Since Norm found himself in an acoustically great room, full of unfinished cabinets I couldn't help but add some acoustic guitar, crank it up and hope you like it Norm!

The most excellent thing about this, besides your trade-mark sweet stringing, is how you phrased this so very differently than I had ever heard it. That's one of the charms of rhythm - how you hear it depends upon where you are starting from. I think I much prefer your ear to mine with this one. Many thanks.

Deadlines, freeways, appointments, things to do lists, expectations, getting older, not enough hours in the day to get everything done? ..... make each day and moment count! Thanks to Dave Matthews for a lick I threw in there. Enjoy!

one of those 'it was written even before i started' songs that just rolls out like magic
i tried to keep it simple so as not to destroy the vibe
first finished (if unmixed) track for RPM 2010
This track is off of the third CD. It was written on a trip that I made to South America. I composed it in my hotel room on a traveling guitar. We heard a lot of tango music that week and while the feel and phrasing was inspired by the tango…
This is piece that I recorded while playing in my living room one morning. It's a purely improvised piece. I just put the Mac laptop into record and began playing. I used my Goodall 12 string in standard tuning. I always include improvs when…
Based around a fragment I came up with around 10 years ago in University believe it or not, while I was learning to play guitar. As you can see, I was homesick. :) Thanks so much to Gary for adding a bit of spice with the bass, lead guitar and…

Solo acoustic finger picking thing I've been working on for a while. Sometime around 1968 I started studying with Mr. George Bennett who taught me the rudiments of finger picking. Later when we played some gigs together he also taught me the rudiments…

Deep songwriting. I like it. It sets a real mood.
Beautiful sound
This guitar's a real roller :] Travellin' without movin', you don't need anything else than that :]
Wicked! This is a new horizon for me, like it :]
Beautiful job Rick! That new axe is sounding great!
Really liking what you have done here, it's great.
This is brilliant - I love the blend between your awesome guitar and Normy's fine cabinetry masterpiece!

Thats the beauty of collaboration 1+1>2 Thanks Norm
like those cool ethnic drum lines you had playing with the acoustic guitar, the ending mini-jam was impressive!
excellent synthesis of acoustic instruments complimenting each other perfectly!

Very nicely done... The perfect addition to Norm's outstanding use of cabinetry. Great job, Rick!

3 nice change ups here and good guitar flow and tone though the whole piece Rick.
Nice crystal clear samples, dropped in at perfect times. ideal for this percussion track
Really nice sound, everything works well together :)
