This was a song I wrote last year, and haven't recorded until last night. We had a jam session at my place, so you'll hear some folks you know on this live recording.. Feels like a old time sing-a-long as I listened again this morning.

Happy Sunday Alonetoner's.
I wrote this song yesterday as I had some recent events to ponder.... I hope you like it. Trying for a bit of a bluesy feel. If you'd like to download it and add some background blues bass or guitar, or harmonies…
I wrote this song earlier this week, and reached out to the wonderful Greg Connor and SL Krell here to help me with the lead, rhythm and bass guitars to give it a nice country love song feel. They killed it!!!!!! Thanks to them both for making…

This is my first upload. I mostly have a vocal here. It's a song that I'd love to get some collaboration on from the guitarists in the community. Let me know what you think?

This is my first collaboration with the talented SLKrell! He had a reggae song called "Rancho Raggae" posted a couple of weeks ago in need of a lyric, so I asked If I could write some for it, and poof whala!! Here it is! Thanks Slkrell for the…
This may be one of my favorite turns of yours. Love the bluesy cool feel. And the lyrics are so good!!! The guitar work is wonderful. I love that slide thingy. An instant fav
C.S. Lewis once wrote about the concept of "out of simple evil comes complex good." These are trying times, an understatement if there ever was one. As you read this, you have uncertainties and fears for what our current situation means for right…
Gary your words of introduction touched my heart, and then the wonderful song... WOW! Thanks so much for this. It totally made my day... Awesome things: the power of words and the power of music
I live in a house with a river running at the bottom of the garden so i wrote a song about it.

When I get down by the river and I watch it flow
I Wonder where the hell it finally goes
Snaking…
The drums in the chorus are in 4/4 time. Everything else is in 7/4 time. Polyrhythms, people! Welcome to the 20th century! (sorry... that's kind of a music school joke. Even I'm not sure I get it... just like most 20th century classical music…
(Remastered 22/10/2021)
I wasn't even sure the recording machine was still going to work after nearly five years... Certainly, bits of me don't work anymore... But, surprisingly, I got this done in 24 hours, start to finish... Strange old world…
it's getting late so theres no time for finness it might be here by the morning .....
DOING THE SOLITARY TANGO
Sitting on the 13th floor, looking over London
The clouds are filling up with dead mens tears

This is a recording from my i phone off my back deck at home in Mill Valley tonight. Everyone howls at 8 pm for 1 minute in solidarity for the healthcare providers during this pandemic with COVID 19. its been going on for over 2 weeks now…
You're producing some awesome music there Greg! Thank goodness that winter weather is gone indeed. Always love your harmonica. I bet Rita loves this one too!!!!
Have you ever felt like it was YOU who were the problem? If you haven't, then you're missing out on one of the purest forms of self loathing that humanity has to offer. This is dedicated to the fine soul who actually did find something lovable…
We're all in the same boat with nobody at the rudder and hoping the swell will take us through to the otherside. we've been given time to to think about life while the door is closed. When it opens again lets put all those wrongs to right because…
I hope Brian (one of us Proods) will forgive me for posting this before we could get together to work on it further. He first played it for me a few months ago and I've been obsessively tweaking it every chance I could get.
I like to imagine…
AAAHHHH!!!!! Love that distinctive Proods sound. I have a dream someday we all get together for the biggest jam. Wouldn't that be fun! Thanks for posting this!
Didn't want to write this song … I figured there were one-thousand songwriters (here in north Texas alone) that were stuck at home and writing goofy songs about the virus. But, it wouldn't leave me alone, so I recorded it to get it out of my head.
