when political rant but no, pettier!
The good news is that i pioneered my "hit mandolin strings with a pencil to sound dulcimer-ish" technique, and not everybody gets that kind of chance in life.

several songs were recorded in my bathroom, to my phone. This one got an actual-microphones-and-counterpoint-on-melodica treatment later, but here's this version.

not a song i'm proudest of, but 12-string guitars are such magic i couldn't cut it either.

Another song from my 2013 RPM Challenge album. I always like this one, but I'm not sure I did it justice this time. There is a lot of really sloppy guitar playing, even if the Klon KTR overdrive pedal sounds EPIC. Sorry, gear nerd.

It’s like floating down a river

That river’s going to take you
Only where it wants to go
So you reach out with conviction
At debris along the way
That river’s going to take you
If you give up and say…

This didn't go as planned... I wrote this song for my wife Nicola while I was away in the UK working in March 2020... I excitedly played it to her from 3,500 miles away over the ether and.... I think she was expecting a ballad rather than a rather…

This song was written for those interested to hear a list of breakfast cereals.
Also, when you reverse "all brands kellogg's" you can hear "smell that in your pool" which makes an interesting title.

This track started out nice and peaceful, but accidentally grew until I was not able to control it anymore.

This would be the ballad of Rick and Debbie, head over heals, how about you?

The 2020 50/90 will not be shut out. One song down, 49 to go.

Yet another big dumb rocker, but this one I kinda like. I think it's the hyper active chorus, even though I could barely sing it without the wheels coming off the bus.

So... that harmonic on the last beat before the first verse... Watch out for that puppy. If you've got headphones on that might be a little like an ice pick into your skull. I didn't plan it, I just did it.
