Au Naturale! A song a friend of mine wrote. Performed by me, of course. All recorded on the Boss Micro BR. It's a song about sharing. Very rough, raw and unplugged. Kind of embarrassed to "share" it - Please excuse the mistakes and hacks! One…
A song about falling asleep on the couch, so there is no mystery to it! But the loose change is in the cushions, lights and tv are on, and the oven has been set to 350 for several hours :)
One vocal & acoustic take with a harmony and noodle…
After I read into RPM and understood that anybody could take the challenge, I joined up. I'm starting with a clean slate, so I hope I can finish! This a WIP of the first tune I'm working on. Everything I do will be recorded/produced with the Boss…

Ha, that's funny Bethan - I just finished reading "Down and out in Paris and London" and thought "Instead of meeting up with an old friend, how about an old flame?"
Lyrics I have so far:
Been traveling my crooked way
My feelings like
An unleashed dog on the run
I've roamed a mile in those shoes
I'm really glad
Those sidewalkin' days are done
When I look at you
The peace flag flies
And I want to call you the one
But those eyes are devious, girl
You remember when
We had our days in the sun

"I'll know it when I see it"
Is what she finally said
"If there was some other way
I'd do that instead"
And blindly without question
I followed down that trail
That led into the hidden night
Beyond the parted veil

This song…
Since Norm found himself in an acoustically great room, full of unfinished cabinets I couldn't help but add some acoustic guitar, crank it up and hope you like it Norm!
We went to visit my dad at his assisted living facility and they have a Yamaha Clavinova on which I improvised for a half hour to provide some entertainment. This is a ~ 3 minute excerpt from about half way through. This was recorded on my Zoom…
electric mandolin on 3 tracks - 2 bowed (right and left) with viola bow and 1 strummed just a bit and mostly ebowed (center)
Washburn bass
voice with effects
drum loops sliced and diced
This is a pop dance tune about a woman seeking to find a good man to spend the rest of her life with, but she doesn't want a "wannabe", but she wants a real man with real love.
I'm not sure if I'll keep the song title. Anyway, this song is more about feeling I guess. At times the song feels happy, then creepy, then sad or dissonant. How does this song make you feel?! Thanks for listening!
Hey, bro - Good to hear from you! Yeah, the rhythm git was a little hot because I always plug it in direct - All I have to record with for electric songs is pretty much an old Epi SG and a Boss Micro BR. Gnasty's lead was mic'ed with an SM57.
Anyway, catch you on the flip!
Well, I realized while listening to so many other great rough cuts and demos (and how much I enjoyed listening to them), that it was about time I contributed to the process. Rather than posting only completed songs, I decided to put up the rough…

I like the Mark Lanegan style vox.
This is brilliant - I love the blend between your awesome guitar and Normy's fine cabinetry masterpiece!
Yes - I love it.
Oh, yeah! I dig it.
Deeelish - Very nice! Pro and radio worthy.
Love your stuff. Excellent songwriting.
Only a minute into it and already predetermined to be completely badass!!! Killer tune!
I love crazy improv fridays...
To bits, bro!
This is a great Fri afternoon jingle. Makes me want to drink a boatload of beer!
I'm really diggin' this album, bro!
Yes, NH is taking AT by storm! Very brisk and edgy one, bro! Got the blood pumping!

This sounds like it could be a lost song from "The Cooler" soundtrack. I dig it!
Not sure how I missed this - Very nice! Great harmonica and piano, and I like the guitar effect. It's similar to the "Grinder" patch on my Micro BR.
Yes, this is going to be a good one. Ha, B what? I just retune strings for that kind of thing!
Good stuff - Now I wish I had not listened to this first. I'll have to catch the album in its entirety asap!
Very swanky, bro - Love the theme too!
Always liked this one.
Diggin' through the archives!
