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!

This song was written for those interested to hear a list of breakfast cereals.
Also, when you reverse "all brands kellogg's" you can hear "smell that in your pool" which makes an interesting title.
It’s like floating down a river
When you’re not quite in control
That river’s going to take you
Only where it wants to go
So you reach out with conviction
At debris along the way
That river’s going to take you
If you give up and say…
Pull another shift down at someday winner’s mine
Claw and scape to build up some other man’s design
I heard you sing the gospel, with hands up in the air
Already in Elysium, guess I’ll meet you there
Raise your drink and cigarette
As…
Bare with me place your cameras down
The lens inside your head is good enough tonight
No filter can project your mind
The colors seem to dull, an uninspired shade
Dare witness, don’t close your eyes
Take the leap and be surprised
A…
Ever lasting love from a brainwashed disciple
Basking in the rays from the blue light within
Born without a sense of the whole world outside you
Gyroscope to all as they’re caught in your spin
Never enough
Drinking their blood
Why does…
I hear the whispers again, so best I start
Mending my broken heart
I’ve gone to weaving again, needle and thread
Mending my aching head
Can’t you tell I just wanted to love you, but you were making other plans
So fare thee well and remember…

And here we go - Edith FINALLY gets it...
Actually, she's been getting it ever since I wrote it on the 29th May. I thought it would take a week or so, but it proved to be more of a fight than I was expecting.
On…
Thanks so much for the background notes. You are so right.... now I love it even more. And it sounds like you are an amazing friend as well... but no surprise there!!!! Hugs to you !!
JUNK
This week's prompt is "DIRTY LAUNDRY"
Key C
I got a call from Russell
He had to move his Junk
He'd filled his car
He'd filled his trunk
Big black bags of Something
I said, "What's with these?"
He said…
THE TIDE POOLS OF CALIFORNIA
When you're born in California
There are things you take for granted
The sunshine and the desert and
The forests, and the bears and the beaches
In the tide pools of California
In the memories of one little…

OK, let's delve once more into the magical shoebox of unused songs...
I've already recorded several that were written in 1994 (Sleeping with the Ghost, Elizabeth's Room, With Mum Again, If You Knew, A Hundred and…
Wow..... just wow. Between the shoebox and the broom closet there is a magic Songwriting genius machine. This one choked me up. So so sad and so well done.
This song scares me. This song stresses me out. This song confuses me. I could write a song about how messed up this song makes me feel.
Is it the best song I've ever written? Not even close. Why then do I insist to myself that it's the…
My wife Rita mentioned that she had not heard my dulcimer on any music recently, so I tuned it up and wrote First Morning Light. A little Low D Irish Whistle flavored it just a bit.

This song is so heart wrenching. Your friend singing these lyrics did an amazing job getting the feelings of anger and frustration in. I’m sending you and your dad and your family a lot of love. These are the toughest of times. Hugs to you!!!
Electric blues. Recorded 2007. I was learning how to use my DAW and trying to figure out how a one-man-band could get to sound like a bunch of old bluesers in a sweaty bar...

**Rabbit Boy - A A J Russe**
Well she don't mind crying…
A song about my wife. Recorded 2005.
I'd just taught myself how to play piano (badly).
I'd always wanted to be Freddie Mercury when I was younger... still got a bit of a ways to go.

**Now It's Done - A A J Russe**
I said it…
I left my home in paradise when warning signs begun
With a member of my aging family
I left behind the trees so tall they almost blocked the Sun
And a lake so big it looked just like the sea
The wind blows cold through paradise in winter…
Acoustic tale of revenge. Recorded 2010 on a Boss BR1600CD.

**The Knife - A A J Russe**
A dark and star-less night
Probably driving rain
That's what they think became of me
A foolish walk along the cliff when he was drunk…
