The first recorded version of this song, this little folk song was originally written fifteen or so years ago with just the four chord rhythm guitar and single vocal. The song became what it is today when I needed to write additional verses for…
Last Track of the Album...
Well...
This is the perfect closing tune......
As Impressed at the Guitar and Musical skills I am, This was not the highlight of the Album for me...
The Highlight was that I was Listening to a man of substance, imparting lessons, messages and Good times and life experience that he “May have†(Sorry...Title is cool) had through his songs!
That’s what it ever should be about bro!
I have only ever listened to around three albums in my life..
Was Busy as a Kid..... And I’m from the dance music generation.
One was by Cat Stevens .... One By Damien rice .... And this is the third...
I can Honestly say that this is on par and to be brutally honest, I prefer your works..
There is an air about your album that suggests you are the genuine article!
No Pretence.. .... Just Straight up Tunes That someone can take something from...
I wrote “Arise†after listening to one of your tracks...
I Thought “Why don’t I just Appreciate what I have!â€
I hope the messages in your tunes continue to influence me...
It Aint a bad way to be bro.
Thanks for a great Album!
Peace

Another old song that got a little country twang when it became obvious that the horn section wouldn't be showing up on my doorstep any time soon.
"You fools don't know what's going on inside her head"
Wrote it over a decade ago, rewrote it five years ago, recorded it last year with the help of little sis Karen.
"I'm not supposed to be down south. Take me north."

To get ready for every baseball season, my father used to pitch tennis balls to me in the backyard. He had invented a pitch that defied the laws of physics. To this day, I have no idea how he threw it. The damn thing would spin like crazy like…
Great Song!
My Pa Had secret talents like that...
Sure and steady... But sure to work!
Taught me a thing about how to be a Dad...
Keep your cards close... And Never share the secret till the kid works it out for himself!
Great song!
Written for my youngest when she was very little, almost everyone who's had a kid that just would rather not sleep can identify with this song. Originally, there was a line in there about "Staying up this late at night makes me consider drinking…
I have a track called "Kin"...
I wrote it when the boy was going through "that time"...
"Kin" represented us all.. Three guitar lines. Me, the boy and his Ma...
I used to play it to him so he would sleep..
It worked... And made me realize how we would fit into each others lives..
This track brought back memories bro.
Thanks for that..
This track is eternal!
I used to cross over railway tracks on my way to the ballfield in college, and though I never knew why, I was always tempted to just start following them.
Sweet guitar bro!
I'm sure you recorded this live!
The complicated riffs only come in when you stop singing! I do the same!
Do You perform live?
I bet it would be awesome to see!
Faved!
A song written for a great girl who'll be getting married next year...
"You'll always be this young if love comes first
And you stay filled with life."
Hell yeah!
This track is Gold bro!
The true spirit of song writing...
Share lessons learned... Try and Help!
Another point about your songs..
A four minute song is a pleasure to listen to! That is hard to do bro! And you pull it off effortlesly!
The song that really kicked off this second album of 2009.
"In time all the stars will fade away
Our kind won't get to see it anyway
No shine, just endless black between the gray
I won't be going out in that way"

