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…
If you would like to hear the voice of one of my vocally talented students, though, come on over and listen to "Take Me North" with Ashley... Now that kid is going to be some singer!

Just to clarify, the drummer is a thirteen year old kid, the person who helped with much of the arrangement is a fifteen year old kid, and the vocals are done by A Girl Named Sam (NOT a kid, but a wonderfully talented fellow RPM'er singer/songwriter here on alonetone.

Oh Man! That vocal is superb!
And The Female vox fits in perfect!
Great mix, and blend of intruments!
I agree! This one is Eternal!
A Superb Song!

Thanks again, professional?? AHAHAHA, naaa just having fun as usual. I took 2 music theory courses and then realized it was warping my brain, so i forgot it all and went back to playing what i love.

Thank you very much. I just do what i do. I love music, and yours rocks. I like your music because acoustic is my first love. My father played acoustic guitar as a singer songwriter with my mother for over 30 years. So acoustic is my first an only love. I have GREAT respect for it. If you ever want to collaborat on anything be sure to let me know. I play out of a simple studio, in a trailer park in New Mexico. Also, i had to show "take me North" to my wife, we head north to the mountians every weekend to go camping so it is the perfect song for us. Nice to meet you, and keep playing the great music that you make.

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

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…
I asked to robots to help me write a song in the style of Tom Waits.
Riding on a train to the edge of town
Where the night has just begun
People on the street with nowhere to go
Living hard and having fun
Everywhere I go there’s a song…
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…

That is some harmony for a 15 year old! Love the tune!
Sam sounds like one of the Indigo Girls :-) Very nice song everyone!
Oh Man! That vocal is superb! And The Female vox fits in perfect! Great mix, and blend of intruments! I agree! This one is Eternal! A Superb Song! Faved!
That's a dandy. Charming tune.
Nice one man!
Great song, great duet. I just got back from there and this sure hit the spot!

I really like your style. This is another excellent song.
Great song, really great. I really like the vocals. it really sounds good guys.
