Created all in one go with nothing to write on while I walked the Hilton Head beach in the rain last spring, this gentle little song more came through me than from me.
ROLLING ON BY
I had an old soul when I was a young man
Turning my phrases…
This pretty much sums it all up for me I guess.

Chasing the daylight
On the horizon
Down to the sea
The tilt of the…
Well, this may be the final tweaking of this nice little sing along song...
I sent this fun little sing along off to Jim of MTC fame, and once again he has outdone himself... And I can't thank him and his wife (who appears covertly) enough…
So I dropped the guitar into DADGAD tuning for the first time, threw a capo on the third fret, rifled off something nice, and sent it to Movement to Contact for his contribution, got it back, did some mixing...
Here is the result.
YOU NEED…
Just a couple of different vocal choices so the vocal drop between the verses and the chorus isn't so drastic...
LAYING LOW THIS CHRISTMAS
Times are still tough this December
And money, it don't grow on trees
I've watched 'em all fall…

Sometimes there's an image you just can't get out of your head. I don't know this girl, but I'm sure she exists.
CALL COLLECT TO GOD
She’s been chasing rainbows with the wind in her hair
Spending years running to the end to find there…
I fear the day when it will be the last one.
ANOTHER GOODBYE
I don’t know where to start, but I guess I’ll try
I can speak from my heart, and I’ll try not to cry
I won’t see you enough, and we know time’ll fly
Then we’ll fall out of…
Love is worth a chance, don't you think?
THE ONE THING
Love isn’t always the way it should be
Man, it can pull you right down to your knees
Still it’s the only way you can get free
Take it from me
Love isn’t something that you should…
Yeah, I'm pretty much willing to do anything for you.
ALL OF ME
I always thought that only fools
Could fall for love at first sight
But when I caught you in the corner of my eye
I knew they might’ve had it right
You wouldn’t think a…

I had an old soul when I was a young man
Turning my phrases…
Yes, the ocean has it's own ideas.
THE MIND OF THE OCEAN
I never should’ve wrote that letter
And thrown it off into the sea
It’s never gonna get any better
And now it’s so easy to see
It never was meant to be
I never should’ve grabbed…
Be careful. She's pretty powerful.
SHE WALKS
She walks on the leaves without making a sound
She walks like she can’t hear the dragons all around
She walks and the sun stays a pace or two behind
She walks with your secrets in the back…
You'll tell me when you're ready.
DON’T WORRY ‘BOUT THAT RIGHT NOW
Where have you been is all they’ve been asking
Where are you going is what I’d like to know
Why are you running when nobody’s chasing?
What are you hiding? What can’t…
Welcome to my day on the river with Karen, folks.
INTO THE LIGHT (THIS LAZY RIVER)
Take me down to the river
Throw the jackets in the hull of the boat
Let the current deliver
To the bend at the bridge where it’s harder to float
What…
You'll tell me when you're ready.

The title track for this year's RPM album. One mic. Live take. Please forgive the missed notes.
LETTERS
Writing while I drive with voices in my mind
Passed along by friends I’ve never met
Trying to stay alive in one place in time…

CIVIL WAR
Holding down the borders
What's mine is yours
Folding down the corners
Of pages meaning more
Walking on the wire

Gary and I did something good.
ONE AND ONLY
How many times have you been captured by a camera
With no one really knowing who you are
Caught in the sight lines in the background
In the corner of their eyes
Never looking closely at the…
My first completed 2013 RPM track. Thanks to Kavin for turning a simple acoustic song into what you hear today.
ONE LAST DANCE
I never got to tell you what's been on my mind
It might be just as well now that we're running out of time…
rpm #4,, i love watching the local birds,, in winter they seem a bit more eager, in my imagination,, they must spend more of their time sitting around their wood stoves, munching on seeds and telling stories of summer days, all the while as the…

Damn. GREAT sound. Then again, why would I expect anything less?
Best song on the album (well, at least so far... I've got three tracks to go).
Faved within seconds. Classic Anchorage Drift... Edgy and melodic at the same time. Sooooooo good.
Damn. Perfectly arranged.
Ahhhhhh... Getting my Anchorage Drift fix.
Faved instantly. This. Is. Brilliant.
Faved instantly.
No words needed.
Jana and Andrea are just out-of-control good.
Faved instantly. After ten seconds, I wished I could fave it again.
Yeah, Gary's that good.
I had to fave it for Kavin's brilliant bass and slide work. I can't imagine this song without it.
Verrrrry nice, Richard... Captured the mood perfectly.
You're the best.
Ha! That's some edgy baby you're rocking to sleep.
Sounds excellent, Kavin!
Faved within ten seconds. Damn, that's good.
So my question is... Who's operating the lights?
I miss the dome. Those five years in Houston were good ones.
Hooray for unscripted!
