Gradual buildup to a subtle ending. Ebow

With all of the "noise" in daily life I felt it might be nice to put some quiet, almost ambient and thoughtful, dreamy, melodies on top of the sounds of the mall food court.

The most challenging, both in terms of writing/recording, and accessibility I believe on this album. I had a "vision" and I am happy with how it turned out. Still Runnin.... My hybrid car is goin' fast My battery replaces gas I'm feelin…

Props to Digi. What is that time signature??

Rough mix, first take on vocals. I once was walking alone And by and by I turned to stone It never seemed like it could be Just like a distant memory And as you walk along Your thoughts drift up on the shore To me, a simple human man…

The "standout" track of the bunch. This one came out of nowhere, just appeared in my head one day and the family chaos in the living room seemed to be in the background while I was writing these lyrics. Thankfully that's all it took as I feel…

This certainly could have been recorded again to be cleaned up on vox and guitar, but I felt the background commentary added just the right touch :)

This needed a real band/orchestra. But the keyboard did a descent job.

The Right Time” is a veritable tour de force, with its soul-dance feel and his biting solo work cutting through. The choice of notes is great as is the give and take between the West Coast soul back- ing and his cat-and-mouse guitar work…

When our band played a gig in January in Alameda, I realized that playing 4 hours of music for our collective "friends and family" was and is, indeed, as good as it gets!

This is the Nashville version of my song, performed by Tim Buppert. The words and music are mine and I have waivers from the singer and all of the musicians involved in the recording of my song.

She shows up on his doorstep as though nothing had happened, as though the passage of time alone was enough to erase what she'd done to him. Will he take her back?

He's wondering how he'll make it through the cold and lonely night....

As things fall apart in the Ukraine (oh, so close after the Russian Olympics!) I wonder how many people will be wondering the same thing....

Another from the "oughts" dusted off and tweaked for the RPM Challenge 2014.

A little ditty i recorded at the weekend and then sent off to the Mighty Two Regs to strut his stuff all over and man that boy can sing!!! Cheers Reg,your a star!!!

Arbeit Macht Frei...work will set you free. Always assuming you can find any...

A short piano piece that is more or less just improvised and played in one take.....hope you enjoy
