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…
Back to enjoy this once again!
i just got home to find a mandolin on my doorstep ( i ordered it ;-) a bit of a risk but i needed it for RPM).
So it is most fortuitous to remember this magical recording. Hup!
Recorded at an oceanography meeting in Salt Lake City this February (2012). The Ekman Spiral is a phenomena that describes the vertical change in ocean current from wind at the surface, which is in a spiral decreasing with depth. The spoken…
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...
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…
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.

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…
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…

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.
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…

-In A Day-
Half a Glass of Gasoline
Mixed with Some Kerosene
Stirred in with Coffee
Laced with amphetamine
All That it Takes in A Day
To get by…
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

puts me in mind of laying in the grass after a lazy hazy day in a foreign country
Lovely.
I love songs about snow, they're nearly always gentle like the falling flakes. Loving this.
Lovely picking there!
Groovy! TASTY TOO!
Love the album, congratulations to an RPM conquered.
Shades of Garcia/Grisman too. Like it!
Oh Yeah! I'm hungry for more now.
it's the approach i use all the time....like the Mando acoustic sound....like your voice....shall be back for more...
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.
Still love this one! So lovely to have met you the other day!
Nice writing! Love the dobro
Yup this ol,Mountain Yankee likes this fine.
Very well played and most tranquil too.
Very touching!
A wonderfully gentle and well played instrumental.
I especially loooove the music on this one. So well thought out and played. Hark, can that be a mandolin?
Really pretty. Ah,love the music too. Sounds like a perfect place for a picnic. Hang on, I'll pack the hamper!
Wonderfully ethereal atmosphere. I love the way it floats away into space at the end.
