Bookending the "Late December" CD, this song about my little girls on Christmas morning holds a special place in my heart. Thanks to Sam and Mick for making it perfect. One Perfect Day Go to sleep my blue-eyed girl The sun is on its…

A crazy little song written while considering Ed Robertson's plane crash from a few years back, "Any Landing" is given much legitimacy by Ashley's incredible voice and Kavin Allenson's (Kavin S. Acoustic Church) guitar. Any Landing Learning…

Another formerly poorly recorded song... Really a piece of poetry that was put to music (a hit-or-miss approach for me that seemed to work well on this one). Three Times More Dad plants his spring garden For a good summer bounty he's…

When the girl in the room is just too cute for me to concentrate on whatever it was I was trying to do. Anything Done How am I supposed to get anything done With you looking like that I'm so far gone I'm forgetting where I'm at How…

Inspired by a picture of my sister at the top of the Estes Cone (I was too out of shape to get up there myself... something I need to do when I return to RMNP). From the Top of the World On the top of the world Nothing 'round 'cept mountain…

Roughly recorded years ago... A little more properly recorded now. Pass On Love Falling off the fence in year twelve of your lifetime Landing hard'll change your view of time The minutes left in life will count down slowly I need to…

So I'm watching Ken Burns' documentary on the National Parks and realize that I'd never written that John Muir song I had been meaning to get to... So I got to it. Tim Alexander (Letter Seventeen) mentioned that he thought the song needed a…

Vocal excellence from girl named Sam... Do you really need any other reason to listen? A Little Playing Blue sky Only getting clearer Blue eyes Like looking in a mirror I can tell just what you're thinking By that tiny little flicker…

A few years back (when I lived it Texas), I drove out to an open field to watch the Geminids meteor shower... I really need to remember to look up at the night sky more often. The Showers of December Lying flat on my back Looking…

The contrast of this aging "summer boy" and his outdoors-loving daughter who is more than happy to run out into the cold. Late December Late December The nights get so long Turning embers In the dark before dawn Late December For…

Well, about six months ago, I uploaded a rough study called "Songwriting Day One." I wasn't sure where the song would go, but words came in January just in time for this year's RPM album... And before I forget... Curse you Bm!!! GENEVIEVE…

The explanation for this is a bit long, so if you're just looking for the lyrics, switch over to "about" and click the "view more" box below. So I'm eating fish and chips at an Irish restaurant waiting to play an open mic in Saratoga over at…

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…

A slightly destructive children's song... But I suspect that many of you have tried some of the things mentioned. I have a great idea up in my head Let's try it out this afternoon We'll tie the dog up to the sled Pretend we're launching…

Tharek sent me this beautifully played guitar arrangement and told me to have at it with the spirit of Christmas, so I wrote and recorded this little message of hope and peace. Somehow when I write music with and for fellow musicians across the…

Well, after a couple of nights of recording, this is my effort for RPM's Holiday Challenge. Personally, O Holy Night is my favorite of all Christmas Songs. I added a little winter love song intro... COME WALK WITH ME Come walk with me in the…

So Jim of "Movement to Contact" asked me a couple of weeks ago to send him something... I had no idea how ridiculously good the final result would come out. KL: Vocals, lyrics, left side rhythm guitar and picking MTC: Lead guitar, bass…

The next step in the progression of this song... It still needs quite a bit of cleanup (and some extra arranging), but it's getting there. Hey, everyone writes songs about falling in love (which for me was, like, seventeen years ago), so I thought…

Is it incomplete? Yes... Does it need a whole lot of cleaning up? Yes... Are there lyrics? Yes... Does it need more arrangement? Yes (but that's coming with a little collaboration on the way)... So, yes the title is the actual title to…

The opening to a new little ditty... More to come as it progresses.
