Don't really remember the story for this...written smack dab in the middle of Feb in RPM madness...it happenened, then I moved on and I let go of it...Mike Novak on egg...another song where I waited for a drummer friend to show up that never did...

An RPM 2009 song. Well, this was a personal story for me that came about when your past intersects (briefly) with the present.

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…

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.

I wanted to take a shot at this too, so here's my demo. It was really just half…
Again i'd love some feedback
I like the feel and the mix
do the lyrics work?
recorded t'night in an hour after trying all day to get the verse lyrics rammed into another tune
This one is a personal favorite of mine, though it got savaged on Garageband.com. Ah well...
It has a lot of parts, lots of gtrs, and boatloads of harmonies. Actually, one guy on Garageband loved it. Maybe some day I will buy him a drink.

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…
Gumbo, you are right...those are the correct song titles. I am a huge fan of Martin Hayes..and Dennis Cahill. What a combo...love the dynamics between the two. I encourage everybody to check them out.
This is a total remake of an earlier posting.

something which draws me as it were homeward. A son…
This is from our album, "When I Was Your Age," recorded entirely in the month of February for our third year participating in the RPM Challenge. "When I Was Your Age" is a collection of 13 songs looking back at when we were kids.
thanks for these childhood memories that you've managed to completely capture - i have freed the repressed photomat booth man that was locked within and he is now running wild like a cave man in the 21st century
you tell me what you want
you tell what you need
i cant give you nothing honey
but this pretty little seed
where has the sun gone
and is it gone forever
will it come back someday
should we just give it some time
i ask you what…
