An unusual traditional tune from the first Scartaglen album way back in 1984. Going through stuff the other day and ran across the LP and couldn't even remember the tune or having recorded it. I played guitar on this track
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

Something completely different- Uilleann pipes(Irish bagpipes) and synth. I wrote this tune over 20 years ago in the style of traditional Irish slow airs. It was recorded way back in 1991 for an album that's been out of print for over 15 years…
This is probably the last of this stuff from the archives that I'll upload. Rescued from a cassette tape of a live performance with former band mates in Scartaglen. These tunes are popular down in the Southwest of Ireland. Michael(Fiddle) and…
Had these backing tracks laying around on my drive for a while and didn't know what to do with them, so grabbed my Ebow and a fretless electric that I built for myself a couple years ago and had a go. My fretless playing is really in its infancy…
My first attempt at a Blumlein or Mid/Side recording. This one is actually a mid/side recording as I used a directional mic in combo with a figure 8 ribbon mic set at 90 degrees from the main mic. Thanks to Pat Broaders for the loan of the ribbon…

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…
Lovely sounds. I can't figure out how you're using the slide on the picking hand - or I can't here where it might be in use... but just as a piece of music and playing this is beautiful.

What happened after too much time on youtube watching live vids of "voodoo chile" Noisy obnoxious and very cathartic for me! Live to 2tracks with the Jamman
Sitting around in my shop a couple of days ago with the Goodall and the Zoom H4N. First time I've really messed with using the internal mics on the H4N in multitrack mode

Very cool guitars going on, creating a cool mellow atmosphere taking one into an upbeat movement of the mind and then back, Great !!!, having a cool listen. "G"
A good friend and percussionist Norm Harris contributed percussion to this track – A Cast of Billions - so I ripped out all of the midi percussion and used Norm’s percussion, added a track where I speak Evan’s poem and did some remastering…

My mother was telling me a story the other day and at one point she used the phrase "I used to could..." and I thought it would make a good title for a funk jam, so I went home and recorded this. Hope you like it.

Did this one sometime in 2009 on a Boss MBR. I'd recently joined what became Songcrafters.org and PJ (Wiley) posted a bass/drum track for us ubiquitous blues guitarists to solo over.
I decided to go a different route…
This is a tune I picked up from alonetone a while back. Johnny did a piano version of "I'd Love to Change the World", and Michael Thomas from Cave Street added the outstanding vocals.
When Michael told me he was doing the vox on it, I wanted…
I haven't tried the vox pipes in a few months. I've been sickly and singing was out of the question. After 24 days of instrumental RPM, I started getting back to 99%.
Might as well sing right? Better yet , let me trash the greatest song of…

This was 2009, and it was a photo contest to provide seven pictures of a story and all that. I, together with other, more talented photographers, was in.
In parallel with the images I have written short seven neo…
Superb! I seem to remember some of these from before. Nice to have them all in one place! The section from about 2 to 3 minutes is a stand out for me. Lovely!
Finally going to end this RPM with a slop fest.
Pretty disgusted with my efforts. I did have some fun though.
I feel like I just gave birth to a full set of Ludwigs.
High gloss black of course.
Electric blues. Recorded 2007. I was learning how to use my DAW and trying to figure out how a one-man-band could get to sound like a bunch of old bluesers in a sweaty bar...

Recorded Jan-Feb 2011.
I wrote it many years ago, never thought I'd ever do anything with it.
I intended to record this with just an acoustic and my new EDB (electric upright bass…
Great track! It's really hard to pull off the one man band thing convincingly, but you did a hell of a job of it here. Great vocals! Drums sound like the real thing too.

Wow, you're making sounds that are just so expressive. I've had a great time listening to just a selection this evening.
Lovely sounds. I can't figure out how you're using the slide on the picking hand - or I can't here where it might be in use... but just as a piece of music and playing this is beautiful.

As one of the members of the Ellington orchestra said upon first hearing Django "Well F**k my britches"
That got the blood moving this morning!
Nice Man! One of my favorite Heep tunes as well!
Superb! I seem to remember some of these from before. Nice to have them all in one place! The section from about 2 to 3 minutes is a stand out for me. Lovely!
Pretty damn cool! Dig the opening riff! Sounds very cathartic!
Stunningly beautiful song Keith!
How Beautiful!
This has a hell of a swagger to it! Fine sounding guitar tones!
Great track! It's really hard to pull off the one man band thing convincingly, but you did a hell of a job of it here. Great vocals! Drums sound like the real thing too.
Damn nice piece of work there Dave! That guitar just explodes at about 2:18!
