		<title>RIP Carla&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[http://carlamuses.blogspot.com/
It&#8217;s not often that someone online has both touched me and inspired me, but that happened with Carla Zilbersmith.  I started reading her blog a little while after she was diagnosed with ALS, and she kept me alternately in stitches and in tears.  People who have had the opportunity to have met her were very [...]]]></description>

		<title>End of May&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Summer is starting&#8230; where I live now, in lovely northern California, it matters not so much, but when I was growing up in Michigan it meant EVERYTHING.  I hope you are planning some great things for the summer.
First, I&#8217;ll update you on the RPM Challenge CD from this year.  It&#8217;s another warrenpeece CD.  I&#8217;m thinking [...]]]></description>

		<title>update&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, we completed the RPM Challenge 2010&#8230; 10 songs, and some pretty good stuff.  I&#8217;m working on doing some clean up and finishing work to the songs, then I&#8217;ll master them and post them.  I still need to get the artwork done as well, but that should happen in the near future. No CD name [...]]]></description>

		<title>Looking forward to RPM&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yep, it&#8217;s that time of year again&#8230; RPM Challenge time.
It looks like this year it will be a combination of John Rose and another musical friend, Charles Culbreth.  Charles is an old friend and musical master of melody, so the hope is he will provide John and I with enough melodies to get us started [...]]]></description>

		<title>A couple of songs from the archives&#8230;</title>

Second, one from the last RPM Challenge, titled Black Tuesday from the band &#8220;Warrenpeece&#8221; with John Rose:

		<title>end of summer&#8230;.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The end of summer has always been bittersweet for me.  On my latest CD, Jennifer Wilde helped flesh out my idea by writing great lyrics to our song &#8220;Summer&#8217;s End.&#8221;

I wrote the chord progression and initial melody (which Jennifer greatly improved on) while on a camping trip at the end of summer, watching my daughter [...]]]></description>

		<title>coffee in Redwood City</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you haven&#8217;t tried this place yet, I highly recommend you try &#8220;The Grind&#8221; coffee in Redwood City, next to Movie Groove on El Camino (and owned by the same people) at Jefferson.
What is different:  They don&#8217;t serve espresso drinks, so if you want that double half decaf soy caramel latte, they can&#8217;t help you.

		<title>general update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, unfortunately I&#8217;ve been not-so-good at updating this page&#8230;.
RPM died an agonizing death this year, I&#8217;m afraid.  I ended up needing to fly back to Michigan, where I grew up, because of some family health issues.  It was a good trip, but it meant RPM was impossible.  That&#8217;s OK, priorities are priorities.
The music John and [...]]]></description>
