Chester Arthur was the president
But no one remembers him
What about you?
He served a term with no vice president
And no one resident
To tell him what to do
He came to office by a bullet's grace
Garfield lost his place
And Arthur took…
A true story about some of my odd dreams
If the world's strongest man
Could hold the world in the palm of his hand
Would he crush us all into dust?
As a way to punish us
These are the kind of things
That seem to occupy me
If a giant…
A very bitter account of leaving a job.
Don't burn the bridge they say
Yet here I stand any way
With a can of gas and a match
In my hand
Thinking how after all this time
Still not sure what's yours and what's mine
And neither of us is…
A very bitter account of leaving a job.
Don't burn the bridge they say
Yet here I stand any way
With a can of gas and a match
In my hand
Thinking how after all this time
Still not sure what's yours and what's mine
And neither of us is…
The story of a car crash.
Had the dream again this morning
Pictured just how it would be
Saw it moving in slow motion
Felt it rushing up to me
And suddenly it's happening
I can't seem to make myself believe
Clench my fists
Lose my…

I've heard rumors about the vocal recording technique you use, but you have to hear it to believe it. That's really nice -- encompassing stereo effect..
I just listened to the awesome cover version by Keith Landry and had to come to hear the original song. I like this one too! :)
Well done. It's getting too late now, but I'll be back for further listening :)
Another Sunday cover, this time putting an acoustic spin on one of my favorite tunes from RPM2010 - Communist Party by the great Sha-Pink. This song marks the first time I've ever used live percussion.
For someone who had the full sized G.I. Joe's as a kid, and fought with my brother using them, or shoes, or sticks, or whatever was handy, Joe got plenty of action. But since we had no sister, Joe didn't get any other kind of action. He was sad about that.
Good song, sir.

Got this in my car at the moment - kids sing along to the chorus...so do I, unless I'm at red lights and the windows are down, in which case I tap my fingers in time on the steering wheel, subtly. ;-)
One of the first songs I wrote for "Burning Wood (the Bonfire Sessions)", and one of the last to be completed, Sam lends her incredible vocal talents to this sunny-day driving song.

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…

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

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…

thanks for the laffs !
Love the piano work on this. Very well done. ER
I know how you feel. I'm day to day as well. Nice accoustic song. ER
Love the harmonies the most on this one. The guitar work was good, too. ER

Yes. You, an acoustic, some smart lyrics and a catchy tune. That is a formula that works for me.
Got this in my car at the moment - kids sing along to the chorus...so do I, unless I'm at red lights and the windows are down, in which case I tap my fingers in time on the steering wheel, subtly. ;-)
I was going to say this is my favorite track but that actually comes a few songs down the line. Still, I like this ode to toys quite a lot.
You know Tim, I really like you on these little acoustic songs. Just you and the guitar. This might be your thing. Very nice.
This may by my favorite track on this album. It's so Zepplinesque. A totally different color from the rest of the tracks. Nice singing too.

So nice, I listened to it twice! You two always sound so good together.
Fabulous build up and a great, professional sound. This is one of my favorites from Sunny, Sorta...
Awesome. Just awesome. I'm thrilled to have a song on the same album as this. Stunning....
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.
