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

Got bumps on my body
One under my eye
Been there since birth
I don't know why
Have one on my leg and one on my back
I guess it's better than having a heart attack
Someone said "Know thyself" he was pretty wise
I thought I knew me pretty…
Had the blues in Alabama
Had the blues in Texas too
Had the blues all over
Now I 'm givin' em to you
And if you don't want em
You know what you can do
You wont find me I'm goin' ta run and hide away from you
Because I see trouble

Mellow morning mist fall
Melting into day
This summer said son, you are lazy
Don’t follow any example, break every rule
After awhile you’ll find it’s so easy to do
Just stay within the limits of your love
Soon the air will turn colder…
Shout out to Tom Waits, one of my favs. Rumor has it, he has had a similar problem with his piano.
I didnt think I would make it signing this way to the end of the song, lol.
Throat lozenge anyone??
This is a track I've been working on for quite a while so I am glad to finally have it out of my head.
I have a kind of love/hate relationship with time and its humble functionary, the clock. Ticking, in particular, is something I am ambivalent…
I just made this.
Some reasons I haven't uploaded anything here in a year and a half:
- A lot of the projects I've spent the most time on are very complex, so they quickly burn me out as I'm trying to keep a clear picture of the whole thing…
Well it's been awhile for me. Busy summer and a bit of creative block all around. I'm happy to share a song I wrote this weekend to reflect on how tough change can be when you're in the midst of it. So many in my life are in the midst of personal…
i gave amplitube 3 a free test run. Had to get ampli vst's into audicity then mix and record / master yada. Still playing around , this stuff is tickie for an ole fart like myself to learn.
Grackle Art Gallery owner Matt Sacks discusses improvisation with bassist/musician Canyon Kafer after his performance at the House of the Rising Thumb in Fort Worth,Tx.
Over a month of hourly time lapse (night edited out) with 17 note per octave ambient guitar accompaniment. This is probably the longest project I’ve set out to do. I left my time lapse camera in the kitchen window filming the tree in my backyard…
400 BULLETS
400 guns. 400 bullets.
400 babies in the grave.
You got your New Pearl Harbor
Now it’s time for a new Passover.

It's been raining all day so I've been playing with my recorder and a new Irish Whistle that arrived from Scotland yesterday.

Post-rock Waits? Why not!
Extraordinary mix/soundfield on this. Sounded like the clocks were external to my headphones, several feet away.
other times it can be a sweet deal
Excellent playlist!
Glad you're back! More please!
Thanks. This is beautiful, welcome back. I've been thinking about that difference a lot lately.
thanks, Cap, the amp on Remnento is Logic's "boutique retro amp"
..and he was right about the Esus2 chord from the train whistle. Amazing.
Neat!
Been listening to Ry Cooder soundtrack music, and this fits right in, great mood and guitar tone and concept.
you out Neil Young-ed Neil Young!
Well done! And the whistle fits like a glove.
This is beautiful, the notes hang in the air like snowflakes lit by a full moon.
Lovely!
