This is a last minute bit of guitar goofiness. I own three Gibson guitars and have been wanting to write a silly instrumental that includes all of them. This is it. The rhythm guitar is my '79 ES 335 Pro, the lead on the left is my '18 SG Standard…

A track over twenty years in the making. I came up with it sitting in front of the TV with an unplugged borrowed Rickenbacker 360 (thanks, Mark). The Santana vibe just happened. I made a four track cassette recording of it just to get it down…

A simple little ballad. I wrote it thinking of meaningful relationships gone south.
The guitar is a Les Paul Studio through a Boss AC-3 Acoustic Simulator and Electro-Harmonix Grand Canyon delay.

Welcome to my RPM album. The line "You might not get what you want - You'll get what you deserve" came to me without me truly understanding it.

This one is a turd and a half. I knew it was a loser from the word go but my February rule is everything that can be completed will be. As a result we have a song where the guitars are half assed, the lyrics are half assed, the vocals are half…

There is almost no snow this year, it appears for some time from nowhere and immediately disappears. I look at this all out the window, and found myself looking more and more often back at the past experience. Is this a sign of age? Hmm, I certainly…

I forgot to write an ending for this one. That's why it fades out. Lots of squawky saxophone. I must have been running out of gas when I recorded it. The lower vocal part has a lot of iffy pitches. I'm sort of glissing between notes and I…

Another band mix of an acoustic song. I had a hard time getting GarageBand's drummer to fit. I went from way too busy to way too passive to mildly too busy and decided to live with it. I think the problem was probably the 7/4 time signature…