Track Three.....
Stunning Album!!
A perfect pick up tune for realists!!!
Love the Instrumental Break at 1.20 where you just stop and play!
So Organic!
Thats what I Love about Your stuff!
Honest as the day is long!
Another Fave!
The sweet little girl I can't seem to get
Out of the back of my mind
Isn't quite sure what she's looking for yet
And I worry about what she'll find
Working so hard looking out for herself
I know there are times all alone
She's always had…
10 seconds in....
And the track has got me bro...
The Subject matter is Perfectly expressed...
But the performance bro...!!!!
You Don't stumble once!
Perfection......
Was this recorded live?
From what I have heard of your stuff, I can honestly say that your material rates as high with me as any pro that I may have purchased a CD from...
And the best thing about this is that it's free!
Awesome Mr Landry..
Awesome..
This is Superb Bro...
I hope/pray that I get to your level one day!
Such a Perfect song.
Awesome!
I bet it is great Live!
I just noticed that you have a Ton Of songs I haven't listened to...
Well..
No Time like the present...
It is Keith Landry night in East London!
This is Faved by the way!
DREAMS OF THE OCEAN
Your kids'll be waking up in the morning
Just a couple of hours after mine have gone to bed
I've got the coffee warming
While dreams of the ocean are in your daughters' heads
I taught them all 'bout it late last evening…
Just caught this off your acoustic compilation album, Sis - Fabulous tune! The vocals are absolute money - I got a chuckle from your denial of reverb comment, but they truly sound perfect this way.
Awsome songwriting, awesome tune - Love it!
Hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park, the opening melodies to this song found their way into my head... A song of hiking, love, and life... Won't you come with me on the trail?
God this brings me right back to advo. Givin me hope that it'll all be back soon. Don't know about you, but I can't wait for school to start again. See you in 26 days (cuz it's almost midnight).
-Britt (the one and only ;))
This is my stadium anthem, the one to close the show with. Everyone put your lighters (or cellphones) in the air and sing along...
I was sick as **** when I recorded it, so my vocals on it are really pretty bad. Ah well, that's rock and roll…
Also recorded when I was very, very sick...I needed to get RPM 2006 kicking into gear, regardless of the state of my voice.
This song was written and recorded on the spot. What you are hearing is what I made up as I went with the record button…
This song has a tale similar to Left Me Wondering. This was made up on the mic, both gtr and vox. Unlike Left Me Wondering however, I went back and overdubbed some backing harmonies and I also did a little extra GTR on it too.
What's fun about…
What's rock and roll without a yee-haw or war-whoop before a solo?
This ragged piece of something or other came from a riff I had laying around for a couple of years. I pieced it together kind of last minute for RPM 2006. It's not bad, a lot…
The urgency of this album comes through in all the best classic rock ways... Truly this album epitomizes the RPM challenge. Listening to this album should be a pre-requisite for every artist's introduction to the RPM Challenge.
...And war whoops are right and proper before the thrashing guitar solo.
This one is a personal favorite of mine, though it got savaged on Garageband.com. Ah well...
It has a lot of parts, lots of gtrs, and boatloads of harmonies. Actually, one guy on Garageband loved it. Maybe some day I will buy him a drink.
Listen…
Great opening riff... Damn, why didn't I get around to listening to this album sooner... Wait, I know... I was so demoralized by the fact that the album title "28 Days" had already been done (just as I was about to name my 2010 RPM effort the same thing) that I shut my computer before I gave the album a listen! Glad I didn't stick with the name... "Keeping Constant Motion" (the eventual album title) pales in comparison to this rock masterpiece.
Turn this one up REALLY FREAKING LOUD!
Written, recorded and polished off in about 45 minutes or so. Clearly my British influence shines forth in this one, right down to the SG through a Vox amp tones and backward riffs here and there. (and…
Reg was talking to Elvis about Frank and he told him something he didn't know.you can have it all then at the end not remember it which is what happened to Frank the grind ground him down a sad ending for a great man......Dementia is a cruel end…
Hey... First one in to comment! Great groove on this one... So how about the words now that you've survived RPM and recovered... I'm wanting to hear 'em.
Ooooh... Digging this one right off the first note. Love the harmonica List it as one of many instruments (including the guitar) that I wish I really knew how to play.
Great arrangement top to bottom!
A song about meeting up with each other this year for some music and booze next week.
Lyrics-
i need some space
i need some time
just to rehearse
for the viking dance
what should i wear
what should i bring
what will we sing…
music marcello prive words oldrottenhead
originally this was an instrumental called el arca from El arca CD recorded by Lucho Avolio and marcelo prive (from argentina) in 1998. then james higgins aka oldrottenhead(from scotland)heard it and had…
Well, this may be the final tweaking of this nice little sing along song...
I sent this fun little sing along off to Jim of MTC fame, and once again he has outdone himself... And I can't thank him and his wife (who appears covertly) enough…
I wrote these lyrics last year. And I've been meaning to put them to music, but, if it ain't one thing it's another, and here we are....
Well, this here started out as a recording from an old cassette tape recorder of a jam we did some 6 or 7…
Here's proof. Proof that things are a bit mysterious in my studio.
Late last night my Bass Cajon all of a sudden decided to start accompanying me on its own - without me touching it. At first I thought that some apparitional bass player had…

Hey Norm,
Thanks for the okay on playing along. I'll try to find the time to work on it this week. Thankfully, summer vacation is on the way and I can really spend more time recording...
And thanks for coming by and listening to some of my stuff. If you really want to get the flavor of this February's complete CD, check out the playlist "Late December" if you'd like to hear this year's RPM album in order rather than back to front.

Comments made by Keith Landry
Great acoustic sound... And what a voice! I'll be sure to come by and do some serious listening one of these nights...
Great album closer... First rate album, Gary. The urgency is just outstanding. This song might need some future covering.
...And another great acoustic track... Now I'm certain that an unplugged album is in order.
Great unplugged track... It may be time for an all-acoustic album, Gary!

All right... Time for a classic Gary Fox night. Great opening track. Love the driving beat, man... I can't turn it up loud enough.
Man, how did I miss this one? Great track guys.

Great performance, T! This is yet another outstanding track from a brilliant musical mind!
Wow. Such perfect simplicity to this arrangement. Just outstanding.
I just had to fave this, once again for the masterful contributions of MTC's Jim Garn.
Listened to, faved, commented on, and downloaded. Outstanding.
Well... Since I can't fave it again, I'll comment again. This truly is a brilliant track.
Faved at 0:03... Wish I could fave again every five seconds thereafter.
Hey, thanks for coming by to have a listen! I'll be finding the time to return the favor soon!
Faved at the first notes.
Excellent track, Norm... I may need to mess with this as well!
