So I had this song, not quite finished, I sort of insisted Greg Connor sing it, he also wrote the last verse. Steve Krell added the solo break. I think they helped to bring the song alive. Oh yeah, I'm in the Chorus ...... hiding Somewhere. :) :)

Okay, RPM Song 3 finished. It's a weird song melodically speaking (yup, that's actually intentional lol). Oddly, it took an extremely long time to produce this one and my eyes are now very blurry. I guess this is an "urban" song (though I…
Well....this one can't really count towards my RPM as I completed it just before February. Thought I'd post it just for the heck of it. Thanks to anyone who listens! It's a song inspired by listening to a lot of fun guitar riffs.
Song #2 for this year's RPM album....another one from the basement in the middle of the night. Experimenting with minimal lyrics and a lot of repetition. The song probably has something to do with how we left our home of many years last February…

Simply a work of genius
Just excellent twang ting blues
This one's a keeper!
I like that cool vibe you've got going here!!
it drives along nicely why use 3 when 2 will do love the keys
Oh . . . This is GOOD.
There's deep down Blues in that harp and slide ... it was good but its better now .... Ray you've worked his magic again
Well what can I say ...... Brilliant Ray, he added the Slide and Harmonica, I'm blown away ..........
that acoustic sounds soft and smooth just like the blues being sung ....
You are setting the pace. This is a thought provoking situational presentation Well done.
My feet are tapping! This is the stuff.
Nice laid back bluesy number and very well recorded. It's just screaming out for some blues harp and/or slide guitar.
Timeless, retro acoustic gem - love this. :) Soundtrack material.
Works for me too and so true ..
Nope, that's not a silly little ditty at all - well, you can call it that, if you want :) - it's actually quite thought-provoking. Nice one.
Very pleasant :) back for another listen...
This really came to life. Nice collaboration guys. I love the blending of your voices on the chorus.

Oh yeah, nice way to start the day.
Nice traditional blues song. Right up my street. Love it.
