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…
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…
This was a total experimental piece about just making a soundscape. I played instruments I don't really play, and put some thru different effects just to experiment. The Bushisms add some color to what would otherwise just be some noise. I…

That's lovely playing there. Ah it's good to hear this. Martin was born just down the road from here, and we get to hear him play quite often. Bravo to ye for tackling this and making such a great track

this song was inspired from an ee cummings poem. it was composed for rpm 2009.
lyrics:
i'll tell you a dream i had once
up in the sky blue everything
flying away a kite on a string
i didn't have anything
i was cool you were warm…
I heard someone say to an undergraduate class, 'you're on your way to everywhere' and I loved that line. This is sort of a Beatle-esque tune. My friend Mike Levine stopped by while recording a showed me a new jig on the mandolin. I recorded…
This was written for RPM 2009, mostly in January and was inspired by from a mix of current events and personal journey.
Lyrics:
The Queen of Pearls is wearing diamonds
up and down her fingers
She holds the door to the castle
where memories…

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..

My first completed 2013 RPM track. Thanks to Kavin for turning a simple acoustic song into what you hear today.
ONE LAST DANCE
I never got to tell you what's been on my mind
It might be just as well now that we're running out of time…
This song is about the RPM Challenge; having 28 days (yes, I cheated, this year we get 29) to write and record a 10 song album. The illustrious Ghost Tea (http://soundcloud.com/ghosttea) added some rhymes to make it extra special!

Lyrics:
I’m just about as lucky as a man can be
I got the voice of an angel that’s guiding me
Once in a while I don’t hear a sound
That’s when I know I’m going all the way down
I remember those times I lost my…
All first take improvisations. 8 tracks of madness for your enjoyment. Ear goggles will put you inside this piece. Not recommended for the faint of heart!
Recorded between 9AM - 7PM on the 26th of February.

In your web I have been caught
Not enough to fill you up
Leave me a skin
A shell of the man that I was…
Another experiment...
This time in Spanish
2/25/12: Somehow the original file got broken, so I had to re-upload this... nothing new here, except I lost all my nice comments :(
In the year 2000 I had my little girl visit me every other weekend. This song was written then and is sung from a child's needs perspective, keeping the bonds of love between daughter and father alive. It is sad, and hopeful, and explores the…
Another cut from the 1988 cassette tape of a live performance by Scartaglen on the NPR show Mountain stage. This time some tunes from County Kerry.

Final version
RPM 2011 - my first track recorded and the opening track for the CD
A kind of Old Time gospel number, which, if you listen to those pre-war guitar playing preachers, are virtually indistinguishable from blues. Except for the lyrics…
