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…

Good version. I've heard so many covers of this, my favorite one is by New Riders of the Purple Sage. An old country classic originally done by Lefty Frizell but written by someone else.
Here's to Johnny!
Gifted composer. Talented musician. Supportive friend.
127 songs of posted AT rockin' goodness, posted from
2008-2011: the Stone Age!
Thanks for all of the tasty tunes Johnny.
5/4 120bpm.
Top Of The Pops circa 1972! Remember when all those bands in the early 70's where adding synth to every song but the lyrics meant something (sometimes)? Pure excitement, pure bubblegum, pure fun. Well, this is my offering and thanks to all of…
Keith Landry used his considerable vocal talents on this song, and he made a decent song sound great. I added one or two harmonies, but the lead vocals are his. I think he did a great job. What do you think?
ER
Wow! You did this album too? Proves your at least as crazy as I am! Very well done, not just synth pads and gobs of reverb, well thought out and arranged ambient compositions!
Finally going to end this RPM with a slop fest.
Pretty disgusted with my efforts. I did have some fun though.
I feel like I just gave birth to a full set of Ludwigs.
High gloss black of course.
For 2011 RPM Challenge album John the Resonator
A Sword and Sorcery parody. With Elvis.
Daughter Brit sang the vocal in the middle part.
Elvis was the mountain king
Who ruled the land of El-Karyaang
His wife Priscilla lady fair

Acoustic tale recorded Christmas 2010.
I wrote it years ago. Even tried rehearsing it with the band I was in at the time. But I couldn't play it properly. It took several weeks of practicing DADGAD (never really used it in anger before) until…
Comments on kavin.'s stuff
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
:) 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
That's very good gem of a song ...
This sure tells it like it is! Great lyrics. A real keeper!!
Comments made by kavin.
thanks! Yes I have that Luther Wright!
aint it good too be alive and playin guitar!
This is a seriously good album, raw in places, but all fascinating and experimental. It deserves more listens.
I like this "impressionist" take on this, one of may favorite all time songs.

Wonderful album, Raven. I love this dark ambient stuff. Thanks!
Great beats as always Norm. You can bet I'll be using this. Has anyone done a "Stone Age" playlist yet with all these tributes? hmmm
Great rockin album Gary! So far this is my fave.
Thanks so much for the comments ER! You guys did great here.
Love the TVZ, bless yer heart.
Wow! You did this album too? Proves your at least as crazy as I am! Very well done, not just synth pads and gobs of reverb, well thought out and arranged ambient compositions!
crunchy good!
very cool instrumental, this and shot dead my favorite so far.
thanks Sis. Daughter Brit did the vocal in the middle!
been smokin James Brown? Good luck with that drug/alcohol thing.
Trying to wrap my head (ears?) around the slightly overdriven mono(?) mix you use, but the melodies are always so strong!
A new version with a REAL female vocal.
Wonderful album, you deserve some kind of medal, considering the circumstances.
Great song and acoustic gtr sound! Your voice is so expressive too.
