Why the hell did I try to sleep at all…
For the daughters of two of my favorite people.
Bonfire Lullaby
Dannah studies my hands while I play
With heavy eyes at the end of a runaround day
Fading fast ‘neath a summer night’s sky
No need to wonder why
Time stands still in her…
Thanks! yeah my current recording set up leaves a lot to be desired. I like this song, though! Love the guitar intro, and the lyrics are very sweet and soothing

For the record, this song was written specifically with Jim's MTC goodness in mind, so I hear this version as frighteningly incomplete... But it is how it sounds when it's just me at the bonfire, so thanks to those of you who like this version as well.
So I dropped the guitar into DADGAD tuning for the first time, threw a capo on the third fret, rifled off something nice, and sent it to Movement to Contact for his contribution, got it back, did some mixing...
Here is the result.

Labyrinthine Life Fills the way
Tick-tock.
Time in a Bottle
Fast go the Seconds, Into Days,
Till the Time we wake up wide....
The Walls they hold us back
From the Brink of statute deep…
T,
Just getting over to listen to some of this good new stuff... Love the new direction of the arrangements. It's always so worthwhile to expand our musical horizons... And this expansion is definitely a good one.

"Four Walls" is the oldest song of the bunch. It was written early in 1992. I had been working with a drummer friend of mine for a while during the Fall 1991 semester. We'd get together once every few weeks and write and record to 4-track one…
Another Live performance with former band mates in Scartaglen back in 1988 on the NPR show Mountain Stage. This time a piece of Gaelic mouth music followed by 3 reels. Maybe the most complex arrangement of a set of tunes that we ever did.
2nd song for the RPM challenge in 2012. As always, feedback is appreciated!
Lyrics:
Hold on little girl. Don't lose hope.
Even though things seem so damn broken now,
I want you to know that it gets so much better.
My thoughts flow out, like…
Oh, so good. I always come away from your acoustic tracks feeling equal parts inspired and inadequate as a musician! I need to start studying your fingerings on these... It's about time I started learning how to really play this damn instrument.

-Lyrics-
When the world is in battle,
It grows hard to see,
The fights that occur within lines.
Constant distraction dispensed
From the top
of the castle
With oil down its sides.
All of the effort
now wasted…

Song #2 for the RPMC. My goal is to have 12 short tunes (1-3 minutes long), so I need to pick up the pace.
Again, quartal tuning on the top 3 unison pairs of the 12 string. I've been listening to Ralph Towner's Blue Sun, hence the title.
1pm on Sunday. I'm not back in work until Tuesday. We've just had a delicious roast dinner that I cooked, and the glass of wine we had with it is helping it go down. As a crisp February sun twinkles through the window I realise that for the first…
Another cut from the 1988 cassette tape of a live performance by Scartaglen on the NPR show Mountain stage. This time some tunes from County Kerry.
Kirk Lynch- Uilleann pipes and whistle. Becky Pringle- Fiddle. Mike Dugger- Fiddle and guitar…
Now, where has this perfect little nugget been hiding?!?!? Nobody can write and sing a love song like you, Sam. This is amazing. I may need to cover this one (he said sheepishly, hoping to get the verses and chords sent to him via gmail).
We held a charity Gig at St Mary’s Church in December 2011.
Here is a Recording of the night entitled “Wrens Friends presents – Cloud Horses”.

Glad you like the Nick Drake cover, T! Hey, love that you're a part of the fight for autism awareness... Coincidentally, I've written a song for a friend whose son has autism (and has helped start the G-man foundation that sounds very much like the Sunrise Programme). I've told her if there's any way my song can be used to help the cause, it's all hers.
So great to hear you continuing to fight the good fights, T!
Take care,
Keith
Music and lyrics by me. Hope you enjoy. :)

In time I'll fall apart,
And you can watch it all with dried up eyes.
Our life revolves around a worsening reflection of how helpless we are.
Lights out.
I don't want to talk about…
Comments on Keith Landry's stuff
Lovely! Very nice song!
Love the lyrics! Maybe I'm feeling my age this morning!
I have to fave this just for Stephen Krell's outstanding banjo addition to this song from a past RPM album.
very very nice song.
You hit a nerve there (smile)
That's why we shop on-line. I see no need for stores anymore.
Ha! This strikes close to the bone, Keith.
Still laughing at this! Don't forget to tell them to stick their Rooty Toot Toot up their Rummy Tum Tum
Thanks! yeah my current recording set up leaves a lot to be desired. I like this song, though! Love the guitar intro, and the lyrics are very sweet and soothing
Haha Let it out man!!!! Love it! Great song writing, and a super fast strum you have going on!!!
lol :)
HA! That's great! Pretty much sums up my feeling about holidays in general!
Wonderful!
LMAO! Brilliant!!!! w;-)
I'm with Greg, a guy & a guitar that does it for me too, and in one of my fav. tunings. Good stuff.
Cool! I like this version too

Sounds better with out me ;) I jam this one all the time on my home computer.
This one is good too, although, I think you hit the bullseye on your last version.
I like the sparse sound. Of course, I'm a sucker for just guitar and voice.

Always love hearing some good ol' fashioned Colin Garvey rock and roll.
Who knew a missing member of the Foo Fighters was living in my childhood hometown of Methuen?
Man, LOVING the acoustic stuff, Kavin! Soooooo good.
So great to hear the purity of this song performed by one talented man and his instrument. First rate, Corbin!
Just back to listen again. Pure magic, these live tracks.
Man, the radio-ready stuff you churn out is just incredible.
Oh, so good. I always come away from your acoustic tracks feeling equal parts inspired and inadequate as a musician! I need to start studying your fingerings on these... It's about time I started learning how to really play this damn instrument.
Outstanding delicate arrangement and performance, Richard!
Verrrry smooth. Definitely belongs on a soundtrack. No need for the vocal or lead guitar hook. I wouldn't mess with it one bit.
Instant fave. The purity of Cat Stevens. Truly spectacular track, Tharek.
Oh my goodness. This is amazing.
Sooooooooo good. I continue to be amazed by the incredible stuff you produce, Kavin!
Ha! First one in! Beautifully done as always, Richard. Once again, you make me wish I could play piano.
19-month-old knows what she's talking about.
These live performances are just outstanding. Please, please, please keep digging them up and sharing them with us!

So lucky to have been invited to sing with such a amazing talent... God, what a voice.
Holy crap. I'm always blown away, but this track is a cut above.
