**Song-writing Demo for FAWM 2022** Song number 5 Written Thursday 10th February 2022 **** What can I say? Mrs R likes it. I knew she would. Scheduling-wise, songs per day, I've now caught up with having missed the first 5 days of…

Lookin over the calendar Seems like you're getting old Feel a little bit achy now A remedy is sold Goin to the healthy store Buy what you need Tryin all the products To heal your achy knee But you won’t feel brand new You…

Song 1 for the RPM Challenge. Wanted to feature an incessant base line inspired by The Smoke.

Might need some more touch-up work (2nd take version) but ill leave this up for now and let it ride...

This is our January submission to the REM Challenge. The song came together very quickly. Dan Will on Piano David True on Bass

Another one from the archives! Collab with glu from 2009 - I took his original guitar track and added vocals, then he remixed and made about four more versions, but this is my fave.

Inspired by Dillon Bastan's "Inspired by Nature" Ableton Live Pack.

One of my favorites to sit and relax....

This is what it sounds like when every note has its own wah pedal... The lower and higher harmonics come in first, with the inside ones filling in, harmonic by harmonic every 20ms. The result is a very human-ish Yaw sound on low notes (check…

whatch out for the Boom Boom Beat.........

Reflective indigo groove with some summer strings & sensual sax. Written with John French https://edenshard.bandcamp.com/album/the-cobblepot-engine

Boring rainy day gotcha down? Not a problem with the new improved BLANKET FORT from Indoor Voices!

2009, having fun with Johnny Stone's awesome music.

And now a complete change. I like variety, and this introduces a new feel to the record. Until the mid-section, when the spacey connection returns, though in a subtle way.

Another one where the riff came first, on the last day of RPM 2020 actually. Before all the craziness struck. I thought to myself "Oh self! That's a good riff! I will need to revisit it next year for RPM 2021." So I did. It also has a call-back…

A whole 10 song album in under five minutes. Why? Just because we can. Is it good? Heck no.

John wrote this in 1972. 9 years earlier, as an 8th grader living in West Virginia, he knew the day would come when he would "set sail" to other parts of the country/world. That day came in 1975 with a journey that ultimately landed him in New…

Song #3 for the RPM Challenge 2021. A reflection on being an amateur musician and loving it. Thanks for listening. Onward!!!
