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 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…

Named by a friend, there is a little island that appears and disappears with the tide. We go there sometimes in the Great Bay in New Hampshire.

Hey Vegetable Man, Just been diggin this whole mix of tunes. Great songs, playing and singing... and great variety. This last one must be played on the hill some day with a shaker attached to my foot and brushes on the cooler!
I was listening to Leonard Cohen a lot this winter, and these lyrics sort of came out from there...don't know what they really mean, i was more interested in trying to see if I could mimic Leonard's style, which of course I can't, but this was…
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.

My last rpm song - based on the police log in a local paper. The writer must have been feeling poetic - more than half of these are word for word and the rest were slightly changed to fit the rhyming scheme.
My incomparable musicians:
Dobro…
Really good song with harmonies and I love the music. Vocal perhaps a bit more forward in the mix?
Has the feel of "Running Horses" of yours which I love. I have been getting stick over being more out in the mix, so I know! Wow, this just gets better. What a great track.

This is probably the last of this stuff from the archives that I'll upload. Rescued from a cassette tape of a live performance with former band mates in Scartaglen. These tunes are popular down in the Southwest of Ireland. Michael(Fiddle) and…

Straight ahead stone city electric blues for an old friend who used to spend hours spinning BB King and Mike Bloomfield records for me. Recorded back sometime at the end of 2006 on old analog equipment
Matter Of Fate- This song started as a riff I was doing while tuning my guitar. It sounded cool, so I happened to record it on a small dictation recorder I have so I wouldn’t forget it. When I listened to the riff it just screamed Sticky Fingers…

great lyrics and tune - it made me laugh to see the spaceman as one of your influences...i grew up in mass. in the 70's and saw him more than once at fenway...cool!!
Mining the archives a bit. This is an alternate take of my "Jimi Jam" from a couple of years ago. Live to 2 tracks with the Jamman. Really only sounds OK when cranked up loud enough that your eardrums threaten to meet in the middle. LOL!!
I'm a complete idiot when it comes to all things midi related. Recently got myself a midi keyboard though and came up with this short piece just messing with sounds in Proteus. Really looking forward to the possibilities of combining this sort…
Sitting around in my shop a couple of days ago with the Goodall and the Zoom H4N. First time I've really messed with using the internal mics on the H4N in multitrack mode
hey man, another cool tune...they're all great actually...i love your mandolin playing throughout the album too! well, you know i'm partial to that...love all the lyrics too
one of those 'it was written even before i started' songs that just rolls out like magic
i tried to keep it simple so as not to destroy the vibe
first finished (if unmixed) track for RPM 2010
