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…
This song has got me bro....
I feel Quite emtional listening to it!
The "My little girl was awful quiet" Verse reminds me of when the boy was a new born...
It's like a High definition Picture of Life.
You are an excellent Storey teller bro. And a True Tallent!
I'm Gonna be listening to this a lot!

Believe it or not, this song was written while swimming laps in the high school pool (I had to have the life-guard kid write down lines for me every time I returned from the deep end). Oddly enough, the first line I came up with was "Swimming…

Wonderful song, special words, Keith! Much more gentle than the actual words spoken by Morwenna, which were, 'Don't worry, you'll sleep after you've cried.' :-D

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…
This year will be my fifth year coaching one of my daughters in tee ball, and although I played ball competitively into my thirties, coaching the kids is easily the most fun I've ever had on the diamond.
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…
As a 'guest' mentioned, add harmonies!
i'd love to hear this with a full band, lotsa energy needing a way out! I'd be tempted to pop this on my 32 track and add harmonies, makes me wish I had a drumkit (my favorite instrument to play!)
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…
Ah, my critical teenage piano player. Well, the music wouldn't get better if not for the constructive (or at times just needling) criticism!... And her suggestions are usually pretty accurate which is why I tend to defer to her on musical arrangements.

Yeah a little piano single-note melody would sound great. i tried it out. I just went along and stayed in the same range you did (basically) and i think that would fill up this song. You might be able to do it with a base guitar too...if it was soft enough
you got me analyzing and fixing your problems :P

Wow look at you getting fancy with your guitar melody!! And hey!! look at that, no more monotone!! much better. Though, there is something missing...I think a single note piano melody would fill up the whole there.

ooooooooooo...I LIKE THIS ONE!!
HAHAHHAA why are you so monotone??? you have an upbeat happy guitar and then you come in sounding like you've just been hit by a truck and can't move your vocal chords. with the except of the SAME high note here and there. Love the Lyrics tho. Just soften up your voice a little...maybe try harmonizing with the melody...something other than the same note over and over again.
My response to John Denver's "Rocky Mountain High."
The first time I dropped my lowest string
Was for Rocky Mountain High
Last night I caught a flight
To see the fire in the sky
Where John found twenty-seven
Now I'm turning thirty-five…

-Misunderstood-
Labyrinthine Life Fills the way
Tick-tock.
Time in a Bottle
Fast go the Seconds, Into Days,
Till the Time we wake up wide....
The Walls they hold us back
From the Brink of statute deep…
T,
Just getting over to listen to some of this good new stuff... Love the new direction of the arrangements. It's always so worthwhile to expand our musical horizons... And this expansion is definitely a good one.
Keith
"Four Walls" is the oldest song of the bunch. It was written early in 1992. I had been working with a drummer friend of mine for a while during the Fall 1991 semester. We'd get together once every few weeks and write and record to 4-track one…
Another Live performance with former band mates in Scartaglen back in 1988 on the NPR show Mountain Stage. This time a piece of Gaelic mouth music followed by 3 reels. Maybe the most complex arrangement of a set of tunes that we ever did.
2nd song for the RPM challenge in 2012. As always, feedback is appreciated!
Lyrics:
Hold on little girl. Don't lose hope.
Even though things seem so damn broken now,
I want you to know that it gets so much better.
My thoughts flow out, like…
Oh, so good. I always come away from your acoustic tracks feeling equal parts inspired and inadequate as a musician! I need to start studying your fingerings on these... It's about time I started learning how to really play this damn instrument.
rpm #3,, from a future themed piece to be called "the dark doll house" a place where yellow orange light drifts through soft gray curtains,,far away a child's laugh echos down the stair case,,

-Lyrics-
When the world is in battle,
It grows hard to see,
The fights that occur within lines.
Constant distraction dispensed
From the top
of the castle
With oil down its sides.
All of the effort
now wasted…

