Norm played the percussion first, which is a Bembe pattern; I couldnt help playing a melody and creating lyrics for this perc track. Thanks for the listen, Enjoy!
Ok, I'm ready for the song describing how the guys go off to a secluded island/mountain cabin/desert cave with their instruments, a case of scotch and a Weber grill. In the future, please use my percussion patterns to write a song likw that.
this was originally a song about breaking through paradigms but turned into a song about a girl.
Keys and string samples from Korg, MIDI with the old Ensoniq,
one diving board.
Thanks for the listen ,enjoy... RW

I did the guitar and bass tracks first, then procured my 10 year olds cello for the main bass line :) I also tried my luck playing cello with a bow on this track- which was a new experience.
The trumpet and violin bits are played…

Good ole wah pedals ;) I think sometime in the future i would like to invest in a talk-box...why? i have no idea, i think if i ran my guitar with a synth effect on it, through the talk box to a wah....it might get interesting.

he was nuts. too creative for his own good. he used to get high on absinthe all the time and that really altered his reality. it essentially fucked him up good. Hemmingway was another absinthe user/abuser. do da maff.

A little dark......
I stand at the junction between life & death
As the count begins to rise
The darkened moon weeps but is blind to the grief
Of the ones left behind
We weep but we can not hide
Daytime nighttime the hunt for…
Poor old Reg everything was going swimmingly until he fell of the wagon, 6 weeks dissapeared and guess what his wife didn't understand and he's out on his ear again, he's got no one to blame but himself but he's gone a bit weird this time…
How are you friend?? I need to get on AT more often. dont know if its covid or what, but many great peeps and tunes of late. Makes me happy. I like the ambiance change at 1:20
I wrote this one in response to a song writing challenge from the Minnesota Association of Songwriters. The title had to be Mississippi Moon and it had to have a I V VI I II chord progression somewhere in the song. Over 20 writers have signed…
Music written and performed by Mike Smith, also known as Dragonsong.
When Mike first asked me to read this poem, he believed it was written around the time of the Spanish Flu...but, our sources say no. It was most likely written by Kitty O…

And here's another song from 1994, with a sparkling new "Andrew Russe Band" arrangement fresh from the broom-cupboard.
Like most of my songs, it was written with an acoustic guitar, a pen, and an A4 pad. The ones…
Nice song. Like the stop up at 2:00. Pretty intense. I’m laughing a bit about the name ‘lament ‘which obviously was supposed to be ‘the practical gardener’. That sounds familiar with my stuff too., lol. 15 years can put a new perspective on almost anything. Cheers.
Ukulele and vocals performed by Jazz, 12.
She's starting to write her own stuff (proud!) but just to get her in the studio for the first time, here is a cover of a song by Vance Joy.
So it has been a while since my last RPM. I felt this song was the best was to reintroduce myself with the insane process that is the RPM Challenge....

Very cool!
Precious recording!
Sweet tune.
sounds good, like the 'night sounds' as well.

I hated this song from the moment I heard it. It was the last song in the world I wanted to hear. I still hate it, but I listen to it every day.
This is really great. I love the changes.
