You know Colleen, the musicians that have responded to your post are known for collaborating on some great tunes with good results. We send mp3s to each other in exact keys to make long distance tracks together.....Just a thought. Evets

It's good to have you here with us as a part of the AloneTone family. Randy did a beautiful job on the piano -- well executed tones1 He's got the touch. You have a sweet voice. I enjoy your delivery. Keep it gorgeous!

Thanks Gene for the kind words!!! Great to meet you here, and I wish you the best here during this challenging time. Music can sooth a weary body, that's sure.

I wish I still had the energy and strength to slap some bass on this for you, but I'm feeling so well these days, but I hear a great run in my head. Anyway, I dig the lyrics and love the vocals. I'm looking forward to hearing more from you so I've clicked to follow you. Keep it sweet!

Are we having fun . . . or what! I think Ron's Mandolin would sound perfect in here.
Sounds like the key of C to me, less a little drift from singing *A Cappela*.
Maybe somebody will step up and send you a guitar track. If not, we can record it next time we all get together.
Welcome to the wonderful world of Alonetone!

In Lockdown, I have really been inspired to return to my more classical roots, and have enjoyed playing around with the idea of epic style movie or cinematic themes/trailers. I have imaginatively named them Lockdown Orchestrations No. 1, No…
Well Reg is struggling can he find that belief in himself or not…….
Belief
Sat at the bar wishing again on a dream
Head floating into space
I got my eyes closed to the scene
Cause I know I sit here in disgrace
Another drink another whiskey…
I really wish I could sing.
This one was written for the 2014 50/90. I remember it clearly. I set up with the intention of working on something else but plugged in my guitar and played this without thinking about it. Well, I guess I was…
I was watching the breeze in the trees and it got me to thinking ........
Winter
I look into the trees and I see that the breeze is blowing and I’m beginning to freeze
Cause the wintertime is coming cause the leaves have started blowing…
The perfect lyrics to capture my feelings about the coming winter here in Minnesota too... the 6" of snow we got last week made it all the more real! great song!!!
JOHNNY BROKE AN AXLE 110220
I got revved up on blueberry donut holes
and cranked this one out...
Johnny broke an axle
Broke it like a pencil
Oh, no.
We need an ambulance at turn three.
Johnny broke an axle
Broke it like a pencil…
CATTAILS AND BUTTERFLIES capo @ 6 in C
C G repeat
There was a field around the corner
And a stream flowed cross the field
There were cat tails in the summer time
And monarch butterflies
And tadpoles sprouting wings
E…
A friend asked me,
"Don't you have any happy songs?"
So I wrote one!
IF IT MAKES YOU HAPPY capo @ 3

If it makes you happy I will tie your shoe

So I had this song, not quite finished, I sort of insisted Greg Connor sing it, he also wrote the last verse. Steve Krell added the solo break. I think they helped to bring the song alive. Oh yeah, I'm in the Chorus ...... hiding Somewhere. :) :)
Piano & Vocal Thanks for listening ….
The owl and the Pussy cat
If I was a pussy cat
I’d sail of to sea
I’d try and find that place where I really want to be
I’d find a little island out there in the sea
I’d sit on my rock and watch…

I found this one while I was digging through the shoe-box for the 1994 songs. Apparently I wrote it on 10th November 1995.
Foolishly, I thought it would only take a week or so to record... I was originally expecting…

Oh baby let me take you
To that screen-saver dawn
To Hallmark scenes
On a snowy winter’s morn
You can’t do this on your own
You can’t do this on your own
Oh baby let me take you.
Oh baby let me take you
Out to the windy cliff
Where…
Engine stalling
Redwood falling
Babies bawling
Sheriff come calling
Another child missing
Black snake hissing
Radio squawking
Searchers walking
Media stalking
Everybody talking
Mother in ruins
What’s black snake doing?

Hi Ron! Thanks for listening. I'd be honored to get your mandolin on it. !
Great first post colleen....I like it...I bet Greg can come up with some interesting chords...if he does I could try to add a mandolin part...

Wow!!!! Beautiful.... sweeping full of life.... You're amazingly talented.
Powerful and uplifting throughout... Love this!
Hugs from across the pond as I listen to this raw song... Thanks for putting it out there!!!
Singing sounds great!!!! The guitars are awesome too. Fingers might have bled a bit on that solo I'm guessing...
The perfect lyrics to capture my feelings about the coming winter here in Minnesota too... the 6" of snow we got last week made it all the more real! great song!!!
This one's a keeper!
I like that cool vibe you've got going here!!
Those must be some pretty crazy donut holes!!!! I wonder if the blueberry pancakes I just ate will have the same effect!?
Delightful!!!
Best music to start my morning ever!!!!! This totally makes me happy!!!! Thanks
This really came to life. Nice collaboration guys. I love the blending of your voices on the chorus.
Owl and pussycat. A perfect childhood memory. Love your vocals on this. It inspires me to go play my piano and do something good with it.
Back for another listen and now I just want to dance around the kitchen to this all day. I’d fav this again if it would let me!
Love that country zeppelin swing thing here... an instant fav! What a shoe box!!!
Love the melancholy feel of this one. Great vocals...
Cool vibe on this one. And thanks for the listen on one of mine. I sure appreciate it! Looking forward to hearing more of your music
Incredible lyrics and I really loved that keyboard sound... like a xylophone mixed in there. This should be in a movie soundtrack. Love it entirely!!!
Intense!!
Love the lush feel of this with the strings and piano and the sexy timber of your vocals. Awesome lyrics as well. An instant fav.
Look what that North wind blew in!!!! Love this... awesome lyrics!!
