JUST AS WELL
Why is youth so beautiful
And why’s it always wasted on the young
When did my days go flying by
So many passes of the sun
There’s so much I could tell you
So much I’d like to say
It might be just as well
You never heard…
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…
TURN ROUND
All your turns
All your pain
Lessons learned
Will remain
Hiding in the silence of a footstep
Some familiar sound
Walking toward the east before the sunset
Turn round
Lost in thought
Troubled mind
All you’ve fought…
Andy Samford kicking ass on guitar, Brian Martin on bass, and Jim Garn (MTC) on drums... A song that was assembled bass-ackwards.
I'M FIGHTING TIME
Sitting in the movies back in 1985
The first long weekend in July
With Doc and Einstein…

BORN AT THE RIGHT TIME

Underneath the summer sky
Always walked a fine line
Making good and barely…

OUSTANDING collaboration with the great Gary Fox.
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…
OUSTANDING collaboration with the great Gary Fox.
ONE AND ONLY
How many times have you been

In the background
In the corner of their eyes
Never…
FOUND IN THE MOVEMENT
She moves in a spinning reminder
A violent link to the past
Don't you dare try to define her
She might not be big, but she's fast
A release of God-given aggression
An arm near her head in defense
Somewhere just short…
LOST IN THE GRAY
Never ran into the water on a summer day
Never had the time to find a better word to say
Never tried anyway
Never thought I'd ever try to find another way
Never even thought I'd ever really want to stay
Never knew how…

CIVIL WAR
Holding down the borders
What's mine is yours
Folding down the corners
Of pages meaning more
Walking on the wire
Never thought to look for…

DANCING IN THE LIGHT
Got you on my mind
Like every other day
From now until the end of time
I haven’t found a way
To take you dancing in the light
And take you running in the night
I’m thinking you just might
Like to go dancing, dancing…

This is my stadium anthem, the one to close the show with. Everyone put your lighters (or cellphones) in the air and sing along...
I was sick as **** when I recorded it, so my vocals on it are really pretty bad. Ah well, that's rock and roll…
Also recorded when I was very, very sick...I needed to get RPM 2006 kicking into gear, regardless of the state of my voice.
This song was written and recorded on the spot. What you are hearing is what I made up as I went with the record button…
This song has a tale similar to Left Me Wondering. This was made up on the mic, both gtr and vox. Unlike Left Me Wondering however, I went back and overdubbed some backing harmonies and I also did a little extra GTR on it too.
What's fun about…
What's rock and roll without a yee-haw or war-whoop before a solo?
This ragged piece of something or other came from a riff I had laying around for a couple of years. I pieced it together kind of last minute for RPM 2006. It's not bad, a lot…
The urgency of this album comes through in all the best classic rock ways... Truly this album epitomizes the RPM challenge. Listening to this album should be a pre-requisite for every artist's introduction to the RPM Challenge.
...And war whoops are right and proper before the thrashing guitar solo.
This one is a personal favorite of mine, though it got savaged on Garageband.com. Ah well...
It has a lot of parts, lots of gtrs, and boatloads of harmonies. Actually, one guy on Garageband loved it. Maybe some day I will buy him a drink.
Listen…
Great opening riff... Damn, why didn't I get around to listening to this album sooner... Wait, I know... I was so demoralized by the fact that the album title "28 Days" had already been done (just as I was about to name my 2010 RPM effort the same thing) that I shut my computer before I gave the album a listen! Glad I didn't stick with the name... "Keeping Constant Motion" (the eventual album title) pales in comparison to this rock masterpiece.
Turn this one up REALLY FREAKING LOUD!
Written, recorded and polished off in about 45 minutes or so. Clearly my British influence shines forth in this one, right down to the SG through a Vox amp tones and backward riffs here and there. (and…
Reg was talking to Elvis about Frank and he told him something he didn't know.you can have it all then at the end not remember it which is what happened to Frank the grind ground him down a sad ending for a great man......Dementia is a cruel end…
Hey... First one in to comment! Great groove on this one... So how about the words now that you've survived RPM and recovered... I'm wanting to hear 'em.
Ooooh... Digging this one right off the first note. Love the harmonica List it as one of many instruments (including the guitar) that I wish I really knew how to play.
Great arrangement top to bottom!
A song about meeting up with each other this year for some music and booze next week.
Lyrics-
i need some space
i need some time
just to rehearse
for the viking dance
what should i wear
what should i bring
what will we sing…
music marcello prive words oldrottenhead
originally this was an instrumental called el arca from El arca CD recorded by Lucho Avolio and marcelo prive (from argentina) in 1998. then james higgins aka oldrottenhead(from scotland)heard it and had…
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…
I wrote these lyrics last year. And I've been meaning to put them to music, but, if it ain't one thing it's another, and here we are....
Well, this here started out as a recording from an old cassette tape recorder of a jam we did some 6 or 7…
Here's proof. Proof that things are a bit mysterious in my studio.
Late last night my Bass Cajon all of a sudden decided to start accompanying me on its own - without me touching it. At first I thought that some apparitional bass player had…

Hey Norm,
Thanks for the okay on playing along. I'll try to find the time to work on it this week. Thankfully, summer vacation is on the way and I can really spend more time recording...
And thanks for coming by and listening to some of my stuff. If you really want to get the flavor of this February's complete CD, check out the playlist "Late December" if you'd like to hear this year's RPM album in order rather than back to front.

Amazing lyrics... Moving story-telling. Keith - your best RPM ever!
Another outright beauty! Fabulous blend!
Everyone loves Andrea. :) Love what she brings to this track - softness and light. You sound amazing together. Bittersweet and very beautiful.

Clever continuation of themes throughout this album...tender lyricism also...very bewitching.
Playful love song - brought a smile.
Joyful build! Great collab! This is blossoming in to one of my favourite KL tracks ever.
Love that frisky riff - laid back loveliness for a lazy Sunday afternoon.

Great acoustic sound... And what a voice! I'll be sure to come by and do some serious listening one of these nights...
Great album closer... First rate album, Gary. The urgency is just outstanding. This song might need some future covering.
...And another great acoustic track... Now I'm certain that an unplugged album is in order.
Great unplugged track... It may be time for an all-acoustic album, Gary!

All right... Time for a classic Gary Fox night. Great opening track. Love the driving beat, man... I can't turn it up loud enough.
Man, how did I miss this one? Great track guys.

Great performance, T! This is yet another outstanding track from a brilliant musical mind!
Wow. Such perfect simplicity to this arrangement. Just outstanding.
I just had to fave this, once again for the masterful contributions of MTC's Jim Garn.
Listened to, faved, commented on, and downloaded. Outstanding.
Well... Since I can't fave it again, I'll comment again. This truly is a brilliant track.
Faved at 0:03... Wish I could fave again every five seconds thereafter.
Hey, thanks for coming by to have a listen! I'll be finding the time to return the favor soon!
Faved at the first notes.
Excellent track, Norm... I may need to mess with this as well!
