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?
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!

A simple song in Open D.
It's a cold, and frosty night,
Stars are shining,
Shining bright.
A wintry breeze, through the trees,
Stoke the fire,
Beat the freeze,
It's a winter's tale.
Mull the wine, and cook the fare,
The larder…

as they say... "Damn you're good!!!" another masterpiece. I love the lyrics and that haunting picking on the lead parts... and the Greg harmonies!!! Fabulous indeed

Heres a story of a cold cold house
They walk by
Trying as they do to catch a glimpse, of life inside the cold, cold house
But the dark of the windows only reflect themselves
Their enquiry is rejected
The house keeps its secrets to it’s self…
I can finally see through my eyes now
Everything is clear
Suddenly everything is back into focus
I have no fear
I can see you
you can see me
We can be one
I can feel you
you can touch me
We can be one

A song about a few characters I remember growing up in Portsmouth, UK. Sadly they all had Mental health problems, but 50 plus years ago no one really cared.
I found this Tangelwood guitar locally in a repair barn
its a parlor with 12 frets to the body
the top wood is cedar, this guitar can sing
I am sharing its beauty with you for free
Another one from the archives! Collab with glu from 2009 - I took his original guitar track and added vocals, then he remixed and made about four more versions, but this is my fave.
