an overcast rainy day here in south calif.. i sat at my piano in the morning and this just sort of sprang out on the keyboard... since im learning about electric guitars this feb (for rpm) i spent the day playing with different amps and effects…
We walled ourselves in apartments and rooms away from each other. Random thoughts and mundane life was grinding us to a halt inside. Some days, we were tyrants, and some days we were saints.

I was thumbing a ride along a hot, deserted Caribbean road. When Steve pulled up in this vintage pre-war Chevy, I was very grateful. It just so happened he was heading to the same cantina I was, so we kicked back with a pitcher of mojitos…

When I was a music major one of my friends had a family which ran a funeral home - a well paid profession seeing that they had several cars, maids and butlers - and spent a few nights there. (We tended to stay up to the early am debating…

The theme for Improv Friday this week is "variations". So here's an improv reconstruction of the one classical piece I know, Bach's Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring.

March, the beginning of spring. We have snow, frost and wind. Hope dies last. Or: don't dies at all *(underline your choice)*

Hope springs eternal in the human breast;

Just a simple Blues, I'm not a harp player, but I did the best I could, puffed me out !!! Oh yeh don't tell my mate Dave. He plays the harp on all my songs & he'll have guts for garters if he finds out !!!
Time for a noodle in the middle of the house move...packing....dumping......sorting...reminiscing..... still waiting to exchange contracts and mean't to be moving Friday....a little stressed
very excellent,,, once a long time ago, when i lived in Del Rio i built a 6" newtonian,, at night i used to go down to the end of the road,,then on to the dirt and set up,,, with a dark sky from horizon to horizon,,,, wowieee,, Orion has always been a treat,, if you have a scope or even binoculars,, the sword contains one of the best of all treats to see,,, this is a really nice piece,, im on #7 for my rpm....
I purchased a new M-Audio midi keyboard during RPM. The software alone was worth the $100.

like this very much,, kind of a bummer in sentiment,, but then again,, it kind of find it fits,, thank goodness for the net, at least i can look up apocrypha

Very nice Richard it seems so celebratory and yet private in a way. Loved it.
It’s been a while since listening to a tune of your Richard a moment to think and contemplate thank you
Very nice and relaxing tune- I almost could see the clouds!
Dave and I enjoyed this very much! It was the song the quartet played at our daughter’s wedding as she walked down the isle!
This is beautiful, the notes hang in the air like snowflakes lit by a full moon.
Beautiful composition Richard, I really enjoyed it
Perfect tune to end the night. Loved it
Really delicious chord changes in those arps. Enjoyed the flowing rythm. Very nice piece. ENJOY RPM and have a great time.
Beautiful and Powerful Piece of Music
