My cigar box guitar makes its debut.
This seemed a good idea
But you bit more than you can chew
Now that you've sized things up
It's decision time for you
At this critical juncture
It's time for you to choose
We're waiting for your final word…
There's a story here. One day I'll share it.
G - D - Am7 - C
In the year of upheaval
Pick up and start a life anew
Stare down the possibilities
Wonder what I'm meant to do
Am I the one
Who will be king?
In the year of betrothal
Coming into…
You may be shocked to learn that I own a Rickenbacker 360 and I love R.E.M.
Intro/verses: G-C-Am7-Cmaj7
Chorus: Em-G-C-D
Bridge: Fmaj7-C/G-Em
What if you found you had
Your own time bomb
Never sure if and when
It could go off
Safe again
At…

I grew up in the 80's. Can you tell?
Em7 - Bm7 - Am7 - Bm7
Heading out on the floor
Act like you've been here before
Eyes are watching from all around
To see what's up with the new kid in town
Is it true that he has all the moves?

My George Harrison phase....

Head in the clouds, caught in the lavender haze

Another 80's flashback
They say the laws of motion
Don't apply to emotions
But I say check your equation
You may not need so much persuasion
If you want to be the one
Who I take home tonight
You should get your back up off the wall
Some things…

Some thoughts on the growth of social media....
E-E A-B
Thank you for telling me that your cat threw up on the rug today, and
Thank you for telling me that Starbucks didn't make your coffee the right way, and
Thank you for telling me that…
I'm lucky enough to have a lot of talented friends helping me out on this song.

So much to worry about
And you feel overcome now
By your worries and your doubts

My first RPM cover of 2011. This one is "Like This" by The Missed Connections. I seem to have taken a darker turn with the song than Amelia did. It wasn't intentional, but it seems to be what I do when I cover her songs.
This is my contribution to the Angie Fights Crime project titled "Sunny Sorta"...." It's 12 songs written by A.F.C. and performed by 12 different artists.
I chose Honky Tonk Prison because I knew it would rock and roll :)
So CRANK IT UP…
Well, this may be the final tweaking of this nice little sing along song...
I sent this fun little sing along off to Jim of MTC fame, and once again he has outdone himself... And I can't thank him and his wife (who appears covertly) enough…
The Morning Came
lyrics - t boudreau

If i thought i needed more it'd be for selfish reasons
If i didn't think that i had it all i'd be kidding myself
So whats ever left out there it's for your taking
Remember…
Sassy Nation version!
Sister Savage and Mr Sandbags collaborated on the original of this wonderful heartbreaker of a song. I've been playing it on the guitar the last few days and it always seemed to come out with a grittier tone, so i asked…
A fun childrens tune from 2008, it really ought to be a hot fiddle tune but i don't have a hot fiddle.
Old fox coming down the road now Bunny Bunny
Run Run Bunny Bunny Go
White tails bobbing in the air there funny bunny
Go Go Bunny Bunny Run…
Another wacky production from the stretchy, bouncy, and elastic world of Rubber. Special thanks to Mark (Launched) for writing this one for us.
We had a whole bunch of fun with this song and you will too.
Enjoy!

Just another cover of one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite musicians. Yes, the entire song is written in haiku. I'm not really sure how she does it, but Sam can make words dance.
Just a basic dance track because its just fun to bounce around sometimes. Also another excuse to use a growly bass sound... a "60 Hz Hum Bass" soundfont I had clearly neglected for too long.
Ever since i heard Cave Street's Creator Protector Destroyer (from their 2010 RPM album) run from that song back into the opening didj of Onion Bell (the first track) i wanted to put the lyrics to that pulsing energy, and today i had time to give…

A rockin' shuffle with that awesome harmonica. Oh yeah!
Nicely done. The extra instruments and voices really bring a lot to the track.
Beautiful, understated guitar work. This is a really lovely song. You've achieved what I keep trying to do, and you've done very well with it.
This reminds me of the Slowvol record from last year. Great stuff.
I really like the guitar work here, particularly as you come out of the chorus.
This is why we love Stu. Great work all around.
Just freaking brilliant.
Another brilliant job. Nice work, Stu.
This is seriously messed up, and I mean that in the best possible way.
Two of my favorite artists in one song! Great job, Keith!
Oh yeah! I'm all over this one. Nice work. Now I just have to figure out how to cover it to fit in my "party" theme of late. = )
Very very cool.
My favorite line: "And the river's a safer bet, because the sharks are smaller." I love that.
Wow. You did a much better job with her songs than I did. Nice work. I really like the transition into Rest.
Another fine job, Mr. Landry.
Another brilliant track. Just amazing. Excellent musicianship and a stellar vocal performance.
Hah! This is great! I'll have to say, this is not a song I figured anyone would ever cover. = ) Nice work.
HAND CLAPS!!!!! Most excellent!!!
Sweet harmonies. Lovely.
I love the toy piano!
