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!

Original song by my friend and music partner Randy Arneson.
Recorded in Garageband using a pickup plus condenser mic on a vintage Gibson 12 string (2 channels of guitar). I have a couple different versions of this one recorded...
Another silly little tune, this time about the world's favourite stout! (Edit: uploaded a new version. Fixed a few mistakes.)

The one that turned around and kicked you in the teeth
He thought…
Oh you gentlemen are just the best!!!!!!!!!!!! This is awesome --- so fun ---- I picture you all playing this in a dark noisy bar... and everyone digging it!!!

I tried to record it back in 2013 when I wrote it…
