Just letting out my frustration at 'people' in general again.. nice to be able to vent it in a more pleasant way (for those interested in how I used to do it, please see http://alonetone.com/boynamedsu) :)

Haunting!
And liking the confession. :-) But as you know, it's a personal challenge. Almost half of my cd was recorded by (a) other people and (b) in 2009, so...you know.
This provides a theory which ties together two of my key traits a) always tired b) terminally disappointed by peoples lack of courtesy - there's a link people!
Did you ever feel so down
That you didnt know up
Didnt recognise highs

Wow, what a tribute. Kinda Neil Young vibe. (I always fancied that scrubbing by the fire thing, but was several decades too late.)
"Very well put together," says Husband. And he doesn't mean me.
Second of two songs on the album about trying to be a better person. The first was about people not trying, this is about struggling (and kinda failing) to be a better person than you have been. Slide parts courtesy of Gary...

Have no idea where this one came from. I was strumming away and the words just came out. Seems to be about some kind of wrongdoing in the past. May have been possessed. Thanks again to Gary for helping out on lead..

This one is about how falling in love kind of involves giving up any say in whether or not your heart gets trampled. It's about that fear. Gary doing a sterling job as usual on lead guitar..
She's amazing
Beauty holds no bounds
and her voice…

dont think I'll make RPM this year chum! Baby due in April so expecting to be rubbing fat ankles or finding other ways to demonstrate my servitude around that time! If she can spare me though.. I'll wack something together for sure!!
I had missed this one when it was first put up by Chris Vaisvil and Norm (Still waiting) i heard it today for the first time and it struck a chord so i asked Chris if i could add some words and being the generous man he is, he said yes. So i set…
With his lottery money Reg has invested in becoming a funk star. The other reg came up with the tune and Reg jumped all over the thing......come and get funky with thetwoReg
Ugh!!!! Good Gawd!!! Funky as james brown's socks. Reminds me of the vocal off something by Zappa with Beefheart on it. Cant think what it is. Brilliant though. :)
Thanks to Geas for the great music....this one has the vocal of both Regs high and low....hope you enjoy.......

You've got something genuine going on with your music.
So soulful. Full of soul. So.

I'm really loving your lone singer-songwriter arrangements this year, Alex. Really shows off the quality of your song-writing and your GREAT voice.

You guys made some fine magic here.

I really enjoyed listening to your RPM songs. Thanks fellas. Super Job!!!
Golly, now I'm a damn groupie! Great effort for RPM Alex. I am impressed!!
This is a hit Alex. Nice changes. Rock and Roll!!!
This reminds me of...........me! I guess that's a good thing right?
This is a nice, foot tapping mover. I like the piano work and the driving rhythm.
Love the piano in this one.
Great stuff man!
strawberry? hehe Never heard that one. You guys do make a good duo...
Good grief, did you get this vocal from the bottom of your boots? What a range, boy! Love the music also - kind of haunted slide guitar fairground.
