RPM CHALLENGE 2024
A MOOCH DOWN THE BOULIVARD IN NEW YORK
I walk these city streets alone
footsteps from behind dance out the time
Murmmers of truth hang in the air
As I roam down the Boulivard
Lost within the beat, echoing from the…
I’ve thought it before, but I don’t know if I commented, best album cover of the year or right there for me. It’s cool that you actually saw the Led Zeppelin building
Thought it before, but don’t know if I commented, this album, cover photo wins and down for me. I can’t believe you actually got a pic the physical graffiti building. It looks the same!
Well guess what it was raining again and Reg was bored so he got Tom on the phone out of the workshop... god knows what he was creating in there and got him to lay down a vocal for him. Rainy days are the worst.....

I'VE GOT TO PUT ON THE BRAKES
I’m sure everyone realises that life just seems to pass you by

FLAME OF LOVE
Sometimes you make me so confused
I just don’t know what the hell I’ve got to do

We’re gonna get down
Get down let loose and let loose

For the first track for this years RPM. I recently went on a short break to New York for the first time and had a walk about with my camera and explored most of Manhattan over the three or four days and man did my feet hurt at the end of it…
The wife has gone riding so I came down the cellar and turned up the amps using my Tele and 335 to see what I could come up with .....

Lets learn to Rock n Roll
Hey Mr

Reg has been reading the papers again, it always brings him down, but this time he can't carry on looking the other way and ignoring the news and the facts that the life, the freedoms he holds dear are slowly being dissolved not just by his government…
A day of from the gardening and my first go at organising drums in Easy drummer that funnily didn't turn out to be so hard . I'm playing the Tele with the Kemper and Boss Me-90 Thanks for listening
You shook me from my middle

With a little help from some of the lyrics of the Doors descriptions of the uncertainty of the 60's Reg has decided to do a kind of Punk song from both sides about the trouble in England which seems to be igniting the youth to set light and loot…

Tuning:
Harmonic six-star, group A, from Fokker

A string composition played on Fender Mustang driving a Roland GR-20 that was re-tuned on the fly
And another one I didn't share from the same day. I must of been in a funk where it all sounded really bad. This improvisation concentrates more on melodic aspects of 22 edo though there are some harmonies.
Love song about strife in relationships....the song needs more work; gotta redo the vocals....nevertheless, I hope you enjoy it. Here are the lyrics:
Beyond the horizon,
The sun burns bright…
My Last Demon
-
My last demon
Follows me around
I hear his suggestions
But you don't hear a sound
My last demon
Is riding in the back
He looks like he's sleeping
But he's on the attack
He leans in and whispers
And I forget…
a vocal of a delirious priest preaching to the masses of climate change.......they will listen.........they must or they will burn.....don't they realise it's getting hotter.......excellent
here's the demented lyrics :)
Spinning the wrong way
Little Tim has left the room
left the lady with the broom
she looks like she has a tail
she most certainly ain’t frail
she has a pointed hat

It's a story about life and death, and how we look at our mortality, and time, until one person gets an idea how to cheat death, or cripple the rusted, timekeeper, otherwise known as 'The Doomsday Clock". Can they actually alter fate, and 'recalibrate…
