This was my last rpm2010 piece. i had recorded the rhythm track in early feb, and put the triple mandolin harmonies on at the very end of feb. i really love mandolin harmonies...this has more of a mediterranean vibe...

-Mrs. Groovy Sunshine- Lyrics… As the shadows stretch across your dark and lonely room and your record player fails to chase away your gloom I want to hold you tight, and tuck you into bed at night I just hope that you’re alright, and I can…

Where's all this sappy music coming from? The Olympics were on. I must have been watching too much figure skating or something. Unmastered track from my 2010 RPM Challenge submission.

Just a mellow instrumental to get involved here. Hope you like it!

A track inspired by Miles Davis's tune "Fat Time," even though it doesn't sound very much like it. Thanks for listening.

This is a first run at MIDI drumming. I have my kit setup to a new Alesis Trigger I/O box. It turns my drum kit in to a USB MIDI drum kit. Pretty cool toy. Most of the kits I have in the software are dry to record. Obviously, the sound will…
