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…
The faucet drips the wind don’t blow
The sun won’t set the day is long
When I’m away and you’re not here
The time is slow because love is gone
Shadows creep across the lawn
The day won’t end to bring the dawn
I’m not here my thoughts they…
The faucet drips the wind don’t blow
The sun won’t set the day is long
When I’m away and you’re not here
The time is slow because love is gone
Shadows creep across the lawn
The day won’t end to bring the dawn
I’m not here my thoughts they…

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
Was taken…
I’m going down
To the ground
Half a step
Then look around
I make an unsettling sound
Devil in the details
Music is the thing
The flatted fifth
Makes a diabolic ring
I’m going down
To the ground
Half a step
Then look around
I make an unsettling sound
Devil in the details
Music is the thing
The flatted fifth
Makes a diabolic ring
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.
Play this in eight over three and a half
I been playing the blues for so long, make me feel like tryna rap x 2
I think I'll call…
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…

Comments on kavin.'s stuff
A refreshingly clever blues tune, but kind of depressing too. :) BW
Good slide song. On the verge of greatness. :) BW
Kind of a nice flowing Asian flavor on this one. :) BW
wow love this --- yeah record everything --- that is a must- :)
Not just good but good for ya too :) BW
"oOoHhHmMm" m'hmm ...wild , yeah!
Super Duper almost country! Sounds kind of familiar. JK LOL :) BW
That's a good thing. Bass players are often overlooked. it's a talent on it's own. Good job. I play lots of instruments but always loved bass.
That was fantastic ! Thanks for pointing it out.
Super Duper! Sounds kind of Pink Floyd style. :) BW
Nice
Ooh yeah! Love it
Super scary…. What happens if we play it backwards like the White Album?
You’re scaring me man. That’s some evil rock and roll there. I love it!
Acoustic guitar slaps and pops with loopy loops wow. :) BW
Now that is pretty classy and cool ..... and I'm checking out that tuning ... mind you !?!? ....
This is gorgeous!
This is a tasty bit of music. I love those acoustic instrumental sounds.
Good clean sound acoustic electric semi-classical with a touch of Layla at the end. BW :)
Dark and light at the same time!

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.. ; -)
