Rockford (Damn, I Miss Georgia)

Founding Member Transmission Part 2

I barely know what I'm doing (and I am unconcerned)

Inchyra Blue (Richard Edwards), remixed by M. Metzler

I'm only as good as you think I am
A sugarcoated trainwreck
Don't expect a second chance

Nobody knows you, then you die
All the world is dead in my eyes

I'm only as me as you think I am
A calloused charm means harm 
Youre all just victims of my circumstance 

Nobody knows you then you die 
All the world is dead in my eyes 

Remember the one that got away
Ligatures loosened
With emaciation 

Remember the ones that lay decayed
They're all just credit
To my rage, a debt repayed 

Nobody knows you then you die 
All the world is dead in my eyes

Nice Guy

Love Don't Pay The Bills In The Great Pandemic

Songs gathered from a set of 400+recorded to tapes since 1996 for a formal release.  55 Tracks selected from the shoeboxes of demos. 26 were sequenced by singer-songwriter and poet Cameron McGill in 2012 for a what was going to be a box set.  Those are considered volumes 1 and 2 of this set.   Volume 1 is #1-13.  Volume 2 is #14-26.  Volumes 3 and 4 are sequenced by Andy Whorehall.  Volume 3 is tracks #27-38.  Volume 4 is #39 - 49   The project has since been abandoned until funds are proper to release it with a matching book of illustrations, photos, short stories, and additional songs.

About a year ago my friend and poet Cameron﻿ offered to help me tie up a music project I started in 1996 and abandoned here and there due to many factors.  One being, I know my limitations and have extreme creative A.D.D..–I'm already bored typing this in a normal person way (without all-caps and F words or made up nonsense).  Along the way over 400+ songs ended up on cassettes in shoeboxes and then on hard drives. Some worked over and on until they were destroyed rendering my efforts foolish and loaded with digital ego.  

A decent 55 demos survived and Cam helped sequence out two volumes, 13 tracks ea. for a 26 song release I shelved in the fall of 2012 due to finances. There will be no Kickstarter, crowdsourcing, etc., for a few reasons: One being I value my personal privacy more than begging publicly which I'd have to do to take your hard-earned money; and two, I have zero intents to perform live despite friends/musicians offering their support to be my backing band in public while you savages talk above each other and against each other.  No, thank you. And three, there are deeper intents I have to make sure this set sees the light of day with a book of illustrations, photos, and more I don't have enough time or money to deal with compiling right now because of other projects and responsibilities to survive. I know my limitations but for now, here's the rabbit hole version of volumes 1 - 4, Low Hanging Fruits and Vegetables.  Listen carefully, Silent Kit.
