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
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…

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…
rpm 2023
Janette Salisbury vocals
hands on top of the table
feet are flat on the floor
eyes are locked on the moment
you never saw before
merely a chance encounter
maybe a sign from above
and you’ll never feel this way
any more…
rpm 2023
Janette Salisbury vocals
taken none of my good years, darling
left me with more of the same
i will not ask you to give up nothing
there’s nothing left to explain
50 years and i’m dragging bottom
and live among the debris
whatever…
rpm 2023
Janette Salisbury vocals
we’re starving children, left alone
knocking on the door, but no one’s home
how many days have we been here
how any nights in the cold
praying that someone will answer
save our souls, save our souls…
In progress recording of "Oh Lord, Why'd You Have to Make Me So Goddamned Handsome?" which is my attempt at creating a ridiculously long song title. This recording still needs replacement vocals (these were always intended to be scratch temp vocals…
Draft recording, plan to add an acoustic at the beginning and possibly a melodica. The vocals will be re-recorded when I'm not sick. These were always intended to be a placeholder track.
6th song for my RPM album. If you like slow and depressing music...this is for you! I had a blast using my new crash cymbal and brushes...my fingers are not very pleased about playing the bass riff however (ouch).
somehow you knew me
and…
Every day, every day, every day
Every Day, Every Day, Every Day
Look for pleasure and always be kind
Every day, every day that passes by
Every day, every day, every day
Every day, every day, every day
You’ll be remembered by what you…
Made it through another year
Still don’t know why I’m here
Make some music drink some beer
Sounds alright to me
Loved ones leave
Friends come then go
Everything can change so quick
Don’t let the bullshit bring you down
Just enjoy this…
RPM day 2
Now I ain’t no groundhog baby
I can barely see my shoes
If I see a shadow it’s cos I’ve got the blues
If you want a weather forecast
I suggest that you watch the news
But I tell you something I can predict
There will be 6 more…
RPMers I salute you
Ice ice everywhere like a skating rink
I don’t wanna go nowhere
I don’t wanna think
I’ll just stay inside press record and sing
RPM is here
it’s 2am what else to do
Make up rhymes strum a chord
Find a good groove…
I write letters, but I don't send them and they go unanswered. I take them out and rewrite them, picking up the words and clarifying the meanings. I wait in hope that a reply will come someday.
I continue the conversation when it's long over…
Oh Baby its just not the same,
I can hear it when you call my name,
When you call my name,
Oh baby its just not the same,
I can feel it when you don't come home,
When you don't come home,
Oh Baby its just not the same,
I did feel…

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!

love it
yeah, sip a good drink and get into the cool vocal projection. Good job.
Wow, cool jazzy feel on this. Nice boogie. :-]
west is best and this one rocks too
Love it! Opens a nice early Elvis Costello vibe, and the American Noir vocal is great.
Nicely done. Is that yourself on keys? Very light! And I like the samples. Especially when the cop car pulls up alongside!
Dude this is some heavy music! Chris
This rocks!
Great optimism, keep living the dream.
Sounds like you might like that cold weather after all!!! Great song!
Well said and well played. These times we are living in sure are something…..
Love this riffy beat! I haven’t had a chance to listen in awhile and this was a fun one to hear. Great vocals!!
sounds like fun!
Comments made by thetworegs
I don’t recognize the tune but I enjoyed it
That tremolo certainly sets the scene love it great chorus
Jannette can certainly sing another beauty loving those keys and smooth bass not forgetting the light touch of the drummer
Excellent vocal loving the tone effect on that guitar too and the interplay with the keys an excellent start to the album
that's some good picking....Ha!Ha ! I have the same trouble
sounds great just as is ....good luck with getting sober
the bass might of hurt but I believe it was worth it and that crash sounds great
excellent exciting quite the ride
its no dirge
I think we all have to getaway ay sometime or other .....good luck with the challenge
great vocal approach
I try ....
Surely it can’t be the last lovely song
At least
Groovy
So that’s who wrote the letter I didn’t receive I sent a telegram but forgot to write the message
This bounces along great
Now Desirea although you sing with such a beautiful voice you know I’m not being enticed back ….. I’m not… really …. I’m not
Excellent
Merry Christmas 🎅🏻
