So Jim of "Movement to Contact" asked me a couple of weeks ago to send him something...
I had no idea how ridiculously good the final result would come out.

Thanks, Kavin! Jim really did a fantastic job of running with the song much the way you did so perfectly with "Bandit"...
The playlist pic is from Mary's Lake (I think that's the name of it) just outside Rocky Mountain National Park.... Which, by the way, is where the playlist cover for "The Trail" is from as well.

The next step in the progression of this song... It still needs quite a bit of cleanup (and some extra arranging), but it's getting there.
Hey, everyone writes songs about falling in love (which for me was, like, seventeen years ago), so I thought…
There is an interesting story to that song. Long winded but interesting. It seemed like all day from morning until evening, every story someone shared was geared tward some horrible thing that they had heard about. I got home and was watching a show about the crazy ______ (<-- instert words here) that kidnap women...just horrible, horrible stuff. Then my wife began telling me about a man who was going to put down a dog, but he had a felony and could not get a gun, so he took a knife and stabbed it to death.
It had been a very long and stressful day and these stories just started to really mess with my head. Seriously? What is up with people like that.
So I grabbed my guitar and was going to work on our jam a bit. Put the capo on and the first note I hit just sent my mind spinning. Just as you put it, i grabbed my notebook,wrote down everything that came to mind. Picked up my guitar and turned on the mic and it just came out.
Sometime's I feel I have to release whatever has been dwelling before I can get back to my usual state of mind. Drinking coffee, jamming good music, and getting focused for what is ahead.
In short, I still have my capo on the guitar and should have something killer back to you tonight.
Talk at you soon Keith

Staring over the edge
Not the way we planned it
But what we have in the end
When the waves were crashing
How were we to know
That nothing would be the same
When we…

Morning keeps its promises
I don’t stop to question why

I don’t ask it what it means
If I keep my hands in motion

It's a b-side song for RPM 2024, mostly because I needed a second song in order to create a playlist here.

To put in the effort, to get things done

I needed to keep the streak alive.
15 years of RPM.
But life has been in the way. Considerably. It's not worth getting into, but music is currently so far down the priority list it's not even funny.
But I found time on the 28th to…
Well, now. This is OUTSTANDING. It seems like this was the year for "get one song done to keep the streak alive." A damn good little track. Yeah. Fifteen years. Pretty amazing, my friend.

The final Song for my 2023 RPM challenge!! Dusted off my acoustic guitar (and blistered my fingers) to get this one done. Phew! I love Latin rhythms and so I found a beat and jammed it up. Thanks again to anyone who listens -it's really fun…
Made it through another year
Still don’t know why I’m here
Make some music drink some beer
Sounds alright to me
Loved ones leave
Friends come then go
Everything can change so quick
Don’t let the bullshit bring you down
Just enjoy this…
RPMers I salute you
Ice ice everywhere like a skating rink
I don’t wanna go nowhere
I don’t wanna think
I’ll just stay inside press record and sing
RPM is here
it’s 2am what else to do
Make up rhymes strum a chord
Find a good groove…
Don't let it be said that I've forgotten my love of R.E.M.
Dream of a life that’s never been seen
A world of possibilities, a place in between
A place of shadows, a place of light
A place of secrets, hiding in the night
Oblique, oblique…

A large portion of this record was written with my friend Wilsun in mind. If anything, this is an album to amuse him. To ensure I achieved that goal, I tried to write a song that reminded me of "Life In A Northern Town", although it actually…

very nice Keith. Where exactly was that playlist pic taken?
Ahh, love your voice, Keith! And yes, the guitar is super! Brilliant collab!
That's an instant fav. Downloaded for my personal AT collection.
Far out, guys! I love that guitar melody right around a minute into it and the solo - hell I think it's all awesome. Great stuff!
Good mix buddy! Dig it. ;)
Well done.
