... "Which one?" "Look at your list!" Oh, man ... haven't laughed that hard in days. A metonym for a magic moment!
This is so great! Love that you uploaded this. I long to learn what I need to learn so I can one day play some of this music, myself. Sometimes, one forgets what one wants to do, and the rush of an inspiring reminder is the most wonderful feeling.
Thing is ... there's a lot to learn to play this music, as well as this music is played, here in this beautiful track, and I think a lot of it is almost beyond knowing. Unless one can somehow learn to be open to the ineffable ... maybe. Don't know yet!

You cannot beat a good jig ,I got hooked on them when I heard the 'Mooncoin jig' on the Lp Commoners Crown by Steeleye Span in the 70's.They,like the blues are deceptive ihn that they seen at first sight simplistic in their arrangement and structure BUT the true complexity of them lies in the virtuosity and interperetation of those playing them.
This is an impressive little set and I'm hooked again !

Straight ahead stone city electric blues for an old friend who used to spend hours spinning BB King and Mike Bloomfield records for me. Recorded back sometime at the end of 2006 on old analog equipment
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
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…

Solo acoustic guitar recorded January 2nd 2009. Hope to do a longer more developed version at some point ,but for now just a short version to learn more about using new DAW software.

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.

The old tin geetar...
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.

Nice songwriting. Enjoyed that!
Quite the trip! Wonderful groove!
Damn- I would love to be able to do stuff like this. This is great!
That's a beauty Norm! Great stuff!
Cool! That's a Floyd tune that I'm not familiar with. Have to go check it out
Sounds like you still can to me! Nice jam man!
Gorgeous! Blues with lots of other flavors mixed in
Gorgeous vocals!
Damn fine slide work!
Most excellent! That Rocks!
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!