Song #2 for the RPMC. My goal is to have 12 short tunes (1-3 minutes long), so I need to pick up the pace.
Again, quartal tuning on the top 3 unison pairs of the 12 string. I've been listening to Ralph Towner's Blue Sun, hence the title.
1pm on Sunday. I'm not back in work until Tuesday. We've just had a delicious roast dinner that I cooked, and the glass of wine we had with it is helping it go down. As a crisp February sun twinkles through the window I realise that for the first…
Another cut from the 1988 cassette tape of a live performance by Scartaglen on the NPR show Mountain stage. This time some tunes from County Kerry.
Kirk Lynch- Uilleann pipes and whistle. Becky Pringle- Fiddle. Mike Dugger- Fiddle and guitar…
Now, where has this perfect little nugget been hiding?!?!? Nobody can write and sing a love song like you, Sam. This is amazing. I may need to cover this one (he said sheepishly, hoping to get the verses and chords sent to him via gmail).
We held a charity Gig at St Mary’s Church in December 2011.
Here is a Recording of the night entitled “Wrens Friends presents – Cloud Horses”.
Featuring:
Sam Silverlock and Catherine Goldstein
OsCKilO
Simon Williams
The Yes-mess
Wyen Solo

Glad you like the Nick Drake cover, T! Hey, love that you're a part of the fight for autism awareness... Coincidentally, I've written a song for a friend whose son has autism (and has helped start the G-man foundation that sounds very much like the Sunrise Programme). I've told her if there's any way my song can be used to help the cause, it's all hers.
So great to hear you continuing to fight the good fights, T!
Take care,
Keith
Music and lyrics by me. Hope you enjoy. :)

In time I'll fall apart,
And you can watch it all with dried up eyes.
Our life revolves around a worsening reflection of how helpless we are.
Lights out.
I don't want to talk about…

Stong work.
Super song writing man!
ahh the slow song. Awesome lyrics. I like this one, a little empty but nothing that a small extra melody can't fix. A-
I remember this song! You told me about it sometime...It came out pretty good! This is definitely one of my favorites. A- (what key is it in?..)
Hey, not bad. I actually really like it. Get get a B+ (i'd give you an A but its probably in the key of D)
Lovely job.
Wow man, bravo.
<3 and x x Wonderful song, special words, Keith! Much more gentle than the actual words spoken by Morwenna, which were, 'Don't worry, you'll sleep after you've cried.' :-D
What wonderful lyrics Keith. Lovely song indeed.
Great song, fantastic.
Awesome tune! Brings back memories of my own kids in BBall...;>) Thanks!

The new version is soooo much better. even though my part has been guitar-ized. and you still swear...
Super all round sound. Great song you got there and your own band now. Wahhoo!
Good mix, vocals are good, and like the "chunky" guitar and drums. All around good one.

Always love hearing some good ol' fashioned Colin Garvey rock and roll.
Who knew a missing member of the Foo Fighters was living in my childhood hometown of Methuen?
Man, LOVING the acoustic stuff, Kavin! Soooooo good.
So great to hear the purity of this song performed by one talented man and his instrument. First rate, Corbin!
Just back to listen again. Pure magic, these live tracks.
Man, the radio-ready stuff you churn out is just incredible.
Oh, so good. I always come away from your acoustic tracks feeling equal parts inspired and inadequate as a musician! I need to start studying your fingerings on these... It's about time I started learning how to really play this damn instrument.
Outstanding delicate arrangement and performance, Richard!
Verrrry smooth. Definitely belongs on a soundtrack. No need for the vocal or lead guitar hook. I wouldn't mess with it one bit.
Instant fave. The purity of Cat Stevens. Truly spectacular track, Tharek.
Oh my goodness. This is amazing.
Sooooooooo good. I continue to be amazed by the incredible stuff you produce, Kavin!
Ha! First one in! Beautifully done as always, Richard. Once again, you make me wish I could play piano.
19-month-old knows what she's talking about.
These live performances are just outstanding. Please, please, please keep digging them up and sharing them with us!

So lucky to have been invited to sing with such a amazing talent... God, what a voice.
Holy crap. I'm always blown away, but this track is a cut above.
