Bikerider and the Chinook Rose consists of One person at the moment. ME !! Richard Arthurs. I have been writing and playing music for many decades. As a result I have a large catalogue of songs. It's over 1100 now. That's OVER one THOUSAND !!! Sounds like a lot, but, writing an average of 30 to 40 songs a year, over time will accumulate.
I've done recordings over the years. None of them I care to share anymore. I'm presently recording and re-recording all my songs using a computer, Pro Tools, lots of plugins and many instruments. I'll be recording two versions of each song. An acoustic - vocal version and a full band version. This is going to take me years to complete. I have no illusions about that.
As with all my previous recordings, I'll be playing all the instruments, doing the recording, engineering, producing. I have asked others to come join the fun, but no takers... Not yet anyways.
What style is my music... It's a mash of everything I've listened to over the years: Am radio, FM radio, Internet Radio, Rock, with blendings of Blues, Folk, with tints of Ska, Reggae, with touches of Jazz and probably some Country too. I don't limit myself with how a song is structured or played. Every song is individual: Even the multipart ones. I've received comments that range from Pink Floyd to Dylan and the Beatles. People see bits of what they enjoy in my music.
I did have two medleys comprised of 18 songs here from my 2007 RPM participation. I'm not participating this year. Other things fill my calendar this year. As I have new songs I'll be posting them.
Today (Feb 18, 08) I have one new song posted. It is a preliminary - pre mastered mix. It's still a bit rough on the edges. It's the first of a collection of songs with a Celebrate Theme. It is also the first part of a multi part song. More songs will be coming.... eventually.
Thanks for stopping by

"We all admire the spangled acrobat with classical grace meticulously walking his tight rope in the talcum light; but how much rarer art there is in the sagging rope expert wearing scarecrow clothes and impersonating a grotesque drunk! I should know." Thank you for your friendship! Musical greetings from Munich/Germany!

Thanks for the message. I tried to listen to the That Love medley, but the site was being a bit cranky and wouldn't play it. I listened to part of the Running Away medley, then got called into a meeting. I'll listen to more as time allows. Thanks again. ER
