This is a live recording of a set I did with guitarist Mike Levine on a University of New Hampshire radio show. This is one of the 'songs' we did. It is a 5-tune Irish fiddle set that was previously done by the great Irish fiddle player Martin…

I love songs about snow, they're nearly always gentle like the falling flakes. Loving this.

a song that just evolved during RPM 2013...it was my new RPM strategy - record what happens, try to build it, move on, don't think too much about it...keep moving! It was a different approach for me this year...

I love it, and I can definitely relate to it. This is getting to be a long winter. It's nice to hear a mandolin around here.

An RPM 2009 song. Well, this was a personal story for me that came about when your past intersects (briefly) with the present. Lyrics: 20 years running through time and I remember all the magic lines that in our younger days we drew…

I wrote this in Feb 2012 - I've been getting into watching documentaries on the NASA Apollo program and also having fun with a Telecaster. The Sea of Tranquility is a place on the Moon.

I was planning on doing a theme-based rpm this year on outer space, but didn't manage to get all the rpm songs to fit. I've been reading a lot of Stanislaw Lem - probably my favorite science fiction author - and dedicate this to him. His books…

I especially loooove the music on this one. So well thought out and played. Hark, can that be a mandolin?

Messing around with a Korg. Part of my outer-space theme - the Apollo program ended with Apollo 17...imagine if they had 51 missions! Also, a subtle link to Area 51.

Wonderfully ethereal atmosphere. I love the way it floats away into space at the end.
