"She did? Why wasn't I informed?" asked Jack Merlot to the two uniformed Minneapolis police officers.
All three of them were on their bicycles. The officers had come up alongside Jack Merlot to remind him that there is No Bicycle Riding on Nicollet Mall Unless You Are an Officer of the Law, but they also stayed in momentum with Jack, as they struggled to answer his plaintive query.
"Probably because you're not that important." said Officer Friendly. Jack turned left onto Washington Avenue & proceeded to find his way to Nordest, where at least there was a cold beer waiting for him.
This is a song that I did with Bethan Mathis a while back. She has recently removed her account, but has give me permission to place this song on my pages. She did such a wonderful job of singing this that I think it deserves to be heard.

Another song I worked on for Bethan Mathis. She had come up with this funny song, and asked for some music to go along with it. I got a bit carried away, but I think it all works. Since Bethan has recently removed her account, she gave me permission…
Lyrics:
Here's a dance that even you can do,
Cos you don't have to move more than your wrist.

You can squirm about all you want,
Or you can stand real still, just like…
Written and recorded as part of our family RPM project this year. :-D
13 year old Jasmine on vocals and ukulele.
We wrote and recorded 10 songs under the name Cattica. It was just the best month of lockdown imaginable.
One more instrumental before I move on to the vocals...
I came up with this riff one hazy night when I was 19. I'm in my 30s now, and rather more sober, but I still like playing this. It felt good to finally flesh it out.
Another one for the RPM2011 pile. Vocals are a bit shonky so apologies for that. If you don't like the start I would give the ending a try. If you don't like that either, I'm sorry to have wasted your time. The subject matter's self-explanatory…
My take on Gumbo's Keep Your Eye On The Spot, one of many excellent tracks from his RPM2011 album 'Cat's Moustache'. It's something of a departure from the original, though I was trying to retain an element of the gospel so hopefully its soul…
Final version
it needs a fiddle but it has a mandolin, a chicken banjo and some excellent backing vocalists
my third demo for RPM 2011
The cat's in the window and

I've played in such a cafe, a long time ago, for a meal/drink, thru the night. Surreal it was; second life. Yeah ...
2010 RPM Challenge Track. Lyrics
The thin veneer
That thin film of fear
What have you started
And what of your dreams
they tear away
And they won't return
We won't return here
Anymore
Dont they tear away (the thin veneer…

Happy Valentine's Day Everyone.
I think this song has grown on me in the last few
days. I'm diggin' it. I hope you all do too. I

Valentine's Day. Finished at 3:05am. Wha whoooo!
I need to…

first finished (if unmixed) track for RPM 2010
