When I wrote this song (and started singing it a bit), I knew that my voice could never give it what it needed... So I turned it over to one Sister Savage... And she did…

Well, I sent this simple little arrangement off to Jana to see what he thought it needed. When he suggested a uke, I said "Go for it!"
He was right... Can't thank him enough for his contribution.

What does a songwriter do when he's addicted to Doctor Who (and his new very cute companion)? He writes...
Amy Pond
Red hair and that pretty face beneath it
My how you've grown up after oh so many years
I've only been away for ten or…
Hm. An ode to a pretty young redhead. Does your wife know about this? Just kidding.
Nice song, sir. And our family has started watching more and more of BBC America lately, too.

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…
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.

Added a little more to this nice little change of strumming patterns played as an excuse to write a little love song.
I FOUND LOVE
You know I love you more than I
Ever thought one simple man could
You know I need you more than I
Ever…

Other layers may or may not be in the works, but I thought I'd let everyone have a listen so far.
HERE WE ARE TODAY
How can it be so clear
In my mind
The first night you were here
Like going back in time
Sweet as summer wine
Your whisper…

-Misunderstood-
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.
Keith
"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.
rpm #3,, from a future themed piece to be called "the dark doll house" a place where yellow orange light drifts through soft gray curtains,,far away a child's laugh echos down the stair case,,

-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”.

Sam Silverlock and Catherine Goldstein

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

That is one cool track mate.
Sounds good, Keith. Very nice. ER

Very cool man, the uke makes for a good addition. :)
That's one for my collection. Nice collab.
True, he is right. An inspired addition Keith.
Hm. An ode to a pretty young redhead. Does your wife know about this? Just kidding. Nice song, sir. And our family has started watching more and more of BBC America lately, too. ER
the magic of ...ONE!.... nice thoughts!
Thanks Rob! Glad you like the stuff... The new CD is currently in the works!
Hey, really nice cut! Just last night found the info you gave me about your work. I look forward to checking it all out. Talk to you soon, Rob DuBoff
sounds great
Just messing with some simple added arrangement... It'll probably need some volume work with the extra guitar tracks, but I kinda like the additions.
Nice!
Sweet little ditty.
sounds like slightly more up tempo than I remember the first version... i like it :)
Yep i think you put the last nail in this one man.
very pretty this keith..
Two minutes of pleasure. Thank you

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.
