Reg was just tootling about with the piano and he got possessed by someone and just couldn't stop. He's thinking it must have been the Devil himself because he just couldn't stop......or maybe it was the Moonshine........

My first rehearsal with some local jazz artists. This was just us getting to know each other, musically speaking. It was fun :)

Songs sometimes are best left to the listener. This is one of them.

The lyrics are pretty selfexplanatory; it's about so-called magic-pill-solutions. The doubletracked "guitarsolos" could have been better but I only recorded them on the last day and thought it might be OK a little rough and off. I did them really…

I re-imagined this Neil Young Folky song as an acoustic blues song.

My mother was telling me a story the other day and at one point she used the phrase "I used to could..." and I thought it would make a good title for a funk jam, so I went home and recorded this. Hope you like it.

Changed this one up into a bit Alt.Country vibe

The Devil blocks your view at the drive-in, and steals some of your snacks. What an asshat.

I haven't tried the vox pipes in a few months. I've been sickly and singing was out of the question. After 24 days of instrumental RPM, I started getting back to 99%. Might as well sing right? Better yet , let me trash the greatest song of…

You'll find me there. Discover my smile. I'll be confused, and so will you, But it won't last for long. Because you and I were never meant for this place. Soon you'll see- We're better with wings. It's in the air, Reaching out for a hundred…

The past holds nothing for a man so proud. Nothing for a man like you. I feel like I haven't lived before tonight. That terrifies me. Would you like to take a walk or something? She keeps the truth held tight inside, but her eyes show.. something…

Hello stranger. I've been waiting with a compliment for you, In case it's something that you don't already know. Hello stranger. There is always something left unsaid. But just ask me and i'll tell you, though I don't even know your name. We…

This was written during a time when I was away from home a great deal. My better half called me, and the gist of the conversation became the lyrics of this song. ER

Acoustic interlude with a slightly lower tempo that leads into If. The solo is a mix of two improvised takes.

First song written...this actually had words, but I never got brave enough to sing them.

Jeff Chamber's voice mail greeting

Finally going to end this RPM with a slop fest. Pretty disgusted with my efforts. I did have some fun though. I feel like I just gave birth to a full set of Ludwigs. High gloss black of course.

Sloane did me a favor & played an electric guitar part on this one. I had hoped to work with her more on this project, but she wound up leaving town to help take care for a recovering family member. ------------------ Seventeen thousand…

(RPM 2011) For obvious reasons, many RPM albums make use of improvisational sound collages. ;-) This is the first of three that divide the record into sections. You may or may not hear the connections in the lyrics, but it actually does make…

This is an experiment in stacking real time delay/looped tracks that had no preconceived connections... all overdubs were done without listening to previously recorded tracks. I hear some very interesting synchronizations.... You? RPM 2011 -
