At the end of this road
Red rock and blue skies
And the wind calls
Plant your roots in the ground
And the clean air that the trees share
You can't hear a sound
Deep in the heart of it all
Morning dew at the sunrise
Covered in fog
Fires…
So many distractions the left's pulling up and the right is undone
Dealing with reaction the motivated mind is a dangerous thing
Son don't pity me I shook the hands and collected the toll
I stood upon the podium and hid the skeletons so they…
This salty man's a salty dog
His travels have left him weary
Got boots all lined up at the door
He's must be carrying stones again...
His salty wife waits on salty shores
Tending the child she carries
Washing his wounds with olive soap…
Whispers for dark words in my subconscious
The belief that reality doubles with your delusions
A thought that a handshake was once considered currency
Or a realization that man is the only predator you fear
Radioactive soul
Ain't got nothin…
Some people talk to me
Ask me what I do for a living
Use some rocks to grind my grain
Little bit of whiskey to tickle the brain
Valley fever giving me rest
Smokestack choked out to my west
Drink a little of the H2O
Give it a little…
One of the first songs I ever wrote... When we bought our first house, we had a nice big back yard on a 1/3 acre lot... With the train tracks just on the other side of the back fence.
I have a soft spot for trains as well. In my hometown south of here I enjoyed the trains rolling by old route 66 all the time. Miss them some days.
Also really like the strumming pattern @ the :57 mark reminds me of the train horn
“This Change”: (Richard Hardrick)
Everything change
oceans of life, fight against death (hum)
I'm only a shade (afraid)
I' m trying to find my own way to survive
I'm better hide away, far away.
I can't resist this change
sky or sea…
Reg has met a new girl she’s a little unstable but he loves her just the same................
Time Bomb (Lyrics)
Yeah baby your just like a ticking bomb
Ooh baby your just like a ticking bomb
The only trouble is if you explode
The only trouble…
I find it difficult to believe this is all Midi instruments.
The Midi guitars, bass & leads, I ran through amp sims.
The drums are all Midi. 7 tracks.
Kicker, snare, 2 tom tracks, high hat, tambourine, and a cowbell.
All done on the keys…
ah yes the wonders of modern world...whisper into a microphone and after $6,000 in studio work, your the next pop icon. ;) Killer track. I love the "band" name idea from K. Ha ha nice...

-Lyrics-
When the world is in battle,
It grows hard to see,
The fights that occur within lines.
Constant distraction dispensed
From the top
of the castle
With oil down its sides.
All of the effort
now wasted…
The title track for this year's RPM album. One mic. Live take. Please forgive the missed notes.
LETTERS
Writing while I drive with voices in my mind
Passed along by friends I’ve never met
Trying to stay alive in one place in time…
#4 for the RPM Challenge.
Have you heard this melody before? This is one of those where I wonder if I've unconsciously "borrowed" something from someone. Translation: the Fly Boat, like the tourist boats that ply the river Seine and their bright…
A few months back, Jim (MTC) posted an outstanding acoustic track which summoned up a clear-as-day memory from my childhood. The vividness of that memory resulted in this song... Amazing how such significant events in your life (like recognizing…
Took a sample of a cd skipping (artist was Skip James, irony) and messed with it in Filtatron app,added some awful funk accompaniment that sounds like a soundtrack for a bad porn movie, hence the title.
Another Live performance with former band mates in Scartaglen back in 1988 on the NPR show Mountain Stage. This time a piece of Gaelic mouth music followed by 3 reels. Maybe the most complex arrangement of a set of tunes that we ever did.

Reg had something to get of his chest on number 6 for the RPM because he needs rebuilding after that last relationship..................

Song #2 for the RPMC. My goal is to have 12 short tunes (1-3 minutes long), so I need to pick up the pace.
Again, quartal tuning on the top 3 unison pairs of the 12 string. I've been listening to Ralph Towner's Blue Sun, hence the title.

Man a real A.I.C vibe on parts of this one, not sure if that is what you were going for, but it is a great track.
Man great work on these.
Man i can't wait to listen to this RPM all the way, beginning to end.
Damn fine work! Love the drum work with the tight double bass rolls in there.
