Some girls have had it far too rough for their very few years.
How old were you when you'd seen enough
How old were you when your hide got tough
Your wounds have scarred
Sometimes they still sting
Close your eyes and hear her sing
Finally, the finishing touches seem to be put on this three-year-old song thanks to some very talented people.
The band is:
Liam (age 13 at the time of recording) on drums
A Girl Named Sam (she's no kid!) with the backing vocals
Genevieve…
"The pictures that she paints while you're keeping time might just make you think again if you don't believe in the divine." Simply, it's a delicate little song appreciating the talents behind a beautifully written and performed song with the…
Inspired by Tess' little Morwenna and my (getting bigger) Jessica. Writing back and forth with Bethan, I came to realize that a song needed to be written about the significance of the statements that so often come from the mouths of babes…
I'm hangin in there. Just the old job...crazy as always. I think I need to change things up so I will have more free time. ;) Good song. Nice clear vocals.

After writing this song about our newly adopted dog, I asked Kavin if he like to play some slide guitar, knowing that he would come up with something terrific... I just had no idea how terrific.

Another song from the archive... Written about a friend who somehow seemed to come out of her general sad manner... Thoughts go back to a lunar eclipse when the girl I was standing next to to watch it (way back in college) disappeared from sight…

Another oldie but goodie (again, apologies for the few seconds of silence it takes to get to the intro). This song is the first that I really tried to record properly, written around Christmastime four or five years ago with my seventh grade…
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…

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"

Dip sampled this out of your many tracks!
This is Superb Bro!
I got a Feeling that all your tracks are Gonna be as Great!
I look forward to coming back and listening to them..
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.

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!
