Here's a traditional American tune I first heard down in the Ozarks when I was maybe 5 years old. Just clawhammer banjo and vocals. The first verse is one I remember. I made up the rest. I was gonna go from coast to coast but I ran out of time…

I'd been following the Euro horsemeat scandal since it broke in the UK some time ago. But the songwriter in me didn't react until Ikea found pony in their Swedish meatballs the other day.
Alonetoners - you're hearing it first!

I had this on Alonetone before but accidentally deleted it. This version has been remixed and mastered with different plugins.

The news today reminded me of this old traditional American song. In 5000 years we still haven't figured out how to keep the world from being run by the war mongers instead of the peacemakers. Certainly we have learned nothing since the time when…
A little banjo-centric parody of the old Irving Berlin song, written after more than a week in -20 C. temps in northwest Russia. Brrr. And Merry Christmas.
Nice one! Its cold here at Christmas at York in the UK. We escaped to Spain 4 years ago for Christmas. I'm still dreaming of a warm Christmas! Tony Flavell

Beautiful Robert and a very touching tribute to your Dad.
That Martin rings like a bell, and is a good compliment to the banjo.
Thanks for the nice surprise this morning.

I laughing out loud.
I wish I could fave this more than once. If this song had antlers, I would suggest you mount it on the wall. It's a REAL trophy!
Please excuse me while I "PRESS PLAY" again.

I recently retired and for the past 4 months I've been telling people "All that's left are the stories". There will be no more of the glamor and prestige.

While wiring up a new FX processor in my studio I was messing around with this classic traditional sea shanty. Probably because at this time last week I was playing at the Harwich (UK) International Sea Shanty Festival. Anyway, while messing around…
This song is the result of exchanging "One Line Zingers" with my friend Tom last Saturday while playing a little music.
He challenged me to write a song about him and he would do the same at my expense.
The funiest song wins.

It's been raining all day so I've been playing with my recorder and a new Irish Whistle that arrived from Scotland yesterday.

Here is the latest Coffee Table Recording. We gave ourselves 2 1/2 hours to pick a topic, write the song, and record it. It was GREAT FUN!
I left the pre bantar in just so you could get a feel of the "mood of the room".

I'm having a déjá vu moment here. Is it possible I've heard a different version of a tune sometime? Or am I just suffering from campaign 2016 mind rot?
Comments on Robert Palomo's stuff
I am a fan of the man from Russia and his Claw Banjo

Good humor!... and I like the little "where's the beef" at the end.
I had to saddle up for another listen this morning. Well done!
It'll make right frisky ,y-all be cantering around and whinnying like a politician.
Ha,ha, Robert. I knew that burger was a bit more tasty than usual. Faved

Ahhh crap - now my beer is all salty!!
Ha! Another one discovers that you can use banjo AND squeezebox and get away with it!!
Bloody birds! They do it every time.
Big clean transparent sound. Wish I knew how you do it. (Good blues tune too!)
Congrats on being able to retire. I probably never will. You got much more than stories left, sir. You got songs!
Nice use of 12-string acoustic.
Those acoustic guitars sound super.
@valsvil - Just me. No, I lied. There was also a bottle of rum involved.
Really nice production! You've obviously been to that joint a few times. Now what about a tune "Minnesota Mosquitos"?
Who the heck are you? Never saw the man before in my life, officer!
Uhm, right. That explains why James Taylor was such a flop. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUFwk1Ibwkc
I love it that you're doing mandolin. I want to do more with it myself but it is PAINFUL!! (Not to mention tuned in blasted 5THS!!
Love it. I get a total sense of how great that hiking is without having to throw my back out of joint schlepping a heavy pack, soaking my aching feet, or providing culinary delights for the Minnesota State Bird!
Another CLASSIC!!!!!
That's a fine soundin' mule you got there.
Been there. Nicely done. Had to replay this one.
Purty!
Dang... I just went thru a 3 hour session yesterday with a new trio and all we drank was tea. The 2 other guys ARE Brits... but still. Wine next time!

Reminds me of the night I was drunk and adrift in a longboat.
