The man with the guitar slung over his shoulder licked his parched lips and surveyed the scene..
Desert dryness.
Thorny figures with outstretched limbs; Waiting.
The heat-haze that quenches not.
A Rattle snake.
Vertical fingers of orange stone.
Dust.
A carcass.
The man removed his hat and wiped the back of a dirty hand across his glistening brow.
Hat replaced and with squinting eyes the man walked on...

New stuff has been slow in coming for me lately, but I found this lurking on my hard drive from a while back. Frankly don't remember how I did it except that it was all live to 2 tracks and at one point one of my synth patches glitched out on…
Straight ahead stone city electric blues for an old friend who used to spend hours spinning BB King and Mike Bloomfield records for me. Recorded back sometime at the end of 2006 on old analog equipment
This song always puts you in a weird mood...forcibly sways your emotional state. There’s some kind of weird juju laced in that song that screws with your emotions no matter how you're feeling.
This song uses a lot of layers for bass along with…
A Prog Rock instrumental with guitar and keyboard melodies and solos. Three parts to this song. Depicting peace and joy on The Path of Light. A cross between Yes and jam band music. Randal Pflum, all instruments except drums.
Great great stuff. And glad to find your album on eMusic. I would compare this music to more obscure prog groups, like Happy the Man, Minimum Vital, etc.
Something completely different- Uilleann pipes(Irish bagpipes) and synth. I wrote this tune over 20 years ago in the style of traditional Irish slow airs. It was recorded way back in 1991 for an album that's been out of print for over 15 years…
Saw an add on TV for something called "Drag Me To Hell". Dunno what it is with horror films, but apparently scary music is on my mind. Thanks for helping exorcise it.
The guitar part, btw, is e-bow plus slide so any tonality is an accident.
A moody solo acoustic thing that I came up with playing in a long forgotten tuning. Just got a new Zoom H4N, so this was recorded in my shop sitting at my reedmaking bench may 12 2009
An experiment that became a meditation.
Two tracks. One guitar, one looper, one e-bow, two tracks and a touch of Live's Overdrive effect on the second e-bow track.
The starting premise was could I get the sound of many guitars by continually…
Took sandbags' [Rytme Shifter 1](http://alonetone.com/sandbags/tracks/rytme-shifter-1) and added my special brand of guitar incompetence.
I bought myself an E-Bow this week and this track was just perfect for playing around. After a day of wankery…
It aint like no ones done this before
But how can you tire of beautiful chords
In the fifties
In Tenessee
Where my love
was born
Two young men upped and
crossed the yard
both cold cos it was rainin hard.
One of them turned said…

Love it. D.
I liked the way you allowed this tune to build. Looking forward to hearing more from you.
Crazy cool!

Nice! Love the stereo spread on this one. Great headphone mix

sweet groove!

Groovy
Dynamic bass and this piece reminds me of Bill Frisell
There is always a hint of Grateful Dead in your playing
I likey this little ditty...
Interesting stuff there!
Very groovy. I totally dig it.
Very intriguing sounds...unsettling moments but with shards of light througout. I love the feel of the intro - sounds like a distressed cello. COOL.

Nice long chill track! Keep on!
This is beauty. Glad to see you back in action, Doug. Can't wait to hear the rest of your 24 when it's done.
Good find Kirk. How about some pipes laid over the top?
This is very nice.
Soulful pickin'!
Don't know how I missed this one until now. You speak my language well.
This is just pure genius. Beauty.

Been getting into your RPM album and enjoying it very much. Love your cassette logo too.
I've always liked the sound of those pipes and this is a great showcase for your playing. I got visions of windswept moors and lonely seashores.
If you want, check out the video. Go to "about" and "view more".

ebow+slide=scary Love it.
This is lovely fingerstyle. These pieces of yours may push me back to playing more acoustic.
This one's right up my alley. I haven't listened to all your stuff, but this is the best yet. Goood!
To kirklynch: yes, tap rhythm and bass looped on the DL4 then bounced to Rc20 to add more instruments and longer loops. thanks
Beauty in subtlety. Good job. I'm going ebow real soon.
Thought I was listening to Rick Danko and The Band. Good work.
