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…
Sorry I missed this one earlier in the month. It's a real beauty. Love the flowy feel to this. Feel like I'm sitting on the back of a car, listening while the ocean is off in the distance...
EVERYTHING
Everything you know or think you know
Everything you know is wrong
Life ain't no hootenanny
and you don't have to sing along
You can laugh and you can mumble
You can hold your breath
Take a little piece of my heart now honey…
It was cold just for one moment, memories flow imposed on each other as whimsical mosaics that didn't seem his own. Was it the dog called Monty, or ...
All around full of crystal icy droplets hanging on the trees, the sun is shining through the branches and there is no-one around. I'm such a jolly one still believe in love.

THE LESSON
I saw her in a music store in Fort Worth, Texas
I'd driven in to buy some strings
It was like getting hit by a little fist in my solar plexis
when she said, “Can you help me tune this thing?”
She had a smile. A thin disguise…

If you take a new lover
Turn the lights of when you go
You take the pain
I'm takin' the A train
You can have your nights…
He Leads Me Home by Tom Brandow
From the first time I fell, till the last time I’ll fall
Jesus is there to lead me home.
From the first breathe I took, till the last one I’ll take
Jesus is there to lead me home.
He Leads Me Home, He…

I decided to pick a few chords at random, just like that, wrote them down and then somehow tried to make a melody with it, no idea how, but it worked :-) I then added some lyrics et voilà...here's the result. A quick "just for fun" project. I…

I had fun singing this at the open mic this past week.
Originally written for a song writing challenge using the phrase *"Chicken Plucking Time In Petaluma"*
I could not ignore this hypnotic circling guitar riff on my mind keeping me awake endlessly spinning above the drop "D" tuning registers of a complicated web of entangled guitars that are driving atop the very solid bass horizon the tension is…
It’s a small town. Woodlake, California. East side of the San Joaquin Valley. 14 miles from where all those “Lindsey” olives you see on your grocery store shelves come from. The Woodlake Echo, says, “In the foothills of the Sequoias”.
