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.

As I have mentioned in other years, I am so very blessed to have some songs come to me in my dreams. Grace is one of them. The specific line "Grace, grace, grace! You don't have to be a lonely child" is what I retained in my waking moments so…

We're so quick to judge others. We really shouldn't. This one follows the tone of It Mattered To No One Else. I actually had a lot more song ideas like these two that I thought would end up being the whole record. But it didn't happen that…

Never forget the simple pleasure of just listening to music. I wrote a whole album about it a few years ago called The Lost Art Of Listening. This one's about how a song can simultaneously take you away from the concerns of life, yet make you…

Ok, this one has a journey for its creation. The original riff actually came to me in the heat of late August 2013. I still remember when it came to me. It was in a different key, with a slight different resolution. It felt like a hot summer's…

The Again, Again, Again line and melody has been flowing through my brain since 2017 or so. But if we are merely vessels for songs that are waiting to come to our shores, I was a leaky boat for a very long time and couldn't make the journey without…

So, my 2020 started with losing Bandit. THE LAST LONG WALK You woke me up at 4AM this morning And told me that you had to see the sights I'd read all the signs and heard the warnings I couldn't put you through another night So we walked…

Where it all began. THE PERFECT CRIME When you told me you'd be leaving Without even telling him goodbye I couldn't stop smiling all that evening The closest I've been to being high Now you've got my poor mind racing Trying to keep…

The music came first. I don't know where the words came from. LEAVE ME ALONE Looks like you found me after so damn long My papers around me, my sanity gone Why do you hound me from dusk till dawn Still trying to drown me - how'd you get…

It was a rough year. This instrumental is pretty much how it felt. I'm sure you can relate.

A new song. I did this one on my own KC ------------------------------------ All those internet desperado's That you see online With their keyboard bravado I think they're crossing a line It's so easy to rant and yell At people from…

Just a delicate little instrumental. Took my time getting it right, because, well, there was nowhere to be that day. Or any day after that. Or any day after that...

What else can be said of the last 12 months? Everybody wants a piece of my time. Get in line. The riff came first and I walked around for days just banging it out non-stop. Hammer-ons for fun and pleasure...

Originally conceived as a mellow-ish, Stephen Stills sounding number (at least the verses), then the chorus came to me out of nowhere and turned the whole song on it's ear. I think that was for the better. I have to admit that I surprised myself…
