Got the basic idea for this from Keith Wyatt's Guitar World column (Talkin' Blues, Feb 2014) in which he discusses some of guitarist Grady Martin's work.
Didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped (my left forearm was burning like hell after each take). After the acoustic version, there's a distorted version, but the tapped harmonics at the beginning sound pretty crappy with distortion. I also added…
I was reading about Tosin Abasi and listening to a lot of his music around the time I recorded this, even though it doesn't sound very much like his stuff.

This acoustic song is a drunk nihilistic escapade with a surprise ending; so if you like to howl, join along and do your best "ahhoooo.."
Lyrics:
At full moon, I was drunk as a skunk
My belly full of bourbon, and my breath really stunk…
Psychological consequences of war.....written and performed by Nick Plagakis.....Lyrics:
Sixty seven shots ringing
Across the desert, heads are spinning
Bang, Bang Bang; is all I hear
Bang, Bang, Bang;…
This song was inspired by a long walk....
Lyrics:
Down by the river, down by the shore we go
The moon above cast a beautiful glow
We walked around talking through the night
I can’t help but think how it felt right
Hey Constance, don’t you feel…
This song was actually composed before Part 1, but I would rather them be listened to in this order. This was also my first full song ever composed. I'm personally proud of the outro solo near 4:40.
I was listening to Jesmiaus earlier Trick of your love (RPM2012) and it gave me an idea for my first RPM this year...so thanks Will...... hope you all enjoy this....i did doing it...they say smoking weed can make you schitzophrenic but i’m not…
The fourth and final Hurricane Irene song. Also, the worst of the bunch, which probably explains why it took five months to finish it. At least it's better than the last piece of garbage I uploaded.
The hurricane was somewhat of a letdown…
Reg has done a reading from Edgar Allen Poe's work The Raven for you this evening in one take mistakes and all ....he hopes the words wash over you with some understanding....it was a bit of a tongue twister
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.
Kirk Lynch- Uilleann pipes and whistle. Becky Pringle- Fiddle. Mike Dugger- Fiddle and guitar…
This is a live cut from an NPR radio broadcast back in 1988 while my Irish Trad group Scartaglen was on one of its first east coast tours. Found recently on a cassette tape. Musically this was one of my favorite periods in the history of the band…
The Brood have gone visiting and i have sometime so i've been busy as you may have noticed ....so heres a ad-libber with the £16 special....i always write miserable songs when i'm happy the happy ones come when i'm depressed....i'm normally quite…
I really enjoyed this collab took me back to my teens....Led Zep 2 was my first introduction into Zeppelin and i loved every track....and thanks to Gene i got to be the lead singer for a few Minutes..
