A blues number made using magix easy listening loops with Ardour software on Linux. This needs a lyric in the middle, but has instead been peppered here with almost random acoustic guitar jazz riffs. Had to use Audacity to take a chunk of the…

Keep Shining Through- Last minute lyrics…kind of a cop-out, since it’s a song about song-writing. I didn’t have any better ideas and after losing so much time from the outage I had to just bust out what I could. It was pretty much written on the…

I'm tired now, and I think I'll take a few days off from RPM. I need one more tune and that shouldn't be to tough to do.

Another collaboration between me and guitarist Kerry Hoke. Kerry provided me with four guitar loops. I arranged the loops, added some effects, played a sampled upright bass, programmed some drums, and blended it all together.

I composed this waltz for my niece Joana. She started playing piano this year so I just wanted to give her a goal :) I don't expect her to play this in the next years but hopefully she will be able to play it.
The song title translates to Ladybird…

So a friend of mine sent me over a little acoustic number he was working on and was asking what I could with it. So "Broken" was born. After getting down some vocals and adding a tonne of instrumentation I wasn't really happy with most of the…

This is my cover of 'Lady Killigrew'. This song was originally done by Sister Savage, and Bethan Mathis, and can be found on either of their alonetone pages. I highly recommend their version. They sing prettier... probably look prettier too…

My song about the hazards of the Missouri River.

This is my newest song made using Reason 4. Compositionally it might get slightly repetitive but I am hoping that there is enough variation that it will keep the listeners attention through the whole piece. Enjoy and let me know what you like…

It's another war song. The lyrics pretty much tell the feeling behind this one.

I was hesitant about uploading this one. It's really old and I hadn't listened to it in at least 10 years. I remember that at the time of recording it didn't come out the way I wanted but that I was ok (sort of) with the results. The vocals were…
