The calluses from all this bass playing are coming along nicely! This is another RPM song (song 6) where I built the song from a little bass riff. The lyrics include some quotes and/or references - pick them out and win a prize (ha ha…

Playing with 0-coast, 0-ctrl and Strega. Eventide provides some spring reverb.

**Song-writing Demo for FAWM 2022** Song number 2 Written Monday 7th February 2022 **** I wrote this one a couple of hours ago. I set up for recording, and busted a string on the Martin... GAH!!! I tried a big ole dreadnought thing…

Song 5 for the RPM Challenge. Building tunes around an incessant bass line is oddly appealing to me. This is a bit of a dystopian song of sorts. Thanks to anyone who listens! Take me to the river and hold me under water Bow down beside…

Cute little song about the evils of Gerrymandering

The title says it all.

Can you hear me? Can you see my screen? I'm explaining Exactly what I mean There's an error on the next slide, and I hope that you will bear with me 15 minutes Read it word-for-word You'll be reading Exactly what you heard I will…

something of a logic and theme type song with a heartbeat --- made in matlab and put at freesound as a layer,,..

Demo #1 for FAWM '22. [VERSE] I wasn’t looking for trouble, Just a change of pace. Something different that my mind could engage. A shallow fragment of longing For something different to feel The novelty of the change it’s own appeal…

This will be our 12th and final piece for the RPM Challenge's Record Every Month thing, that's our year done, so we thought it was party time! We've taken cuts from all the 11 previous tracks, plus the special piece Elling Lien recorded for our…

Through the years I've known several men who were told by their wives to grab their two-pair of Levis and hit the road. I always wondered if that happened to me, what would I take, besides my two-pair of jeans?

In 2014 I finished the RPM Challenge at the end of February and then did another album in a month in March... and in April... and so on for the rest of the year. This was from April (I think) and I was literally asking myself what the hell I…

The sixth song taken from the 2016 RPM Challenge to be re-recorded in The Great 2015 Re-Recording Project. I swear that makes sense. Just trust me. I have been saying that this round of Quarantine Tunes (the sixth and final round) is scraping…

This is a song about a time I took too much drugs. It was an experience that has had a lasting impact on me.

This was by far my favorite song from the 2021 RPM Challenge, but I was really disappointed with the recording. I thought the rhythm guitars sounded like crap and the vocals were terrible. This version sort of fixes the rhythm guitars but…

Here is my contribution to the January 2022 Solo Songwriting Challenge offered by the Minnesota Association of Songwriters. The goal was to take an idea from another song without plagiarizing and incorporate it in a new way. I chose a Public…

We all need God's mercy in our lives! This is a song of repentance & surrender.

We all have a life race to run in our time here on the planet. This is explanatory of mine - what's yours?

Sitting at my keyboard one day and plugged in some canned drums & started playing the bass line & these are the words & tune that came to me
