A simple one-track mandolin tune. In fact it's the first tune I ever made on the mandolin. I think it would be better with a bodhran drum accompanying it, but I don't know how to play those!
Maybe someday this will work its way into something…

Lyrics:
Don’t you bow, to kings and queens
Rise above, everything
If the devil beckons, and the angels sing
Don’t listen to, anything
The time has come, to raise your hands
C’mon everybody, take a stand
Higher, Higher, Higher, Higher…

I had missed this one when it was first put up by Chris Vaisvil and Norm (Still waiting) i heard it today for the first time and it struck a chord so i asked Chris if i could add some words and being the generous man he is, he said yes. So i set…

Originally meant to sound more Hendrix-ey, this one informed me that acoustic was the way to start. As always, the song was right, I was wrong.

Sassy Nation version!
Sister Savage and Mr Sandbags collaborated on the original of this wonderful heartbreaker of a song. I've been playing it on the guitar the last few days and it always seemed to come out with a grittier tone, so i asked…

We really had a wonderful time working with Sister Savage and we have since inducted her into the band under her new virtual ego: Violet Hemlock!
Thanks Tess!

Another one from way back when.
I've always loved belting this one out...

The Dutch painter Mondrian was apparantly a fervent dancer to Boogie Woogie and that image stuck because he seems such a stiff guy otherwise. So I thought that would make a funny subject for a dance-tune. Normally I wouldn't make a song about…

Another Proods Rocker from Brian. I love his lead guitar on this one…sort of reminds me of Steely Dan, or some other classic rock tune.
More great stuff on the way….also, be sure to check out our remixed tracks.

Love is a riddle, whispered in rain,
A shadow that dances, a flame in the vein.
It breaks us to pieces, then stitches the seam,
A storm in the daylight, a hush in a dream.
Life is a river that never stands still,
It bends without reason…

The MN coffee table is back!!!! We have a new member too - Joel Schaubert, who joined Mark Lofgren and Greg Connor - veterans of the coffee table. Once again we wrote this song and recorded it in my backyard coffee table (hence some of the wind…

Brent wrote a song. A really good song.
I asked for his session file. I replaced his drum and keyboard sounds and remixed things.
I added a second guitar and some strings.
I created an odd percussion track.
Then I recorded my own vocals…

We decided to give the kids an outlet that wasn’t pandemic or lockdown based this February, and made an album as a family for the RPM Challenge 2021. It was just the most precious, funny, brilliant month.

Hey,
I just improvised again this night and wanted to share what came out. Usually I'm such a perfectionist and have to get every detail right, with the effect that I don't share a lot of stuff that I do.
Here I recorded the first voice…
