Just a little ditties I recorded to try and cheer up a colleague who is feeling down. Job loss and holidays are not a good combination. Music can help heal.

Perfect stranger is the working title for this song. Sonicly based on a new blues pattern.

An hour of jamming yield just 45 seconds of “something.” A riff to hang some clothes on. We;ll try it again, bright and early but this is new type of progression fro me - full of melodic potential.
Some utter with vox, others utter with guitar.

This may be a song demo or may actually be finished. More about the vibe than technical perfection. Sometimes it is better leave the canvas while the paint is still wet.
You tell me - is it ready?
Two-seventeen or (02:17) is the title because that how long Garage Band says this guitar and drums instrumental is.

An inpromptu song for Robb’s best friend - Bob Patuto. Bob is a delivery driver in Tulsa Oklahoma, a drummer who never has enough drums and is the best person you’d ever want to know.

Music by Robb Montgomery
A road song for people on the move.
Yes, at last - I am back in a writing mode and am beginning to put together musical ideas for some new songs. Not sure yet if there will be an album of only children’s songs - some of the material I have been developing is more blues and electric guitar-oriented.
But there are also more lullabies in the pipeline including recordings of some favorites like Hushabye Mountain and Blackbird - songs that my daughters request at bed time almost every night.
So - it will be fun to track my take on those standards - we do them a little differently around the Montgomery house and you may enjoy hearing them, too.
So - like most projects - you enter the studio studio thinking you are going to do one thing and leave sometimes with a completely new and different thing. That’s the fun for me - I love that process.
Wish me luck and hope to be sharing new songs with you in the spring of 2008.

1. Why did you record this album?
I wrote the songs for my children, Kellis and McKayla Skye. My friends and family heard these songs and would ask for copies to play for their kids and I would make them homemade tapes. Recording the tunes in a studio allows me to share this music with many more people.
2. When did you start playing guitar?
I started playing bass guitar when I was a teenager. Bass is a lot of fun because you only have four strings and you play it with your fingers. I taught myself to play guitar about seven years ago after my wife, Mary, bought me an acoustic for my birthday.
3. What do you enjoy most about being a songwriter?
Hearing my two-year-old in the other room singing my songs to her sister.
4. Have you written any other songs?
Oh, gosh yes. I have at least another dozen kids songs I’ve started working on and I’ve got a bunch of songs that older kids and grownups might like. I’ve also been a bass player on a collection of blues recordings called “Tupelo Sessions.” I’m excited about these future CDs.
5. Last Question. How many guitars do you have and do you have a favorite?
Hey!, that’s two questions… OK, I have several types of guitars and you can hear all of them on this album. Let’s see, I play electric bass, electric guitar, nylon-string classical and steel-string acoustic guitars. Each instrument has its own special sound and I’ve written songs with all of them. Whichever one I pick up is always my new “favorite.”
