Another lovely Monroe-Robinson collaboration. This one was originally titled "It's There For Us," but when Robbie's wife really liked the line "it's simple and easy to say the words that keep us alive" in a draft version, Leum was happy to retitle…

Another song about struggling to fit in when you've always been told what to do.

Enjoy and share

This is a demo recording that I made for our Muskegon-area Neighborhood Bluegrass group to practice with. It will sound a lot better after it's re-recorded with the group actually playing and singing their parts. Soon to have our own Muskegon…

Another lovely song from Leum. He's prolific, that one is! It was fun to collaborate on lyrical tweaks for this one, working together to tighten up a solid draft into a rich, compact song. For recording, we used a couple of condenser mics…

Mike's fun rockabilly follow-up to Scammers, Spammers, and Cons from a previous RPM Challenge. We recorded the drums, bass, one rhythm guitar track, and a scratch vocal take live off the floor, then added the other guitar tracks and a clean…

A recording by our Muskegon-area neighborhood bluegrass group. Despite its upbeat association and recent use in pharmaceutical TV advertising, this is a rather sad song; but, like most others do, we perform it in an upbeat style. Marsha Kitchka…

One of my favorite songs....

Made in AXS Tracker, no VSTs, QWERTY Input only. No post process other than trim & convert.... AXS remains to date a crashless Tracker!

A four layer drone piece by Drone Orchestra. An REM Project

Leum dropped off these lyrics at the April REM Challenge recording session, to see what other folks would do with them. At the first May recording session, we scanned through the lyrics and decided to try to put them to music. Robbie had a couple…
