The Great 2015 Re-Recording Project finally has a final mix! In 2015, after RPM ended, I asked myself, "now what?" The answer was to take a handful of songs from the previous few years worth of song writing and recording challenges and turn…

Another re-recorded 2014 50/90 song. This one was written on or about July 4th as New England was about to get spanked by Hurricane Arthur. I tend to write about hurricanes a lot. Weird. The guitars here are all Gibson ES-335. The amps…

This song scares me. This song stresses me out. This song confuses me. I could write a song about how messed up this song makes me feel. Is it the best song I've ever written? Not even close. Why then do I insist to myself that it's the…

The first song completed for the second round of re-recorded Quarantine Tunes. This one was written on the last day of the 2016 RPM Challenge. I had written a bunch of songs saying that people who think the Earth is flat are somehow defective…

Long backstory: I was at a band practice and Greg the singer was telling a story about an acquaintance of his who had recently let it be known that he believed the Earth was flat. Seriously. We had a good laugh. A day or two later my wife…

When I wrote this back in June I was really loving everything about it except for my utter shit vocal take. I thought it was the key. When I redid it this time I lowered the key a whole step and sped up the tempo for good measure. Now I can…
