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…
Collaboration between Carl Unbehaun and Myself.
Introducing Carl Unbehaun, the host of Minnesota Homebrew Radio Show. Pioneer Radio 90.1 Thief River Falls MN
I had the words, and Carl had the melody plus the ability to deliver the song…
This song is the result of exchanging "One Line Zingers" with my friend Tom last Saturday while playing a little music.
He challenged me to write a song about him and he would do the same at my expense.
The funiest song wins.

The ability to find your way
Like a compass in the night
And the coming of another day
It’s like when the stars align
You’ve been given just a glimpse of truth
And you think that you might find
The Optimism held in…
What a pretty melody to bring the lyrics to life. Like we are walking down the path in the song. Lovely mandolin. Is that you on all the parts? Pretty cool
All of a sudden, Mercy. Just like that.

This song was recorded with another verse, it ties the song together nicely but who the heck wants to listen to a 5 minute song about depressing stuff? We're really looking forward to feedback from those of you who've like…
I wrote this song about Dementia, my father does not know who I am even though he lives with my wife and I...he is 91 and very happy and never gets upset, but I can see he gets scared sometimes. he has to be watched all the time..he has wandered…

LANCASTER STREET
Midnight in Cowtown. 90 degrees
Too hot for a blanket. Too hot for a sheet
The trash on the sidewalk is trying to sleep
Breathing the bus fumes on Lancaster Street
Sunshine brings tacos. Sunshine brings beans.
Sunshine…
Old Age is a bitch.....
As this game of truth, slowly fills up with lies
As the happy ever after gets more and more disguised
The inner truth will pull the mind closed tight
As we introduced ourselves to the end of the night
Somedays…
Pretty mandolin. This is another one of my favorites of yours. I bet there are a few in that group might even tell Eric Clapton that his chords need to be simpler...this is lovely
Merry Christmas all!. This is a collab I did with Wrinkled shirt a while back. was originally released under Wreathwlaker.
i played 4 different guitars over WS's frosty tune, each with their own personality.
This reappeared in my email as a new release. What a fun treat to hear it again today. Happy Thanksgiving to the dear Proods!!! Always thankful to have your music in my life.
LAYING LOW THIS CHRISTMAS
Times are still tough this December
And money, it don't grow on trees
I've watched 'em all fall since September
If I could, I'd be selling the leaves
We've been making ends meet on a shoestring
Trying to find…
Wow! This song just really touched me deeply. What a beautiful song... so raw but so lovely and warm too.
All my best to you this holiday time. I hope the best for you and wish that the hope you express here is infectious to more than just me.
OH YEAH
SOON AS YOUR BORN YOUR MADE TO FEEL SMALL
THEY TAKE YOUR TIME INSTEAD OF GIVE YOU IT ALL
THE FRUSTRATION THE PAIN YOU FEEL
NO ONE SEES IT SO IT CAN’T BE REAL
THEY CONTROL YOU AT HOME AND AT SCHOOL
THEY SEND YOU CRAZY WITH SO…
