I decided to keep working on this one a bit on the "keep messing with it" program.... added some backing vocals and some piano.... kind of like where its heading after the one take wonder before... Any other suggestions are very welcome…
I wrote this song about 2 years ago and shared it here on Alonetone back then. I decided to do a studio recording of it recently. With the help of the team at F5 Soundhouse here in Minneapolis we've created this updated version. I hope you enjoy…
Well here's my contribution to the Pirate challenge from Robert Palomo. I think you'll agree it was time to call it a night on this one, but it was a lot of fun writing and recording it! Hope it gives you a chuckle or two.
Why Do Parrots…
Here's the second song I recently decided to do with a studio recording from one I wrote and posted here a while ago as a purely vocal version. It's one of my favorites.... I hope you'll enjoy it too
Singing In The Silence
Verse 1:

Here's my last studio effort of the summer, as we roll into fall!
I wrote this one earlier in the year sipping mojito's at the proverbial beach bar and then posted it here.... I thought I'd give it a little sprucing up with the help from my…
I decided this was a good song to post on Thanksgiving as a way to say thanks to all the folks on AloneTone for listening to my music over these past few years. This is another song in the studio work I've been doing this year. We're still tinkering…

A straight-ahead rock song with a quirky arrangement change on the second verse. Includes a trippy Pink Floyd-esque middle 8 and a Boyzone rousing key change at the end... You're welcome! 😆
A new song
The worst man possible for the job right now

Thanks for your comments on my latest... I agree with you... some things we’ve changed during this time would be best if we adopted them forever. I don’t think I can ever drive in bumper to bumper traffic ever again... virtual hugs to you and yours. Thanks for listening!!
I just had a birthday and the Rubics nude band was here.
I invited some of my favorite imaginary friends. See if you can pick them out

A strat and a slow minor blues are a go to for an overheard cell phone call.
The tone is pure strat wiggly bar juju. Thanks Robert Cray

A song I made up in retro style, just for a bit of fun ;- ) I used various guitars. It's partly sung in English and some of it in French. I try to do my own mixing, so don't expect too much LOL... Regardless, I hope you enjoy it ! Kind regards…

Well this is from a challenge,' write one with the word glass seems simple -straight away.
THE PROBLEM WAS THE VOCAL . TOO SHY TO SING!
MY friend on alonealonetone told me just sing it dummy
so I did that. Thank You you know who…
Wow!!!!! I love this one. How cool is this process. Its pretty awesome how different the songs turned out, but still that lovely track in the background. You write the best lyrics!!! Maybe we should do a mash-up of all the versions...
Ukulele and vocals performed by Jazz, 12.
She's starting to write her own stuff (proud!) but just to get her in the studio for the first time, here is a cover of a song by Vance Joy.
Its Groundhog Day again......
All day I’m chasing tomorrow
Cause I need Tomorrow to get away from today
But tomorrow becomes just like any another day
It just morphs into today
I don’t know where this life going to
It don’t stick to any…
