Out on the lawn there arose such a clatter!
Sometimes, as they say, Christmas do come early. I found Johnny Stone's "Christmas Rock In Oz" under the tree and couldn't wait until Yuletide to unwrap it. What a rockin' gift! I know a bit about…
While I'm certain there are those who may be growing weary of scratching, I couldn't resist posting this great mix by Alister Flint, who is truly a master mixologist extraordinaire - he didn't even have individual tracks to work with! Al was too…
You know those people who like to break out the family photos or something of that sort with which to bore their guests? This is my version of that.
Most of what makes this song special to me is for all the same reasons that you won't share…
Let us celebrate our failures and our successes!
I submit my failure here for consideration.
I actually want to do something more with this just because it's a lot darker than I usually write. Unfortunately, it never turned into something musical…
"Farmer's Blow" is redneck rap. Oh yeah, I went there.
- - -
If you're on the run
And your nose has gotta go
Don't grab a tissue
Do the farmer's blow
Just tilt your head
To the side
Then block one nostril
And let it ride
You may think
That…
Oh yeah. The silly a cappellas are back.
Ideas they are like water
Just floating all along
But you really can't hold on
Ideas they are elusive
You can chase 'em everyday
In the end they get away
So get that old idea
And dust it off
It don't…
Oh, I had such big plans for this song. Acoustic guitar, tin whistle, maybe go and drag the bagpipes out of storage (cough, or as the case really would be: fire up Logic, so I can use an external plugin).
I went to storm spotters training instead…
I hate those dreams. I have them too: The naked math class; foot stuck in the train tracks; the sudden discovery of a test that I haven't studied for.
Ah, but also the great dreams - flying, etc.
Great train sample!
Well, I finally got my hands on a 17 note per octave electric guitar thanks for Brad Smith, a local Luthier who did a lovely conversion of a Jay Turser strat copy I bought at the local Guitar Center for $65. The guitar is nicely very bright…

When I hear you play like this, there is a big part of me that believes this world would be a better place if you threw everything on the fire and sat at your piano all day.
Your friends are very fortunate. Personally, I'm glad that I brought a basket large enough to hold this gem.
Thanks.

Reg, that is twisted. I suspect that you are correct: at least your sister is a martian. I'd be looking for some orange laxative tablets for her...
Way to make some new space within this one! Totally pro. Let's jam again! (Sounds to me like you are totally ready for RPM: go for it!)
Sounds great - clean mix.
Hahahaha!
Love the kids in the back ground. Sort of confirms this lovely love song. Great vox, as always. And I dig that funky key work.
Wow! One of your best! How did I miss this one? Smooookin' indeed.
Good heavens you have a lot of great tunes...
Brilliant, indeed!
Your accents are incredible... what a range!
Oh this is very, very good. And any song that mentions "bacon" is a hit with me.
Brilliant!
This is adorable!

Oh boy. Don't forget to eat & sleep once in a while. I can't wait to hear what you come up with on this thing...
My favorite parts are when you drop back into 6/8 meter like at 20 mins.
*holds up lit lighter* You + Mike = always great.
What an interesting, if not somewhat sad, story about a poet I had never heard of. I love your bass work here.
If you wouldn't mind, call me a few hours before the police arrive... this is great stuff.
Totally pro. Nice work here.
