I'll leave it to the listener to decide if it's more of a bonus to listen to this track or skip it. This is more of the didgeridoo/Otamatone/Stylophone session. ©2024 by Geekido Music (Chris Cooke). All rights reserved. Recorded for the 2024…

Another Monroe-Robinson collaboration. So glad Kenny brought those two together a few years ago! As with a few other tracks this time around, Robbie recorded his parts on his own, then we replaced the canned GarageBand drum loops with actual…

This one was kind of a scatter-shot collaboration. Robbie was playing around with the guitar riff before band practice one night, so Kenny and I (Kevin) joined in on vocals and drums, respectively. Robbie recorded that jam, then fleshed out the…

This short track also spawned from Robbie’s “E Rock Jam”, though in a more roundabout way than Sugar Free Jam earlier on the album. On 2/17, we recorded John’s drum tracks for the full 5-minute song, then got a take of Cody playing keys along…

Another lovely Monroe/Robinson collaboration. This one was recorded piecemeal across the whole month of February 2024, with Robbie adding the guitar lead on 2/29 while I (Kevin) was doing the final(-ish) mixes! Leum Monroe – lyrics Robbie…

Everything was recorded live off the floor except the harmony vocal track, which was added a couple of weeks later. Margaret Bibb – lyrics, songwriting, vocals Robbie Robinson – guitar Kevin Craig – recording, bass, mixing These Old Boots…

Toward the end of the month, I (Kevin) got a wild hair to try something silly with Robbie’s sweet little acoustic ditty about the cycle of the seasons, which lets us end the album on a sweet and hopeful note. Hope you like it! Robbie Robinson…

2024 RPM Challenge idea number 16 becomes finished song number 17. This one will make the album, I think. I kinda like it even though I am sure I have written this exact song about 100 times before. Oh well. It has a nice 6/8 groove…

You know that road...

Jus a little groove.

That satisfactory feeling after all the hard work is done.

Some memories of an easy sky and an easy day.

Sometimes ya gotta remember life is a verb.

Louder is better, more better, best-est.

The mischievous hungry tech pirates at it again.

2024 RPM Challenge idea number 13 becomes finished song number 18. I like this one. It's kinda bouncy and fun. The melody is better than my usual crap too. A little bit better at least. Rhythm guitars are a Les Paul Custom. Leads are…
