Can't help but wonder...
WHEN I'M GONE
You spend your whole life writing the words
Find the right way to say 'em and never get heard
The soul of an artist, laughing and crying
Here to sing to the world or die trying

So, my 2020 started with losing Bandit.

I'd read all the signs and heard the warnings
I couldn't put you through another night
So we walked…

How it must feel to be owned by the musical machine.

Why did I ever let you into my soul
Now I know you'll never let…

The rain falls on my shoulders

Reach out for the sun,

This song is about my Grandparent's farm that was in West Virginia. The name "Naugatuck" is derived from an Algonquian term meaning "lone tree by the fishing place". The rich memories I have of the place are from when I was just shy of my sixth…

This was the 12th song started this month and it's the 14th song finished. It's important in that it officially makes me a winner for FAWM this year, but it's unimportant for the RPM Challenge as this puppy goes straight to the dropped song list…

Moving on to RPM10, which although the sound quality was relatively poor remains one of my favorite albums I've written.
Uploaded
Also from RPM10, I felt like I had to revisit this one just because I love the absurd time signatures.
Uploaded
From RPM11, which never saw a proper release...but here's an 8-bit revisit anyway.
Uploaded
Another from RPM11 - when I went back to re-learn this one so I could transcribe it into the 8 bit format, I thought, "I'm really glad I came up with this riff."
Uploaded
From RPM17 -- there were so many I liked there it was hard to choose, so I went with this one that is the default choice on the Bandcamp page.
Uploaded
From RPM19 - this was the riff while writing that album that took the longest to mangle into a proper song, but eventually became one of my favorites from it.
Uploaded
And finally, a track that I wrote back in 2014 that never got a proper release but should get posted in its heavy guitar glory on a new album later this year.

This was the third song I started working on this month and it's the 15th song finished. What does that tell you?

This is a song about someone John met when he moved to Arizona in 1975. A brief encounter that left inspiration for a song.
Uploaded
John wrote this somewhere around 1972 or 1973. This is pretty much a song about the conflict of self vs. what you think is expected of you and the casualties that are impacted along the way. There was probably a lot of James Taylor influence…
