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 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…
this was my last rpm song...i had a little mandolin riff and threw on the kazoo (which broke in the last verse), and it reminded me a happy bee buzzing around...and there you have it!

This was my last rpm2010 piece. i had recorded the rhythm track in early feb, and put the triple mandolin harmonies on at the very end of feb. i really love mandolin harmonies...this has more of a mediterranean vibe...
The lyrics were co-written with Mike Novak. I sent him the music, and we worked from there. I've done that a bunch with friends from Canada (Me Man Jack - check them out) and its fun to collaborate..
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 was going through a real bad relationship breakup this fall...this is the abstraction of that relationship. Happy ending though, we are patching things up and working on getting back together. Hard to walk away from 15 years of experiences…

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.

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 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…

Nice one mate dig this.
One of my all time faves. I love this track, I also love singing along with you. Cute pussy cat!
I always think you have a most endearing, lonesome sounding quality. A lovely song.
I liked this song very much. Very tenderly delivered. Well done. ER
I don't think my message went through... I said I'll have to write a track about the goofy grin on that Bumblebee's lil face.
what was this bee smoking? Very nice track guy.
HAHA! This is great fun! Can't help but smile!
Mmmmmmm... sittin' here sippin' my Mimosas, laying on the beach in the Riviera..... life is good. Nice job
I like the steel, too. And I like the fade vox at the end of your verses... nice effect and brings the feel to the front.
