This was the third song I started working on this month and it's the 15th song finished. What does that tell you? I liked it a lot when I first came up with the idea. When I put the rhythm guitars down it started to feel like it wasn't meeting…

The second song started is the sixth song finished. Not terrible, though there are a lot of bad guitar sounds. The rhythm tone is kinda sloppy. The playing is sloppy too, but the tone itself is more noticeable this time. The lead sounds flubby…

Okay... there's a lot to talk about with this goof ball. The first song I did this year had a drone-like fuzzy guitar. I did it again here but I wanted the song I put around it to be different than the other one, even though the changes are…

This is the 20th and final song for the 2021 RPM Challenge. Nothing left to do now but to sort the songs into the album that gets submitted and the leftovers album that doesn't. This one's on the bubble. I expect it to go into the leftovers…

I should have named this song Double Meaning Blues. Allow me to explain. My wife, step son, and I spent much of January and early February working on redesigning a couple of rooms in our house. A big part of the project involved putting together…

I started writing this one in January and finished it and recorded it in February. Now in hindsight I'm thinking I should probably have left it in January. I like the chorus. I kinda like the two guitars trading 8's and the guitarmonies. Otherwise…

Pointless backstory that won't be interesting to anyone other than me when I look back at this tune at some point in the distant future: RPM Challenge asks for 10 songs or 35 minutes recorded in February. FAWM asks for 14 songs written during…

This was the third song I started working on this month and it's the 15th song finished. What does that tell you? I liked it a lot when I first came up with the idea. When I put the rhythm guitars down it started to feel like it wasn't meeting…

This was the 12th song started this month and it's the 14th song finished. It's important in that it officially makes me a winner for FAWM this year, but it's unimportant for the RPM Challenge as this puppy goes straight to the dropped song list…
