Mining the archives a bit. This is an alternate take of my "Jimi Jam" from a couple of years ago. Live to 2 tracks with the Jamman. Really only sounds OK when cranked up loud enough that your eardrums threaten to meet in the middle. LOL!!
Kinda rough. I'm uploading this mainly to share a guitar technique I've been working on. I'm wearing a slide on my picking hand and using it to alter pitches in single line phrases. There's a lot more can be done with this technique that I've…
Maybe I missed a career scoring for no budget spaghetti westerns, because this is what this reminds me of. Done live a couple weeks ago with the Taylor and a floor full of toys and loopers.
This track is from the 1986 Scartaglen album "The Middle Path". The first tune "Jezaig" was composed by Breton musician Gilles Le Bigot. The second tune is one of the "Cantigas de Santa Maria" and is attributed to King Alfonso X of Spain

Solo acoustic finger picking thing I've been working on for a while. Sometime around 1968 I started studying with Mr. George Bennett who taught me the rudiments of finger picking. Later when we played some gigs together he also taught me the rudiments…

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.
I found a cassette tape the other day from 1991 which turned out to be live to 2 track demos that Scartaglen did in the studio in preparation for our 3rd and (as it turned out) final album. This tune didn't make the cut for the record but I always…

This is one of those tracks that if you drift off to sleep while listening to it, you're almost guaranteed to have pleasant dreams. The fidelity of the recording is fantastic.
An experiment I recorded yesterday with a rig I put together for more or less ambient sounds using two loopers and nearly every effects unit I own. I have no idea who Clark was but he owned the '58 Harmony Stratotone that I used on this cut. His…

OK we lost power at a critical point in recording for RPM. This one was written and recorded the day I had to pack up all my recording gear and borrow a room at a local public business which was on a different power grid. The wind had caused some…
I was dreaming one night, and this song came, it was part of what I was going through in the dream. I woke up with the emotion, the words, and the melody still going. Got out of bed (Like 4AM! ugh!) went down to the studio and recorded the melody…
A jazz tune featuring flute, sax, and one slightly out of whack Fender. All instruments played by Barry Morgan and the song was mixed and mastered in his home studio.
Feeling a bit drained by the 2010 RPM Challenge and overwhelmed by the wide assortment of music it leaves in its wake, I recorded this tune. At first, this was an attempt to experiment with creating my own convolution reverb samples, but it turned…
I'm including this, beacause I want to be able to say, and demonstrate, just what Steve Buzzell, my musical partner and collaborator means to several of the songs that are either here already, or will follow. This is all Steve. In all the songs…
I wrote this piece of music with the help of my grandson who is interested in making techno types of music. It started only to show him the various tools that come standard in Cakewalk Sonar. Not to bad for a teaching session.
This is a feeble attempt to play some classical Spanish guitar. It took two takes, to make one guitar part, haha. I am no Tommy Emmanuel, and that will be obvious when you listen to this one.
This is just the beginning on this song. We haven't put the bridge in yet, it was a jam between Steve and I (Steve played that awesome Sax track, and about three guitar parts, organ..)It was just too much fun, but still... undone.
This was a piece I made with Reichatron back in January and, at the time, didn't upload.
I had the odd experience of momentary unfamiliarity, enjoyment, and a sense of "Did I make this?"
Listening to it again I enjoy the way it drifts in…
this was my last rpm song...i had a little mandolin riff and threw on the kazoo (which broke in the last verse), and it reminded me a happy bee buzzing around...and there you have it!

this song made me pick up my guitar . thanks for inspiring.
This is sooooooo good. Quick thanks to Kavin for bringing my attention back to this Kirk Lynch masterpiece.
This is very cool. I forgot I had listened to this. There's this warm familiarity. Your Palette is very broad.
Agree - it's a score tune - and not just spaghetti westerns (whatever the heck that is). Luv the backwards delay.
cool! I enjoyed this live performance very much.
Every time I hear that guitar first come in, it's so sweet. Kudos, friend.
I have no idea how this is done,its great
The panning on this song sent a chill down my spine - nice work here!

I gotta break out the DL4 and the looper again and figure out how you do some of this stuff. Great sounds man!
Sounds great!
Beautiful!
Lovely!
Nice one! Great writing!
Soulful vocals and the sax is awesome! Love it! Did you know that there's about 3 minutes or so of dead space at the end of the mp3?
Heavy! Well done!
That's some wild sounding stuff!
Damn Heavy! I'm liking this!
HAHA! This is great fun! Can't help but smile!
Way too much fun!
