Ditty #9 for the RPMC album "Bones".
I'd had this rolling around in my head for about a year now, and even played it live with the SD&Q trio. Didn't quite turn out as planned, which is not unusual.
Ditty #10 for RPMC. I really had a hard time trying to come up with the final track, so I fell back on the old loop/delay/ebow improv formula, which I had hoped to avoid on this album. Kind of acoustic Breaking Light. Well it crossed the finish…

My RPM challenge this year: acoustic guitar instrumental album with no more than three tracks on each tune (ok, maybe four!)
This one is a single track with no overdubs. On the 12 string, the 4th,5th and 6th string pairs are tuned a fourth apart.
very excellent,,, once a long time ago, when i lived in Del Rio i built a 6" newtonian,, at night i used to go down to the end of the road,,then on to the dirt and set up,,, with a dark sky from horizon to horizon,,,, wowieee,, Orion has always been a treat,, if you have a scope or even binoculars,, the sword contains one of the best of all treats to see,,, this is a really nice piece,, im on #7 for my rpm....
Beautifully crisp Kavin.
I understand your love of the universe. Tess and I were gazing at the crescent moon and Jupiter last night totally spellbound. Makes one feel very small!
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
Roger…
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…

Has a Led Zep feel to it, great
I think it worked out just fine. If you tap out the creative well, fall back on what you know, and you do so damn good at it
Such a full sound and terrific tempo. Well played! Nice tones too, yes, lovely!
wow - great stuff!
Nice slidework
Mighty cool change ups, paralell harmony, call and responce. I can tell this has been developing a while . Trully fine playing and writing.....Steve
Great playing.
Nothing wrong with acoustic breaking light as far as I'm concerned. Nice stuff man!
Sweet! Like the slide work
super pretty! I love the change at 3:20
Very lovely - evokes feelings of dusk in the summer time.
Beautiful playing man.

Stands good as a solo track, but really Orion's belt mix
Damn...amazing.....
Lost for words......great mix!!!FAV'D

Funny. The chipmunks go to Hawaii
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.
