW
Cool jazzy tune. :) BW
Groovy!
It's got a nice beat. Salty and sweet. :) BW
I don’t recognize the tune but I enjoyed it
It is . . . dreamy :) BW
Good slapping and popping and slide work. :) BW

Kavin, I'm very happy for you, the mother and father, and all the rest of the family! :) BW
This is just lovely.
Now, this had me at the opening notes.
Yup. Let the groove begin.
OMG - this is bliss through headphones.
Well done rock n roller :) BW
A nice kind of baroque style little ditty with a clever title. :) BW
A nice heartfelt ballad. But I do hope there will be many more good days in the future. :) BW
Surely it can’t be the last lovely song
At least
Groovy

Seamless. Mysterious and quirky. Great colabb.
4 blubs a day does a body good JMT!
Synthy goodness nice long track.
this has a Dixie Dregs vibe that I like.

please stop...nobody here likes this shite
thanks for checking out JD, that's a real oldie! But a personal fave I still play live everytime.
Very nice. I'd like to borrow your orchestra!
Simply great! Thanks for sharing.
delightfully idiosyncratic!
This is pure winter morning bliss, Doug. RPM on, bro!
dang your good. Playing guitar and flute at the same time! :)
@jarvis: to insert picture, in this case I pasted html embed code from photobucket in the about window.

Good one, JMT.
Just heard this over on the RPM site. Badass harp, slide gtr and song!
I don't know what these chants are or where from, but I'm loving it.
I just realized, at about the one minute mark, you can just hear my bud Charlie tinkling on a toy piano offstage.
