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

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…

Lets learn to Rock n Roll

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…
Steve developed this beautiful track with his ukulele and I added some lyrics to make a "positive message" song for the times we are in.... Hope it makes you smile too...
It Won’t Be Like This Forever
Sitting here on my front steps

from the album "the Machine"
it's hard without a heart
pretending to care
watching with greed and spite
you're unaware
you'll never see the ghost inside the machine
you're weak and all alone
that's why you fail
programmed to fix the…
A simple one-track mandolin tune. In fact it's the first tune I ever made on the mandolin. I think it would be better with a bodhran drum accompanying it, but I don't know how to play those!
Maybe someday this will work its way into something…

So, what do you think... could it use more wah-wah?
This was written for the 2014 RPM Challenge. The chromatic thing at the beginning had been rattling around in my head for years and years but had never found a home.
The lyrics here…
I’ve seen you crash back down into the ash
Like an inverted Phoenix
So delectable yet totally ineffectual
Those intellectual verbal tricks
I’ve tried to save ya from your bad behaviour
And keep you safe within the mix
I’ve been here to…
The acoustic sounds stunning ..excellent lyrics ..you managed to get the word astronomical in a song you set the bench high....poor Lydia... a beautiful song well performed ...piepod bound
The first song completed for the second round of re-recorded Quarantine Tunes. This one was written on the last day of the 2016 RPM Challenge. I had written a bunch of songs saying that people who think the Earth is flat are somehow defective…
This is a love song for Idaho. Funny thing is I've never even been to Idaho, but I dreamed the chorus and the happy little riff some years ago, and it's stuck with me ever since. So, I filled it in with some verses and an outro that capture the…
So, this is completely different!! In a homage to my favourite place to watch live music in the land...Ronnie Scotts....I have put together a groovin' jazz instrumental piece with a 'live' feel....!! Not really fusion as such, but added to the…
A silly, sort of dreamlike / lullaby-ish tune, about weird travels on a bubble-gum balloon.
Lyrics:
See one time I was chewing bubble gum and it was mighty fine
I blew a bubble so big it took me up into the sky
So this is the story of where…

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!

This rocks!
Great optimism, keep living the dream.

Well said and well played. These times we are living in sure are something…..
