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
People close i’ve loved the most have had to say goodbye
All the dreams I had when I was young

RPM CHALLENGE 2024
FLAME OF LOVE
Sometimes you make me so confused
I just don’t know what the hell I’ve got to do
Life may go up but it always comes down

Dulling our flame of love…

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 .....
I ain't no Mr Nice
Busted broke in Vegas
But I still ain’t had enough
Ain’t got nothing left to give you…

Living the Dream
I was living in Memphis just…
It's too bloody cold to go out today so I picked up the guitar and this came out ....Thanks for listening
Lets learn to Rock n Roll
Hey Mr
Yeah you
I know all you say ain’t true
I can see you pretend to be what your not
So come on…
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
And you…
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…
Last of the archives for now. A set of reels from the Last Nights Fun album. I did pipes, whistle and guitar on the last tune in the set. There's a live version of this up here too. This is the studio cut
I was flapping around working on something else with just vocal and guitar the other day. It wasn't going well, so I just started slapping the guitar and singing one of my favourite songs.
What I didn't realise was that I was recording it…
New one from me. It's ended up as a bit of a "crying into yer beer at Bob's Country Bunker" sort of song lol...
I've been sat on these lyrics in some form or another for absolutely years. I first wrote them one very dark night a few years after…
Thanks Andy your on the money... not sure what upset him in the lyrics I can't find anything offensive but hey it takes alsorts to make a world he must have been having a bad day.... And by the way this is still a beauty
This one's a bit of a ponderous beastie.
It can be whatever you want it to be. For me, it's got a lot to do with Sunday 18th June 1815.

Summertime in Boston, and this little tune is about how it goes by way too fast. Some hilarious chatter between the guys before and after they kick of a pseudo-psychedelic groove that I hope you will enjoy.
An original that I wrote and performed all instruments on. I used a keyboard, acoustic guitar, electric guitar and I sang vocals. I guess I would call the genre Rock with a psychedelic flavor? Take a listen and feel the groove. Peace.
My humble tribute to Freddie King... Without him we wouldn't have Eric & without Eric, I would probably have never picked up a guitar.
This is sort of a pastiche of Hide Away & The Stumble & tracks like that :-)
A BIG, BIG thank you to Wildgeas who took my simple acoustic guitar song and turned it into a beautiful work of art. Arrangements and Production done magnificently by Paul Lennon (Wildgeas). Also, special thank you to Bethan who put her sweet…
This one is dedicated to my dear friend John. Thanks for changing my life for the better....
Also a big thanks to our own Greg Connor who helped me get the chords for my own uke accompaniment, and who kindly played the beautiful guitars…
