This is a cover of fellow RPMer Ienne Lynn's song "Holes" She easily is one of the best performance on RPM 2020 - with a raw sound and perfect lyrics that are so easy to relate to. This was recorded with the bare minimum of equipment. The…

Wrote this as a thank-you to someone who has been very kind to me, and who REALLY likes photography. Lyrics: Waking up on a dreary morn Eatin a big bowl of flakes of corn Read a text at 9 am 55 minutes or the chance will end R…

This song is for everyone who has failed at their Assertiveness Training. Lyrics: Sittin Spinnin Doin evrythin but winnin Startin to talk but instead I cough like an angel hell-bent on sinnin Moanin Groanin fightin with my demon…

I asked Olivia to name something (in three or four syllables) that causes her consternation. Her answer, "Society". Sometimes she follows my scratch vocal line when I record a demo for her, this time she just let it rip, and it is probably the…

I wrote this from the point of an old person, such as myself, but my vocals came out so bad that I had to get Olivia to sing it for me. Lyrics: Looking over a modern meme It's the worst that I've ever seen Everything looks a little strange…

The second song for my ridiculous post-RPM Challenge album in a month yet again thing. I was working on a guitar part for another song when I played the riff for this by accident. I dropped everything and made sure I had it recorded. I was…

My post-RPM Challenge plan is to just keep going. Here's my first March 2020 Challenge song. I am trying to go much more raw and low-fi than usual. One guitar straight into one amp. No doubling, not extensive overdubs. Same with the vocals…

Track #7 - Forgiven Sinner - Live @ Dr. Jack's

This one started as the piano piece. I was messing around and thought it had a vaguely Eddie Harris sounding vibe from Plug Me In (which is a killer record, absolutely killer). Anyway, I decided to develop it, since it sounds a little different…

This one started as the verse chords and some rambling vox melody. My demo of just gtr and me mumbling resulted in something vaguely Lennon-esque in delivery, so I kept that aspect and took it further for the mid section. The harmonies in the…

The chorus riff came first, then the verses' lyrics. Then the structure. It sounds like 1981 to me, so I just ran with it.

This one came to me as I was sleeping on a plane, delayed on a tarmac. I dreamt that McCartney was singing this, sort of. I came out of the dream abruptly when the pilot said we were finally cleared to take off. I racked my brain to figure out…

I have had this riff for a while. It needed a song. It needed cowbell. It got both, and it's a great song to drive to.
