Last of the archives for now. A set of reels from the Last Nights Fun album. I did pipes, whistle and guitar on the last tune in the set. There's a live version of this up here too. This is the studio cut

Also from the "Last Nights Fun" album. This tune was written by Mike Dugger who played mando and fiddle. I think we did a really nice job of arranging this tune in retrospect. Roger Landes on guitar in the first half. I think I did the bouzouki…
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

More from the archives. This was the opening cut on Scartaglen's 1986 album "The Middle Path". A double jig, a slip jig, and 2 reels. I played bouzouki and Uilleann pipes on this cut

More from the way back machine. A set of polkas from the 1992 Scartaglen album "Last Nights Fun". Former band mate Mike Dugger wrote the first 2 tunes and I can't remember where we got the last tune. There is a live version of this up here. This…

This is probably my last track for this year's RPM Challenge (leaving it incomplete for 2011). I'm kind of worn out and not feeling super inspired this year and I sort of…
This song was born on the 18th of Feb. 2011. It was the last piece I wrote/recorded for the challenge. It was a very sad day for me, almost as if all my usual winter sadness was concentrated and crammed into one day. The process of writing and…
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…
One more to go and I'm slapping them together.
This is 3 layered drum loops. Some dupes and some play along.
I've managed to grow a huge beard this RPM.
I think I'm starting to look like Gandolf. :)
Early seventies type electric blues thing.
Here's some lyrics:
Bye Bi Baby
Sorry to see you fly
Bye Bi Baby
Sorry to see you fly
You wanted the one thing I couldn't give you
No matter how hard I tried
Bye Bi Baby
We had some fun…
bit of a key change, and temperament,
just as small note: the opening and closing strings really buzz cool in headphones, something i though i might give a try too
This one is more of a reading set to music of part of a piece i wrote about a place i used to live. We used to walk most days down into the valley and i long to be back there, hopefully one day i will ...
There are a few fluffs in the reading…
my contribution/offering to this years RPM...Does it ever happen that angels or devils perhaps walk among us mortals here on our earth?? Winter Nacht is a 11 act dialogue between two travelers who meet in the winter twilight, on a road in the…
This was written as part of a concept album inspired by the work of Pablo Picasso ,Trevor Lewis is a member of Songcrafters music forum , he came up with the idea of writing poems to 12 Picasso paintings , then put them out for people to put music…
Final version
Guitar, mandolin and voice.
this doesn't fit with my rpm project AT ALL so i may not use it but i like the way it came out. I recorded the music for Bethan Mathis' RPM project but she didn't have time to use it (her album is…

John Blythm and Jon Ruse with most fingers in the pie. Mustachioed (on One Side) WIllie Lee Harlot on trumpet.
Because ve like for to make ze Franch girls to sufFAIR, no?
I started off with an idea to record some harmonized diminished arpeggios and the other riffs just happened along the way. Inspired by Dethklok, hope you like it.
Inspired by the scene in the movie Hustle & Flow where they make the song "Whoop That Trick," I made this jam based (loosely) on the main riff to that song with extra stuff. The strange thing about the main riff is that I'm playing (low) octaves…
Comments on kirklynch's stuff
Wow Kirk, this is just incredible. I need a pint of Harp to go with it.
Oooooh! May I have this??
Now that has me jigging about the kitchen this morning
You're sure right about the arrangement -- it's perfect. A really sweet tune.
Kirk, I really love this one, especially Jezaig. Those guitars - Just phenomenal!
Skill, beauty and atmosphere. Wonderful stuff. Bee
Wow! This is the real deal!
I can see one huge downloadfest in my future.
I demand more archives immediately.
This is a treat to listen to this morning!
Now that gets my energy flowing!!!! Time for a Sunday morning dance
Loved from the first few seconds. Always class!
(Pipes and whistles are my fave bits.)
Coolinfinity. Such masterful musicianship!
Oh my!!!!!!! More please.
Great to listen to your pipes and whistles again Kirk!
Excellent great sound
Very cool
This is great mate, really dig it

Very cool track man! If you ever achieve that sound in your head tell me how you did it because I never have either!
Lovely song man!
I remember the rough version. This came out great Keith!
Cool sounds man! Careful Bethan- sounds like there may be aliens lurking in that soapy water!
I love anything where the 9nth is emphasized in a chord. One of my favorites of yours!
Nice! Acoustic guitar in the lead? Interesting effects on it!
Damn- I almost missed this one. Great stuff Rick! One of your best in my opinion
Ha! Brilliant!
Can't wait to hear the rest of these. Beautiful! Some of the strings almost sound like they have a touch of distortion on them and it's a cool effect
This is great Reg!
Great piece of work this is!
Great production and vocals! Very Nice!
Just makes me feel good!
Very cool jam!
Gorgeous!
Rough or not this is a great song man!
Ah Yes- Mustachioed Willy Lee Harlot. There's a name I haven't heard in years. Master of understatement he was!
You'll have to excuse me while I search the floor for my jaw! I needed a good ass kicking like this this morning!
Poor Johnny! That woman wasn't worth it
Good Lord! That's heavy as hell! And you like my phrasing? I wish I had half your chops!
