I see in color, Even when, the words, black and white I hear in flutters, Even when, the words come in trite. After all, I'm tied to this anchor. I'm tied to this hull. Tied to this deck, through the night. I better get to climbing…

HEAR MY FINAL SONG Most were drinkin', four were playin' cards Two were dancin', one he played guitar He was singin' how she broke his heart Some were smokin', smoke rings filled the air One was flirtin', playin' with her hair He was…

I wrote this song while out hiking some awesome trails in Zion National Park... gave me some excellent inspiration. I also tried some different stuff with the mixing and using my keyboard... so trying to push a few of my envelopes... Here…

This is the first time I have played in drop D this is a Springsteen song that he borrowed the title from a Pete Seeger song..and I like the way Warren Haynes plays it live...so here is my humble attempt at it...

welll... this year for RPM i am trying music and instruments i have never used/learned/done ie know nothing about... why? im not sure i now know.. but it did seem like a good idea two weeks ago.. so here is the "first half" of what i have so…

I spent a good three hours quickly putting this rough raw testing track together from scratch, here the very first trial take, just to see what it could be like. I'm still not sure what rhytm to go for, I'm sure by the time I finish it, it'll…

Track 1 for the RPM 2015 album Cold Ground Was My Bed No man is a prophet in his own home No man is a prophet in his own You can do just what you want, in the end you stand alone No man is a prophet in his own Don’t want no cryin’ when…

This is all me... VOICES There is something deep inside that wants to laugh and cry Something that would like to tell it's story There is something deep inside that wants to dance and wants to fly Maybe you would guess it's called the…

Track 8 for the RPM 2015 album Cold Ground Was My Bed For the great Joni Mitchell of course.

Turn a Blind Eye -- Don't turn a blind eye to the Sunshine Don't walk away from this piece of mind I got to tell ya just one more time Don't walk away from the Sun... shine! Aw c'mon now, don't tell me you never wanted to…

This is the bonus track for "The Best of GEM" playlist. APATHY AND GREED Apathy and greed is in the human seed "I need more, to Hell with you" we say so well How we live and play to get us through the day Til we hear the bell that summons…

Ok, didn't want to play, then this popped out.......'cause you know we're all mad..... least I can listen to them all now !!!!!

I got touched by an article I read about an Irish chap that saw a girl on a plane he fell in love with at first sight (ha, I never knew that existed !!!) He could not forget about her, so decided to do a “Sherlock Holmes” and was determent to…

Hope you enjoy the trip. The bass line kept my fingers busy on this more aggressive Psychedelic Folk tune. The poem is actually three crammed into one, all about the same dream. LAST NIGHT With a subtle touch I have said enough But you…

Pleasure boats and fishermen Tugboat pushin three barges wide Sit on the banks from morn till evening Wave to the people as they pass me by Up in Minnesota she’s fast and cold Walleye fishing just below the dam Go and catch em til…

SONG ABOUT SOME CRAZY NIGHTS MANY YEARS AGO.

Another Psychedelic Sea Shanty. This one follows a Fox Trot beat. I didn’t have a mic screen when I recorded the vocal tracks – my voice is piercing at moments. Hope you are nonetheless able to enjoy the mix-down. Pan flute by Starry Nightmoth…

Cover of the classic Buzzcocks tune

by Slash and Myles Kennedy

one of my fav moody's songs. it would have turned out far better if i had a melotron. (i wish!) this is an ecological song. i had it running in my head for the last week, and so much so it was also playing in a dream i had, so i figured it…

I'm sure I had too much wine when I recorded this ........

One of those songs that sort of recorded it self, just plugged in my acoustic, two takes done, than the vocals. Simples, as if.........

Just a little oldie I found.

When you come to the end of the road and all of the signs just say "No" You never say, "Quit" Cause that's not your bit You're not a pup You never give up...
