Just enjoyed rolling through your 5 "Latest Music" tracks. You have a very nice sound. Remind me of a guy I used to play coffee house gigs with, Rick Walker. Nice work mate. :)
And thanks so much for all of the kind comments on my tracks. Really encouraging to hear fellow musicians say such positive things.

A few months back we had a "Beatlesfest" on songcrafters.org.
I contributed this and Yesterday.
This one's a bit of a departure for me. Not the song itself - it's been one of my favourites ever since I was tiny (I preferred Robin Gibb's…

Big applause Andrew, great lyrics, almost therapeutical.
The music is giving the right accent on the lyrics, totally fitting!
(And I am relieved you came over the shock and relaxed when you heard my music! :-) I had a big smile seeing your comment!

OH my, I was attracted by the title of the song, thinking to find something scary, but how I am mistaken, because this is a Beauty in all ways, although sad story, but even the lyrics have a wave in it, that is so beautiful, not to talk about the great musical arrangement and the way you sing it! Wonderful!!!

Hehe... I've spoken to my people... and we'd have been more scared if you'd trade-marked the title somehow... and they said to mention to your lawyer and this Dexter chap that Lorraine "Atomic Blonde" Broughton is a very dear friend of ours and she has a special understanding of the phrase "We're Done" ...hehehe

Wow! I just realised I heard and loved this on Tuesday... and then wrote a thing called "We're Done" on Saturday - I shall go and update my description now!!!
Well...This is song #10 for my 2022 RPM challenge- the final track for my "album". It's a bit like two songs that found each other somehow. That makes for a very long track! eek. Thank you to everyone who has been listening to my songs...it…
Song 9# for my RPM 2022. I don't know how it happened, but I ended up with a bit of an alternative quasi-delta blues here. I walk a lot of country roads at night so..... The harmonies were fun. Thanks to anyone who listens! Onward…
Loving this one. I'm staying on the straight and narrow of "little parlour guitar in standard tuning, write song, record song, on to next..." but I'm itching to play some other stuff and instruments... and THIS makes me gaze across the room at Les Pauls and Resonators and the shelf of slides, and... and...

Everybody's looking for a savior
To tell them how to live before they die
As if they can't control their own behavior
Or trust what they can see with their own eyes
Mindlessly believing what you tell 'em
When everything you tell 'em is a…
Oh crumbs. This is fabulous. Song, performance and production. I was planning on listening when working... but these tracks are DEMANDING attention. I'm gonna have to stop listening now - not getting any work done! I shall return later (possibly days not hours - I got songs to write too!)
Raised on vinyl and a needle that rides
To a paper circle at the end of both sides

Given it's Valentine's Day ...I thought I'd write a little love song. This is Song #8 for my 2022 RPM challenge. Practiced a bit of breathy indie vocals and harmonies.
Thanks to anyone who's listening. :).
You thrill me
you undo me…
My 7th song for the 2022 RPM challenge. This one is a bit more pensive and slow moving. I always love adding harmony. I was thinking of Bjork (who I love) when I wrote it. I included some flute so my sister can play along next time we jam…
The calluses from all this bass playing are coming along nicely! This is another RPM song (song 6) where I built the song from a little bass riff. The lyrics include some quotes and/or references - pick them out and win a prize (ha ha…
Gorgeous guitar sound. And what a song! And I love the arrangement, how the production builds... I've committed myself to a "no production while doing song demos, not even backing vocals" rule for February, just so I can get a challenge done... One of the unforeseen side-effects is I'm really HEARING and appreciating other people's arrangements and production choices... I always listen for that anyway, but now I'm hearing the ones that grab me with extra envy!!
Lookin over the calendar
Seems like you're getting old
Feel a little bit achy now
A remedy is sold
Goin to the healthy store
Buy what you need
Tryin all the products
To heal your achy knee
But you won’t feel brand new
You…
Nice one, hope you're having fun. I'm exhausted! (But feeling extremely empowered, and yes having fun).
I'm digging this one too. Love that wah guitar break. And again, the subject matter hits home for me... I could sing these words to someone very close to me!
Can you hear me?
Can you see my screen?
I'm explaining
Exactly what I mean
There's an error on the next slide, and I hope that you will bear with me

Mighty cool. I'm doing songs for FAWM (I don't think I could manage RPM) and working at home and... this song strikes home for me! Probably does others too. My colleagues are jealous of my meeting background - and it's real, not digital (my "studio" doubles ad my office, so there's a wall of guitars).
"I will send the deck out after" ....LOL "hey where's those slides you said you'd send out at the last meeting?"
Here is a little experimental instrumental piece I had almost forgotten about....interesting experiment, with the percussion elements consisting of, amongst other things, metal hangers, door latch, scissors, paper being shaken and finger snaps!!
Comments on Andrew Russe's stuff
Love this one. This is the second time I've listened to it. It's a great song!
Bloody great song , the vocals do it for me every time

This bare-bones version really showcases how great this melody is. Well done!

And a beautiful thing
This is a thing of beauty.....a thing of beauty I say
OH my, I was attracted by the title of the song, thinking to find something scary, but how I am mistaken, because this is a Beauty in all ways, although sad story, but even the lyrics have a wave in it, that is so beautiful, not to talk about the great musical arrangement and the way you sing it!

Wow, very good cover of this great song!
Very nice song, love the slide!
You made it to the top big boy.......top of the world......very deserved for this song..............when you make it to the top of Alonetone, thats high praise indeed.

Cool track. Love that guitar.

Oh yes. Love the pictures you're painting in my mind.
Wow! I just realised I heard and loved this on Tuesday... and then wrote a thing called "We're Done" on Saturday - I shall go and update my description now!!!
I see what you mean about the "two songs that found each other" ... but it SO works. Fabulous.

Oh that intro!!!
Wooo. Like this one a lot. Making me think of early Status Quo - not entirely sure why. Love the droney sound of the open E.
Oh crumbs. This is fabulous. Song, performance and production. I was planning on listening when working... but these tracks are DEMANDING attention. I'm gonna have to stop listening now - not getting any work done! I shall return later (possibly days not hours - I got songs to write too!)
Oh... gorgeous gorgeous sounds.
Love the imagery you use in this.
OH. MY. GOODNESS... I love this. I've probably favourited all the others... this needs TWO favourites.
Woah! Yeah. This grabs me big time. I'll listen to some others tomorrow - but right now I gotta get some sleep!
Oh yeah!! Love this one. Wasn't sure at first, but when the vocal started I was pulled straight in. LOVE the chorus.

Still, I wouldn't trade it for going back to the commute!!

That's a fine piece of noodling. Loved the opening piano. And the percussion elements work nicely.
I'm loving these short ones - kinda meaningful statements in short chunks... leaving me wanting so much more....
