One day my husband was describing someone as a floosie galore. First I cracked up; then I wrote this song. Do you think I have to share royalties with him? :) I recorded all the vocal parts on this several years ago at Boyd Recording Studio…

I recorded the vocals on this about 14 years ago. An amazing pianist friend of mine from Europe, G.Longabardi, played the piano. Jonathan Sacks from California flew to Texas to co-write the music. If you're out there somewhere Jonathan, contact…
I'm singing lead on this. It was recorded to 24 track, 2 inch tape, I'm thinking. I have those somewhere, but they've turned gooey. Sadly, it seems to go into the red during the chorus, but I can't fix that now. I have more stories about the…

Little country ditty with a "hook" :) recorded a few years ago at Boyd's in Wylie. I am singing lead and harmonies. That keyboard player is my talented cousin, Robert Nichols, who turned me onto this site. You can search for him here on Alonetone…
My talented cousin, Robert Nichols, wrote this melody and played it for me. It spoke to me, so I asked if I could put lyrics to it. He was kind to say "yes". His piano; my vocal. This is the outcome. Seems like it should be in a movie to me…

"Some years ago, the good folks at The Acid Exchange took up the challenge to make a different kind of collaboration...an experiment in the unity of music. Each of the participants submitted one or more renditions of verses of this familiar song…
I really enjoyed this journey through samples of possibly the most loved song ever. I have a song on alonetone called "Let's Sing Amazing Grace" about my grandmother teaching her kids the song during hard times. I could sure have used some of your creative ideas during its production.
I just started learning the piano towards the end of 2012 and am loving it. Composition has taken a back seat for now but thought I'd share my first original piano composition (and live recording) with you all.
While I was converting the file…
So here is a piece which I first wrote and recorded around 20 years ago in the early 90's. For a long time it had no title, just known as "bounces along keys". Lately I've been toying with the idea of rerecording it. Then a couple of weeks…
Quick recording of a new set of pipes I'm working on. Long winded explanation- prior to the late 19nth century most Irish pipes featured very small bores and finger holes and were pitched well below modern concert pitch. I've always loved them…
I am usually in church on Sunday morning, but I am feeling under the weather today, so I hanging at home. Listening to these beautiful sounds, well, I feel like I just went to church. Thanks for the soul cleansing.
Lyrics
The Good Lifeless has Become Boundless
such that it is written,
went where and windly
with pentacles of pie
like know our way
down the screem
when we find what it
is that can been and be we of their
2 tracks of hobnox…
Loved this. Thanks for the trip. Also thanks for the comment on Call Me Crazy. I've had alot of computer issues the last few weeks and haven't been able to be part of this wonderful music community. Glad to have a moment to enjoy it. You're quite the composer, sir. Would love to collaborate on something sometime, if that would interest you. I don't just do country, by the way.
Some ol' bluesy fellow on his run-down, wood porch gets a visit from his city-slicker grandson. They spontaneously collaborate, are surprised by it, and then turn and go back to their own universes. I like it. Made me laugh.
Really enjoyed this...although, a few times during my listen, I had this strong impulse to just walk away from it all:D Hey. Did you ever live in L.A.? I knew a David Berry there in about 1980 that I worked on some music with that I lost track of.
David Niven decided to ask her one rainy afternoon: "Why did you give up the movies?"
She considered her answer so carefully that he wondered if she had decided to ignore his personal question.
At long last, almost as if to herself, she…
Hybrid analog/digital rock and roll. I'm trying out some new guitar FX and amp sims in Pro Tools.
They are not so bad all distorted and fuuzzzzed
up.
I tried to sing it, but hey, you know, I give it hell though right?
It's a Goddess of War…
Many thanks to Kirk Lynch, a real gentleman and a pleasure to jam with.
His tracks are the heart of this tune.
Lyrics:
I have a a pain
deep in my Chest
I can’t Breathe
as I Light my cigarette
Oh my head, Woe is me
Oh my head, Woe is me
But…
Strangely sinister and, like a wreck on the highway, I couldn't take my eyes( or in this case, ears) off of it. Loved the set up with the coughing and gravel voice.

I enjoyed the good harmonies and commercial sound. Well done. Makes me wanna be more. :)
Thank you. So refreshing and tender.
I found myself wishing for some hot chocolate by a roaring fire after a day of gift shopping. Thanks for the clear, sweet vocal.
Some catching ride.

you were obviously feeling prolific :)when you wrote this. I like the sound and vibration of the it all.
I enjoyed this.
I like the way you sing beautifully without oversinging. Kinda "Roy Orbison-ish" & I mean that in the absolute best way.
Real or imagined war for you? I'm glad you provided lyrics and that I read them before listening, because it brought the picture together. Quite good.

Love the voice.
Captivating and soothing.
Very well done...such clarity of all the instruments without losing unity. I love your cover art. Do you do it yourself?
Very peaceful and well titled and visual.
