I came dangerously close to calling this ABACAB, and also to having the song form be ABACAB. Bullet dodged? I was noodling out the bass line and drum parts on my iPad and I had three sections. I couldn't decide which one had the better hook…

Did you know that if you use a drummer in GarageBand you can shut off the snare drum? I didn't. I setup the entire song with the drummer (Benny) and then copied the track to a standard MIDI drums track and deleted all the snare hits. Cool…

The first May 2020 Music project song to be finished. I did the RPM Challenge in February. In March I did another one... just because. In April I did the COVID-19 RPM Challenge Bonus edition. In May I am doing another one... just because…

Nothing special about this one except that it was written in 7/8. Also, this month I've tried to work out guitar parts using MIDI instruments when I'm fiddling out the initial bass and drum grooves. It doesn't really amount to much, it just…

The first mix for the 2019 RPM Challenge. I’m pretty sure I am going to re-record the lead guitars before the month is over. The lyrics were inspired by an @_floridaman article about a guy who drove a Ferrari into the ocean because god told…

Something about this song. I think I might really, really like this song. This is the reason why I allowed myself to use music written prior to February 1st this year. I bought a new guitar back in May and at some point during the early summer…

I'm doing all of these album in a month things following RPM Challenge rules, so 10 songs or 35 minutes. This is song #11 for June so it's legal an after thought. At least it's not slow (again). It's not the worst song this month, but it's…
