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…

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 song was written after I had watched a documentary about Jonestown, which featured music from their choir. They were very talented and I couldn't help wondering if any of them had survived. I'd like to think that there were a couple of 'em…

This is so deeply melancholy. The arrangement is awesome. I haven't heard your mandolin and harps in awhile. They sound perfect. An instant classic and fav.
2008 - A 12 string guitar Acoustic Improv played in the Pelican tuning DEADAD. It has some rough spots but sometimes the best takes are the first ones. final edits made in Ableton 9 and audacity.
Well, soon the new EP will be complete, featuring Jessica (the REAL talent in the family), but as with earlier songs, I thought y'all might like to hear what it sounded like when it first entered the world.
Meet me at The Narrows, ya'll.
Just got my system up again after several hardware upgrade conflicts, and a move to California.
Been thinking about changing this songs ending for a while, finally getting around to it. Good to post here again!
Cheers,

An original song I made up. I used quite a few layers of guitar work, I'm sure you can hear my acoustic 12 string which I love to bits.... Une de mes compos perso. J'ai utilisé plusieurs guitares, je suis sûr que vous pouvez entendre ma guitare…

1st Verse:
I'm just passing through, doing what…
