I’m a lucky boy

This started as something AMUC did for RPM 2007 - the problem was that at the time, it was really cool-sounding noise, but not a song.
We sampled the original track, and came up with this little ditty from that.

Title track from AMUC's 2013 RPM album.

I went a little sample crazy this year for the RPM challenge. (This song is the tip of the iceberg, and then it gets far worse.)
Thematically, I guess this one resulted from spending a month between the hospital and a rehab facility last year…

I actually wrote this awhile back, but I've wanted to re-arrange it and record it with better quality, so here it is. Everything is me except the drums which are loops.

I played the electric guitar, (Peavey), my Dean bass, and my Crystal synth VSTi(love that thing!). I arranged the drums from loops. I recorded in Reaper on my iMac.

Straight up Texas-Style blues, by way of Georgia. I played the guitars and bass. The drums are from loops. Recorded in Reaper, mastered in Audacity, on my iMac.

I wrote this one several years ago, but never recorded it, so it seemed like a good way to get a jump start on RPM2013.

Another old tune... from 2004 I think. Tuned to DADFAD.
Uploaded
I think I wrote enough that I can play it consistently this way, but I like this piece as a jam framework. Tuned to DADFAD.
Uploaded
First song written this year... and the closest thing to a reasonable but non-standard tuning I used (just drop D)
Uploaded
No, the title isn't really about anything. Also tuned to DADFAD.
Uploaded
I think I had just hiked at, or was planning on hiking at, Rattlesnake Ledge when I wrote this, so...there you go. Tuned to DADGAD.
Uploaded
...or "Lullaby for a teddy bear from Nysa." Tuned to DADGAD.
Uploaded
So named because it reminded me of something I might hear on a PBS special or other documentary about national parks, and Tuolumne (from Yosemite NP) was the first word that came to mind. Also wins for weirdest tuning: CGDGAC
Uploaded
Who says everything in DADGAD has to sound happy and Celtic?
Uploaded
For that matter, who says everything in DADFAD has to be dreary and sad? D minor is, after all, the saddest chord.
Uploaded
This just sort of fell out of my guitar as I was finishing up recording Tuolumne (so it is also in super-weird CGDGAC tuning). And it's named because what caught my eye as I was searching for a name was a bass guitar pick with an eagle on it.
