A crazy little song written while considering Ed Robertson's plane crash from a few years back, "Any Landing" is given much legitimacy by Ashley's incredible voice and Kavin Allenson's (Kavin S. Acoustic Church) guitar.

So I'm watching Ken Burns' documentary on the National Parks and realize that I'd never written that John Muir song I had been meaning to get to... So I got to it. Tim Alexander (Letter Seventeen) mentioned that he thought the song needed a…
Vocal excellence from girl named Sam... Do you really need any other reason to listen?
A Little Playing

Only getting clearer
Blue eyes
Like looking in a mirror
I can tell just what you're thinking
By that tiny little flicker…
A few years back (when I lived it Texas), I drove out to an open field to watch the Geminids meteor shower... I really need to remember to look up at the night sky more often.

Really good guitar on the rpm keith. Sounds like your trying a few different styles and patterns for strumming. Nice lyrics as well, and it sounds like your new studio setup is workin pretty good!
The contrast of this aging "summer boy" and his outdoors-loving daughter who is more than happy to run out into the cold.

a special place indeed.... i have raised two sons and a daughter,,, i still remember the day i brought my first son home for the first time,,, was a crying for joy moment,, our children are the greatest of all gifts,, and being a good parent and a good spouse are the two hardest jobs/tasks in the universe,,, (but i admit to being a little weird)your song is a beautiful testament well done,,, Richard
When the girl in the room is just too cute for me to concentrate on whatever it was I was trying to do.
Anything Done
How am I supposed to get anything done
With you looking like that
I'm so far gone
I'm forgetting where I'm at
How…
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…

Well, about six months ago, I uploaded a rough study called "Songwriting Day One." I wasn't sure where the song would go, but words came in January just in time for this year's RPM album... And before I forget... Curse you Bm!!!

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.

I truly apologize for the roughness of this song, but I'm testing to see if the best way to motivate myself to finish something off properly is to have something REALLY rough up here... So I can replace it QUICKLY with something done right.
My son recorded this.

A song about missing my wife when I travel.
lyrics
After all this time it comes down to this
You still excite me with every kiss
And every time you go away, I have to say
It makes for quite a long day
I hate it when I’m away from you…
We try to include a song about a donkey on each record. This is a factually accurate tale of Romulus, the world's tallest donkey.
lyrics
Romulus is 12 years old and 17 hands
At 5 foot 8 he’s taller than Oklahoma Sam
The world’s tallest donkey…
A tribute song to the unofficial mayor of Portsmouth New Hampshire. If you're in town, stop by The Press Room and say "hi".
lyrics
Master of music
King of the blues
Shakespearian insults
A well-rounded dude
Legend says he’s six foot…
You start off watching a TV show. You end up with a song.
lyrics
Another night alone, sitting with myself
Thinking of how it used to be
I try to distract myself
Flipping through channels on TV
I come upon you there
Staring back at…
This is a tune inspired by the words of Hafiz.
lyrics:
As i sleep and wander in my dreams
you are here, keeping watch over me
and i feel your lips upon my head
and a fire flickering inside my body
My cover of Klandry's song, "Seven Weeks." I took some liberties due to the frustrations of my technical limitations.
I’ve been living like a poor man
Lying on my back day after day
Waking up wearing the same old clothes
Lying on my…
I've got nothing there
Nothing here to share either
Plenty of ideas
But nothing ripe enough to root down
I'm grounded
And nothing flys
Nothing flys by me (2x)
I recognize that tank's empty
In a pool of fuel
But the thoughts I accuse…
Don't tell me how it is, I'm good, I got it, I got it. But are we blind, and are there cracks in a facade? The riff was what came first, probably while watching the idiot box one evening. I am pretty sure it came very soon after RPM '15, and I…
This is a track of serendipity (is that how you spell that?) I was hours from deadline, lots of mixing left to do, and this track was FAR from done. I love the congas in this one. In general, this is a fun one for me. For once I actually don't…

Love the guitar groove and your vocal together, great song
Oh yes, thanks for the heads up, I forgot this one.It disappeared when I took my stuff down a few months back. I keep finding little gems to get back.
Beautiful. Lovely vox and guitar.
I remember the rough version. This came out great Keith!
Those are really fine lyrics Keith to a very pretty song.
Oh yesss... Love it. I can see there's lots of stuff I've got to listen to on here.

Whoever this "guest" is, he's a jerk.
Oh, very will done!
This is exactly what the world needed.
Man, everything you make is a favorite of mine.
Bowie would be jealous. This is OUTSTANDING.
Very nice, Tim. Very nice.
You need help. I'm glad you're not getting it.
Brilliant!
This is a gem of a track, Tim!
I was in from the opening note.
Wow. This is terrific!
Oh, this is pure magic.
Oh, this is WAY too cool.
This had me two notes in.
Dude, I love this song. This is about as genuine as it gets. What chords are you playing? Is the capo on? I may need to cover this.
Oh hell yes.
Crazy blend of styles. Instant fave.
...I may need to cover this track someday. So friggin good. Maybe your strongest vocals ever.
Such a gem, this track. Crazy good opening riff. Every time I hear this, I wish I'd written it... And I sure as hell wished I'd sung it.
Where has this been hiding. I may need to go delving into the Fox deep track stacks.
