JUST AS WELL
Why is youth so beautiful
And why’s it always wasted on the young
When did my days go flying by
So many passes of the sun
There’s so much I could tell you
So much I’d like to say
It might be just as well
You never heard…

OUSTANDING collaboration with the great Gary Fox.
ONE AND ONLY
How many times have you been
Captured by a camera
With no one really knowing who you are
Caught in the sight lines
In the background
In the corner of their eyes
Never…
FOUND IN THE MOVEMENT
She moves in a spinning reminder
A violent link to the past
Don't you dare try to define her
She might not be big, but she's fast
A release of God-given aggression
An arm near her head in defense
Somewhere just short…
Great album Keith, I really feel your sequencing of the songs created a great build. And this last track proves you don't need to collab to make excellent music (but then, we knew that already).
Andy Samford kicking ass on guitar, Brian Martin on bass, and Jim Garn (MTC) on drums... A song that was assembled bass-ackwards.
I'M FIGHTING TIME

The first long weekend in July
With Doc and Einstein…

What's mine is yours
Folding down the corners
Of pages meaning more
Walking on the wire

TURN ROUND
All your turns
All your pain
Lessons learned
Will remain
Hiding in the silence of a footstep
Some familiar sound
Walking toward the east before the sunset
Turn round
Lost in thought
Troubled mind
All you’ve fought…
Gary and I did something good.

Nice job on this one Keith. Great harmony by Andrea.
I found this a couple weeks ago on RPM and left you a comment there as well.
You are good inspiration
LOST IN THE GRAY
Never ran into the water on a summer day
Never had the time to find a better word to say
Never tried anyway
Never thought I'd ever try to find another way
Never even thought I'd ever really want to stay
Never knew how…

wow,,, what a wonderful piece,, you play is wonderful (as of course it always is) but this time it's your storyline,,, that blows me away,,, it's ,,, hard to say,,, it's a poem for sure,,, a story/mini epic set to music, and then given life by your voice and your strings,,, really fine r

Life is a quest for knowledge and a simple realization that not only is there so much we don't know but to declare it somehow is empowering. A great collaboration with Norm who is an amazing percussionist and a super cool guy! Thanks for the…
last eve there was a beautiful moon
dancing in a blue black sky
outside my piano room, it called to me
this tune is a one take playful moment, loosely based on the main theme from the 2nd mov of my piano sonata,,, i only toned down about…

A couple of nice reels played on guitar, the first is The Cup of Tea, can't remember the name of the second one. Unfortunately my midi flute scratch track got added in the mix…

Nothing special, the last track I wrote and recorded for this unfinished CD.
Sitting around in my shop a couple of days ago with the Goodall and the Zoom H4N. First time I've really messed with using the internal mics on the H4N in multitrack mode
Archival stuff from my distant past with former bandmates in Scartaglen. A set of traditional Irish tunes. Rescued from a cassette tape done at a concert back in the early 90's. Myself on Uilleann pipes and whistle. Mike dugger on guitar and fiddle…
More stuff from the ancient archives rescued from the same cassette tape as Last Nights Fun. This time a set of 3 Irish reels Live at a concert back around 1992
Just great stuff... I have that tendency from time to time to forget that music is a performance art, and that there's really nothing like live music. Thanks, Kirk, for putting this up!
"You gotta put your pencil to the paper. Don't bother with the intricate chords. Hell it doesn't matter if the damned thing doesn't rhyme. Write it down. Run it through. Make some noise." These were actually the first words I wrote when…
All right, so one of those silly songs needed to find its way onto the album. In an effort to teach the students on my middle school team about rhythm in poetry, I wrote this little bit of foolishness about a fictional character (so yes, you…
Just updating all the songs from "Keeping Constant Motion" with versions that have the vocals a bit more up front... Just had to favorite this one. Of all the songs I've ever written, this one and "Amy Pond" are the most requested... Just goes to show that silliness in songwriting often speaks to people more than seriousness.
A song about the five stages of grieving, as devised by the (late) Elizabeth Kubler-Ross. Unfortunately knowing these stages does not help you get over them.
You've been managing expectations
Consultations end in tears
Even if you're optimistic…
Rell Sunn, the Queen of Makaha, was a beautiful spirit and graceful surfer who lives in the hearts of all who knew her before she was called back home.

If you have the fever and the only cure is more tambourine, here it is.
MORE TAMBOURINE SOLOS!! (But you should probably wait until you have the house to yourself...)
When my daughter and I use to play computer games on the Sinclar Spectrum. ( One Kilobyte). Many years ago we combined our names Samantha And Dad, Hence Samadad.
Wow... Very nice on this one Brian. Incredibly clean, just beautiful progressions... Makes me realize just how much I still need to learn about the guitar.
Comments on Keith Landry's stuff
Lovely additions from MTC - very cool touch.
Lovely pace and feel. Your voice sparkles.
This builds nicely and tells a great story.
Great album Keith, I really feel your sequencing of the songs created a great build. And this last track proves you don't need to collab to make excellent music (but then, we knew that already).
Just a great vibe, and comes at a perfect time in the course of this album -- a neat little "surprise play" if you will....
This one is just superb, Keith! You really made the most of your RPM with all these first-class collabs!
Yeah! great groove. really great stuff this year.
Love this. Nice work.
Really Lovely stuff Man!
Can't get this one to play. I think alonetone is still having some issues
Very Nice! Looking forward to the rest of the album
Nice harmony....wonderful song

Nice job on this one Keith. Great harmony by Andrea. I found this a couple weeks ago on RPM and left you a comment there as well. You are good inspiration

This is really good! Well done!
Comments made by Keith Landry
GREAT song... What a feel to this one.
Very cool... I'm amazed by how you can play different tunings so smoothly. Just great stuff, Kavin. Damn, what a sound.
This is great! I'm a big fan of blatant anything... And even better when it's well played!
Great track, Colin! To think it was a part of the 24-hour challenge is mind-blowing!
Beautifully delicate piece, Richard!
Great track!
Very nice! How do you record your guitar to get such a clean sound?
Love that slide!!! I bow to the master.
Damn, this song is just plain beautiful... Everything I hope I can be someday as a guitarist (and know that I never will). Incredible stuff, Kirk!
Just more incredible stuff!
Just great stuff... I have that tendency from time to time to forget that music is a performance art, and that there's really nothing like live music. Thanks, Kirk, for putting this up!
All right... So I closed the album with the fun songs (note to self... next time START the album with the fun songs).
Just updating all the songs from "Keeping Constant Motion" with versions that have the vocals a bit more up front... Just had to favorite this one. Of all the songs I've ever written, this one and "Amy Pond" are the most requested... Just goes to show that silliness in songwriting often speaks to people more than seriousness.
Ahhhhh... One of the all-time-great songs!
Wow, Rick, this is great stuff!
Wow. Right from the opening, this song is just beautifully played. Great work, guys!
Verrrrrrry nice!
This is great! It takes a special kind of healthy crazy to let it all out in a tambourine solo!
Great track!
Wow... Very nice on this one Brian. Incredibly clean, just beautiful progressions... Makes me realize just how much I still need to learn about the guitar.
