Rough sketch of a proposed dreamy 12 string piece that I couldn't pull off on the 12 string so did this quick electric version with vocal pads. Not sure of the recording quality- sounds OK in my cans and kinda crappy on my monitors. Recorded march…
This is beautiful. I accidentally left music playing on my computer and when I came back all was quiet in the house except for this song being played. It was moving.
From the archives. Traditional Irish slow air. Myself on the Uilleann pipes with synth backing. This was recorded at a concert here in Weston back in I think '92. Originally recorded on an ancient 4 track machine and then transferred to cassette…
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…

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…

So I'm eating fish and chips at an Irish restaurant waiting to play an open mic in Saratoga over at…
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…

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!
