After writing this song about our newly adopted dog, I asked Kavin if he like to play some slide guitar, knowing that he would come up with something terrific... I just had no idea how terrific.

I'm glad you like this one so much, Tess. I actually wrote it for a friend of mine (a terrific girl) who'll be getting married next summer. I only see her once a year at her brother-in-law's Labor Day weekend party, and when I heard she was engaged, this song just came out... The sentiment could apply to any young girl, however... "You'll always be this young if love comes first and you stay filled with life."

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…

Thanks to everyone for so many positive comments about this song (and thank you again to Kavin for making it sound so good). So many great dogs out there and we were just lucky enough to adopt one of the best.

fantastic, mans best friend indeed. Big ol' shepard mix, yeah, I had one of those kind once, called him Max, your song is bringing memories to my mind. Thanks for this.

Great vibe on this one from the get-go. Sometimes stating the plain truth is quite simply the best way to write a song. Every word perfectly delivering the honesty of the artist.
First rate track. I may need to learn to play this one... Although whatever I come up with acoustically could never hold a candle to this outstanding track.
This song is about the RPM Challenge; having 28 days (yes, I cheated, this year we get 29) to write and record a 10 song album. The illustrious Ghost Tea (http://soundcloud.com/ghosttea) added some rhymes to make it extra special!

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…
What is less....

Wealthy though our Wage has long been spent.
Treasures here from old world comforts rest .
Don't have no Limousine come calling at my door.
Can't buy my time - while -I am running late.
See, hear…

Fast go the Seconds, Into Days,

The Walls they hold us back

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.

"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,,

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…
Comments on Keith Landry's stuff
great song,, and really great collab
Ah, I thought you wrote it for your daughters. :-( Still gorgeous though!
I'm glad you like this one so much, Tess. I actually wrote it for a friend of mine (a terrific girl) who'll be getting married next summer. I only see her once a year at her brother-in-law's Labor Day weekend party, and when I heard she was engaged, this song just came out... The sentiment could apply to any young girl, however... "You'll always be this young if love comes first and you stay filled with life."
This is so beautiful...*deep sigh*
Just going through February's RPM Challenge songs... Upped the volume on the vocals a bit (hopefully not too much).
Great song about your doggy - Love the slide too.
great song!!
Thanks to everyone for so many positive comments about this song (and thank you again to Kavin for making it sound so good). So many great dogs out there and we were just lucky enough to adopt one of the best.
I love my dogs. all 3. :)

Hey, cool collab, the slide guitar does sound excellent. The whole thing sounds great.
Booty job.
fantastic, mans best friend indeed. Big ol' shepard mix, yeah, I had one of those kind once, called him Max, your song is bringing memories to my mind. Thanks for this.
Any song about Dr.Who is alright in my books. This is a really great song, nicely recorded.
Now That's a great song! Nice collab guys!
beautiful song. and lucky Bandit: he who writes such music can't be a bad man..
Good one guys.
That was fun, thanks Keith. Now I wanna go out and adopt a puppy!
What a great song. Love the slide guitar too.
Oh yeah, MIGHTY collab, fellas!

"And if it leads to pain, then it leads to pain." Great take on setting out on the RPM warpath.
Verrrrrrry nice.
...And just back for another listen to this magnificent little song.
Such a beautifully played guitar... Osckilo in his natural habitat.

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.
