One of the first songs I ever wrote... When we bought our first house, we had a nice big back yard on a 1/3 acre lot... With the train tracks just on the other side of the back fence.
Another "oldie but goodie" that had never really gotten the love it deserved... The original version came in at over six minutes (and even I recognize in looking back that it was WAY too long).

I have a soft spot for trains as well. In my hometown south of here I enjoyed the trains rolling by old route 66 all the time. Miss them some days.
Also really like the strumming pattern @ the :57 mark reminds me of the train horn
Written for a friend from days long past working in special needs summer camps... Now she's raising an autistic son, and doing an amazing job of it.
Still, none of it's fair.
The title track for this year's RPM album. One mic. Live take. Please forgive the missed notes.

BETWEEN - 11-27/28-12
I step out of the car
I don't know where we are
Somewhere between a planet
A planet and a star
I never dreamed I'd end up
in a place like this
The Multnomah Falls is up the Columbia Gorge
Somewhere between Portland…
A bit of improv done yesterday with my newly refurbished fretless guitar. Finally got the midi pickup to track almost right! Part of the sounds were gotten by rubbing a teaspoon on the strings.
i was trying to work on a piece for a shark video of mine, but this is what came out instead,, my piano moments collections are the small musical threads that emerge amongst/while i am working/thinking about other things,,,
Richard!
The song seems to be playing here on the site okay for me, so something must be up on your end. As for the RPM site, if you look under "Latest Discussions" halfway down the right side of the page, you should find reference to the Holiday Challenge...
...And if the song won't play for you on Alonetone, you should be able to listen to it in my player.

Texas hold em poker, and going for it all. Open mic acoustic with some alt tuning. Percussion by Norm.
The kokiriko? Norms playing in there actually sounds like shuffling cards- particularly loving the glockenspiel addition he did…
I'm not sure if John really had intended to write a funny lyric, but we thought it was funny - and so this became a funny song. At least I think so. :)
In the beginning there was a stupid little synth demo. This is what became of it with a…
...But now as I listen to this version, I think I prefer it... And I suspect that's how I'll feel every time I listen to either version. Ah, the beauty of great music.
Outstanding. I think I prefer this version as well. Both are outstanding. I say keep uploading multiple versions. Seeing the same great artist sing the same song on a different night is always a little bit different... And always worth hearing.

Faved instantly... GREAT arrangement, T!!!... Sorry I haven't been around... Busy time in the classroom, September is. This track is a spectacular reminder of why I need to listen more often.

Theres something I would share with you, if you ever asked me to.
Perhaps it is a secret, perhaps you already know.

Im not in love with myself, but I think I am with you.

Sometimes I can find solace in the sky.
Knowing we are all here...
Under the same sky......
Under the same sky by OSCKILO
Under the same sky
We can share a light
At any time
Or stoke it
till its heat holds no delight
Under the same sky…
Faved instantly. Y'all are the most original, unfettered, and uninhibited artists I know. Truly brilliant track.
Seriously floored by this one. I need to do exactly as Gary says.
Noodling with the "art guitar" in DADGAD tuning in the Serra sculpture Vortex at the FW MOMA. No fx added, all natural reverb/delay inside the structure.

There are a good many (like myself) who merely play (or at times fight with) the guitar. Then there are a very few (like Kavin) who truly are the guitar.
Kavin, both this track and you as an artist are simply magnificent.
Man, I get out of the loop for just a little while and Kavin drops all of this amazing guitar work her on Alonetone. There is no better, "Hey, welcome back, where've you been?" that I could have asked for.

Cave Street posted a track recently, their contribution to the Woody Guthrie Project, organised by Akron Family.

Thank you for doing this song! I always agreed with you, but this tune brings it to the forefront. Well done! ER
I was twelve before I learned F'n Yankees was two words.
Great album altogether Keith!
Nice! You got that affect of 2 instruments on this one as well.
Man enjoying this live album....very much
Sweet, get to fav this again!

Really enjoying your live RPm this year, i may have to give it a go next year!!
Great stuff Keith! One day i will get to re-recording that track for you to use, but for now this is jammin. :)
Great stuff Keith! Love your guitar accompaniments. This one sounds like there's a second high part. Almost sounds like a mandolin
Nice one Keith. Understated guitar, mellow tone. Brilliant lyric and well sung.

Faved instantly. Sooooooo good. I need to take a day, do myself a favor, and go back through the Reefwalker catalog of musical goodness.
I need to get my ass to Texas for one of these live gigs and get my head properly fed. GREAT track.
Great production! Grinning through the whole thing.

Folk blues genius.

Absolutely loving this VS set of tracks.

Just outstanding. Beautiful tone. Just first rate listening, Kavin.
Double woot!
