Vegas Skyline – a new Mp3 From “River of Light”

Vegas Skyline is the third song on my “CD River of Light” . I like this song because it moves along quite nicely. When recording and mixing; I really wanted to showcase the 12 string guitar – played with a traditional capo on the 2 second fret and a cut capo covering the A, D, and G strings on the lower portion of the guitar at the 6th fret. This open setup enabled me to play the lead portions by strumming several strings at a time.

I wrote this song actually before I visited Vegas in 2007 and it was weird when i saw a street musician in Old Town Vegas like I had written about in my song. I think the song is about many things-people in relationships or life lying to themselves saying things are fine when they are not- and discovering a person in a new relationship and dealing with their feelings and uncertainties. I think a bit of the song discusses the sadness of my first marriage- hoping somehow that it all would end..somehow….. Enjoy

The Difference

Download The Difference by Ricky D. Kemery

This song was written for Janice Furtner- former music director at WBNI  – I played it for her on our last radio show together on  June 10, 2010.

The song begins with an account of how a friend helped me out in New Mexico circa 1980, then about my wife Lyn, and then Janice. I think very special people need to be told how special they really are- and how their positive attitude makes a difference in everyone’s lives.

Here is a track from my CD “River of Light”

Whiskey Blues is a song I wrote circa 1980 when I was staying at the small mining town of Madrid, New Mexico. I wrote the song sitting on an old junk Chevy looking down over the town at sunset. Enjoy!

Stay tuned for an upcoming podcast featuring all the songs on the CD!

Hi Everyone!

It is so gratifying to finally accomplish a goal- which was to finally- after all these years- produce a CD of my music. River of Light contains songs that represent the ups and downs of life- and I am glad to share that with you all.
