Well, screw the metronome, damn the torpedoes, and grab a capo!
Sometimes the best versions are the ones played fast and loose. Hope you enjoy this song adapted from one of my all-time favorite poems (I'm a bit biased since my dad wrote it…
A few months back, Jim (MTC) posted an outstanding acoustic track which summoned up a clear-as-day memory from my childhood. The vividness of that memory resulted in this song... Amazing how such significant events in your life (like recognizing…
My first completed 2013 RPM track. Thanks to Kavin for turning a simple acoustic song into what you hear today.
ONE LAST DANCE
I never got to tell you what's been on my mind
It might be just as well now that we're running out of time…

Demo version of a song I've been messing with.
I know what they're missing... The only girl.
I know what they're missing... The one and only in the world.

WATER UNDER WATER
So near the surface
So near the end
So near the purpose
Time and again
Just barely breathing
I’ll need you when
I’m floating in the water under water
Holding on loosely
Without letting…
Red string of fate... Go look it up!
ONE RED STRING
One red string
Forever tied
Through everything
I’ve ever tried
You can always bring be back to life
Just by coming ‘round
There’s something magic in your eyes
Or maybe something…

Black Cat
Words and Music by Tharek Mokbul ( OsCKilO )
My heart will miss a beat
Each time
I see your pain
I know this is the end
But I
Will fight this tide
The battle is complete
Both sides
Have won this time
I will remember you
So proud…
A Song I wrote about a friend of mine who used to Jump out of planes a lot.
This is one of the hidden tracks on my new album "Black Cat" which features Beth, Keith and Reewfwalker from alonetone and Geir and Jim from Songcrafters.
Here is a…
Wow... Outstanding arrangement. I'm always floored by the perfect acoustic guitar on these tracks, and the violin (and other instruments) fill this tune out beautifully!
written on a Bad day with Chicken pox....
But Spent a Great Day with my Son who also had it.
Jim Called later that day.
He added a vocal/Lyric the day after as my voice is shot...
This is a song about good times with your wee ones..
This is really a true story.
No, really...
And our holiday gift to you & your friends. (Feel free to download it and share it with anyone who you think might enjoy it.)
Oh... by the way... acl is finally waking from a very deep slumber…

This one was inspired by Wen's mom; and is therefore dedicated to all those musicians doing RPM, and all musicians who toil away at home to make their music despite what their friends & co-workers might think of their efforts.
Well, I was introduced to this outstanding track by a couple of hyperactive rabbits and thought I should listen to the pre-bunny funk version. Outstanding track! Great work!!!
Fast forward time, 9 years to the day, and I am in a check-out lane.
You're standing there 3 or 4 feet away, pretending not to notice.
You look so beautiful in the winter,
Just like I remember.
Nothing really changes when it comes to the…
The contrast of this aging "summer boy" and his outdoors-loving daughter who is more than happy to run out into the cold.

Turning embers

Finally got this song balanced properly (after so many weeks of listening and editing, listening and editing). It somehow seems so long ago that we were all covered in snow now that winter has finally relented.
Ah... Glad I thought to come looking for this track again!... I thought you might like to hear my song with the same name (about one of my former students / piano players... who very much likes your music, by the way).

Well, after my conversation (if you could call it that) with my Seagull Mini-Jumbo, I started playing THIS song...
So now my guitar has filed for legal separation. I guess it never realized what true musicianship was all this time. It actually had the nerve to ask for Gary's email to see if he'd be at the Listening Party in Portsmouth (as if it thinks I'll still bring it along to meet Gary face-to-fretboard).
A brief glimpse, but that's all. Inspired by last April. It's for everyone, but no one in particular. Yes, this one gives more than a passing nod to Ham and Evans. Thanks gents!
Just by to listen to the awesomeness again... I actually had the crazy idea of trying to cover this song with just a stripped down arrangement on the acoustic, but when I mentioned it to my guitar it angrily asked if I was "friggin' nuts" and went off to gripe in the corner of the room, mumbling something about my inadequacies as a musician and foolishness to try to mess with perfection.
We aren't speaking now. I'll try to re-establish contact with the six-string's representation by offering to play some James Taylor on it later, but after hearing this track I don't think it'll be interested in my version of "mediocre guitar playing" (I quoted the guitar on that one) any time soon.
In 1979, my father came home from the record store with an album that forever changed my life, Pete Seeger's Circles & Seasons. Before I knew Pete to be the blacklisted folk icon that had been on the humanitarian side of every fight since…
Comments on Keith Landry's stuff
Very good! ...and well done.
Hmm.. Wonder where this idea came from...
Real sweet one there guys!
Hit the spot. Really good track.
I had to fave it for Kavin's brilliant bass and slide work. I can't imagine this song without it.
I love how this turned out Keith. Thanks for letting me participate.
Just stopped by to listen to your latest. Love your music. ER
This is simply gorgeous :)
Enjoyed!
This is wonderful, Keith. w;-)
Oh my Keith, this is just fantastic! One of your best ever! w;-)
I did go look it up. This is really nice Keith. That a nylon string in there?
Very cool, gonna be a good rpm for you if this is an indication. I can hear some atmospheric guitarplay under this..
Excellent songmenship here Keith. Really enjoying the chord/vocal progressions.
Very Nice, Keith. Love the melody. ER
nice pulled me in too......
Nice one. Simple and gorgeous.
Nice one Keith. I even dug out the headphones to take another listen. Great song writing! I just pulls you in.
Nice one Keith!
Sweet song.

Looking forward to an Osckilo night at the Landry house to hear this album in its entirety.
Wow... Outstanding arrangement. I'm always floored by the perfect acoustic guitar on these tracks, and the violin (and other instruments) fill this tune out beautifully!
This is the goods! Once again, you find the perfect words and arrangement. Well done, my friend.
Too good for radio.
Left speechless by this album.
Damn... This is one hell of an album... Sorry I missed you at the listening party for a CD trade! Will be doing some downloading here instead!
Oh, the best one yet... Magnificent piece in every way.
Another gem, this one.
Excellent track!
Good to see this up in the #1 spot. Just absurd talent. Incredible stuff, Kavin.
Absolutely brilliant.
So where's the ACL fan club? Do I need to start a chapter? HA, the Toby Keith T-shirt!!!

Just giving this a little bump in honor of the release of Pete Seeger's "Circles & Seasons" album on CD... About to play my newly acquired copy!
