please check the video!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyytSMYAARo I wrote this song about my father and Dementia/Alzheimer's over a year and a half ago. We just finished the song and video, kind of surreal because Dad is in a nursing…

(Remastered 22/10/2021) And here we go - Edith FINALLY gets it... Actually, she's been getting it ever since I wrote it on the 29th May. I thought it would take a week or so, but it proved to be more of a fight than I was expecting. On…

The Great 2015 Re-Recording Project finally has a final mix! In 2015, after RPM ended, I asked myself, "now what?" The answer was to take a handful of songs from the previous few years worth of song writing and recording challenges and turn…

A playmate for Alea on the Reeltime playlist. Uploaded 6.29.2020

So, after the manic mayhem of 'Hunted' here is a rather more romantic piece for no. 6, and that I have subtitled with the French word for 'Love'......

We got motivated to write something a bit light hearted about our Covid-19 Times.... I hope you'll laugh and sing along with Roger , Colleen, Greg and Steve on this one... any maybe raise a glass of your personal moonshine!!! https://www.youtube…

I don't say this often... if you go through the ton of songs I've uploaded here you can probably count the number of times I said this on one hand and have some fingers left over... I really like this one. Literally everything about it. If…

First attempt at running a Mini-Moog through a Cry Baby wah-wah pedal. Sound setting was pink noise, with modulation added to the filter about half way through.

No Matter what, Believe u can, Believe in ur seff, never relen.

Just a run through in the cellar that turned out pretty cool til the end. I lost my way on the mandolin. The bass track was laid down later. Bless him for trying keep up with the trash I played at the end.

I recorded 4 separate vox tracks and I couldn't see dumping any of them. Better than reverb!

working on some English songs for children.

A song I recorded along with a friend. We are both guitar focused, so naturally this tracks focuses on the guitar as well.

Rival Unbridled rivalry Come down and right on me I know you won’t take me again Unbridled rivalry Come down and right on me And I know you won’t take me again Welcome disaster Hand colored view We’ve made our beds here And so…

This is the last song on The edge of Winter but it is not finished there is another part yet to be written ... Winter's tale of woe : Part 1 - The end of winter. Part 2 - The last snowstorm

AKA New Wave or "Unknown #1" As always, apologies to the band for the guesswork. LYRICS: New wave Wine Dine Smile because I said so that's Why Mired Fired because I said so

This may well have been our first collaboration, many, many Moons ago.

OK, so episode 3 of my Lockdown Orchestrations series....a different feel this time from the full-on epic trailer style from 1 & 2, perhaps?

I wrote this song as a way to process some of the feelings of sadness, dismay, anger, fear and love that were brewing inside my heart this past week. I live in Minneapolis, where the terrible killing of George Floyd occurred, and the subsequent…

Another silly little tune, this time about the world's favourite stout! (Edit: uploaded a new version. Fixed a few mistakes.) Lyrics: When the sun is up high, in a bright blue sky And you're walking around in Dublin town You got nothing…

Another original tune from Randy Arenson. I get to play a little harmonica on this one.

Original song by my friend and music partner Randy Arneson. Recorded in Garageband using a pickup plus condenser mic on a vintage Gibson 12 string (2 channels of guitar). I have a couple different versions of this one recorded...

Due to climate change we've had little rain in the last couple of years The day after I had written this song it rained all day :-) KC --------------------------------------------- The third year of drought Three summers in a row A relentless…

I listened to a lot of Orbital back in the days. This song obviously materializes those melodic ideas I've kept safe somewhere in my aural memory. BTW, the name of the track is a nonexistent word generated by AI.

Synth One and Argon synth apps

In Lockdown, I have really been inspired to return to my more classical roots, and have enjoyed playing around with the idea of epic style movie or cinematic themes/trailers. I have imaginatively named them Lockdown Orchestrations No. 1, No…

I made a silly little song in French about the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy `:-) Recorded on my phone, hope it sounds ok on the website! Lyrics: Je viens d'reveiller Je ne peux plus dormir J'prends du cafe C'comme ça, i'faut s'nourrir…

I know we're not supposed to pick favorites among our children, but this is my favorite. I've been told the initial instruments are a little too bold; I kinda think that's the point, but what do I know?

So named because I overheard a conversation between two people, and one of them actually used this phrase. It was in Cambridge, if that matters.

(Remastered 22/10/2021) Here it is in all of its glory... THIS is the song that Mrs R and I had decided was a suitable response to a request to "Upload something HAPPY, stat!!!!!!!!!" I tried to record it back in 2013 when I wrote it…

Deep in the dungeons of the dusty archive. I mean, that's where Hopeless Romantics belong, no?

I don't really remember this one. Oh yeah, on second thought... maybe I do.

A song from 2015, thinking about goats. Like goats, this one is only smelly if you're standing too close to it.
