Written while watching a good friend going through the run-up to a divorce. This song isn't a whole lot of fun, and for that I apologize... But when all you have is twenty-eight days, you have to go with what you've got.
The title track from my 2007/2008 effort... This little song represents the main reason why I started playing seriously... So I could let my kids know how much they meant to me.
See you in the morning
Watch you in the sunrise
Springtime's in…

Just another cover of one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite musicians. Yes, the entire song is written in haiku. I'm not really sure how she does it, but Sam can make words dance.

An old one off of the never-to-be-released "Reminder of Winter in April" CD. There are just some days that you wake up and head off into your day knowing that you're "walking into the fire."
"Take with you only what you need to survive."

My wife woke up one morning and said "I had a dream about (someone we'd just lost) the other night." When I asked her if she was okay, she replied, "Yeah, it was good to see her again."

Great track... Rings so true.
I have been there my friend, and man does this song hit home so perfectly! And the outstanding upbeat nature of the song is just a perfect counterpoint to the harsh sentiments of the insane person.
I wrote this one after visiting my daughter in Daytona Beach and seeing all the homeless people ,I live in a small town in central NY I had never seen homeless people before it was a shock
I'm really thinking of renaming the upcoming "Burning Wood... The Bonfire Sessions" album "Stealing Genius." I write something simple, put down some picking at the beginning, some acoustic guitar and some vocals, and send it off to people with…
I Got the Idea for this tune when I left Geir at Stanstead Airport.
Recorded it Last night after a Gig....
For the Folk Fest...

REALLY clean work here! Great production quality on this track, Brian!... And clearly a great deal of time was spent on this... And the fun created truly does come through.
Well done!

Turning embers

Thank you so much M.T.C. Music award committee for recognizing such a relatively simple acoustic track from such a relatively simple person... (puts hand over mic to ask presenter, "Are you sure I really won this... Did you read the wrong name?")...
I'd like to thank my new laptop for not crashing during the 2011 RPM process, and not developing an editing mind of it's own as the last one had. I'd also like to thank time, seeing as how I needed so friggin' much of it to get the fingerpicked portions of this song eventually done right.
A big thank you to the inspiration for the songs, my always-ready-to-go-no-matter-how-absurdly-cold-it-is daughters. And a special thank you to my beautiful (and extremely tolerant) wife Kimberly for taking these same terrific daughters off my hands during my February vacation (sorry, Florida, for the pink invasion).
Where's the after party!
Once upon a rainy day, we were out in the farm fields waiting on the sun to break through the gloom. We arrived in this dark world naked and were washed clean waiting for the sun. Little darling, here it comes...
I can always count on a little slice of perfection from Peter... Perfectly crafted song, my friend! I truly envy your mastery of your voice, virtuosity with your instruments, and flawless ear for arrangement.
This song is written by Keith Landry.
He asked me to sing it and off course I wanted that!!
Thank you Keith!
About "Keep It Simple (with Inge)"
Well, I wrote this song as a note to my wife (who makes lists from time to time). I thought…
Hey superstar! So glad to see this one posted on your page!... I'll be finding some time in the coming weeks to record yet another version (with my vocals alongside yours), but I don't think I could possibly top Willem's!
Along with her magnificent harmonizing vocal tracks, Inge sent me one track which was crashed by her 2-year old son Willem. He pretty much takes over the whole operation at about 3:00.
In the background you can hear the original rough vocals…
(@Reefwalker) I may go back and record a different version with the two of us singing together. It is daunting to try to keep up with her incredible vocal talents, though!
Corbin,
Just swinging by again to have a listen to this little piece of perfection. Hey, how many of the instruments are you playing on this? I'd love to hear the recording process for this song. It truly is one of the most perfectly crafted, arranged, and performed songs I have ever heard.
Be good and keep charging toward greatness!
Keith
My oldest is a serious mountain hiker, herself. I'll be playing this beautiful song for her later... If you want to hear my version of a hiking song (a day with my middle and youngest when they were really little), come on over for a listen!

I've got a bunch of other songs over there written about hiking in the mountains... But none so tremendously arranged as this gem of yours.
This evolved out of an exercise in a workbook I just got on music composition. The original task was to write a melody in the Dorian mode about water...
Oooooh... This is NICE. Faved almost instantly. I really will need to give your songs the serious time they deserve.
OUTSTANDING track... I have a feeling they're all gonna be this good.
Comments on Keith Landry's stuff

Two of my favorite artists in one song! Great job, Keith!
Awesome tune ,well done.

A good one for "one of those days". Thanks!
Lovely soothing tones you've got there, Mr. Landry.
I like complexity in the guitar rythmn. And the elasticity in the phrasing - nice.
Love the chord progression on this one. Great stuff man!
Nice! I think I work in that industry!
Nice one dig it
Nice one mate I enjoyed this very much. Thanks for your recent comment mate. Cheers.
Another fine job, Mr. Landry.
Great work! Awesome warm-up for RPM!
Glad you like it... You should go listen to the original if you haven't had a chance yet.

Excellent arrangement!!! Love the acoustic sound. Faved when that third guitar dropped in at just the right time.
Faved for Kavin's slide guitar goodness!
How the hell did I miss this one! I gotta get my head out of my ass and swing by the osckilo part of the world more often! Well done, my friend!

What incredible music, Craig! I can't believe I've missed out on these perfect tunes for so long!

Faved instantly!
I'm always blown away by what comes out of your mind, through your hands, in into a microphone. Such good sounds... Always such good sounds.
Oh goodness... How have I missed this all this time?!?!?! AMAZING.
My friend, you have a knowledge of your instrument that I could never hope to have. Magnificent piece of music.
Faved instantly.
Very nice haunting arrangement. Love the guitar coming in at around 1:20-ish. Really deftly handled orchestration throughout.
Oooooh... This is NICE. Faved almost instantly. I really will need to give your songs the serious time they deserve. OUTSTANDING track... I have a feeling they're all gonna be this good.
