Well... I have a feeling that many of us may wish for a 2020 do-over. So here's a simple song to make that wish for us all!
Oh Mulligan
I wake up every morning
My jaw is clenched so tight
Even in my dreams it’s a battle
Who’s wrong and…
Well the song tells the story of the morning.... a lovely bleak, cold day. I decided on a simple a cappella arrangement to fit the feeling of the day.
Happy Winter Solstice everyone! To brighter days ahead!!!!
My Old Bones Know Better…
well this will be kind of random for my listeners... but what the "hey" as they say!

When my kids were babies, my Dad always used to hum a little tune when he was carrying them and trying to settle them down... it's the sweetest, lilting sound, I've hummed it all my life, always thinking of my Dad when it was in my head. I've…

Great song. I play guitar for my two smallest kiddos every night. I know that once kids get used a tradition, it's a great source of comfort from them.

I was down at the station
Catch the Greyhound to Go My Way
And I heard the loudspeaker
We’ll be leaving some time today
You just Say no thank you
When I ask you to be mine
I’ll be looking for that green light
When I ask you the next…
I don't know how you do it! Another classic!!! That lonesome twang on the guitar is so perfect. And wow! that harp is killer. Love the lyrics! Especially the chorus
Here is my contribution to the latest song writing challenge offered by the Minnesota Songwriters.
(Write a song using the topic: GLASS) Everyone is welcome to participate.

just WOW!!!! This is one of my favorites you've done. Such a beautiful picture you paint. Love the instrumentation, and killer Irish Whistle. This one sets the bar high!!!!
Volcano was one of the first tracks that the Proods uploaded to Alonetone, it was fun because it features the Prood gals who aren't always available to jam.
This is a beautiful emotional song telling the sad story of the singer. It describes the emotions of the singer in a precise way.

Chris Tune / Toms Lyrics
I heard you singing from the roof tops
saw you swinging in the trees
tripping on a cough drop
dealing your disease
I watched you watching from the washroom
heard you tumble down my stairs
passed out…
This one is still in progress, Jon the guitarist sent me a riff which i stuck together to get a kinda structure...so this is take 1....
I'm gonna kill a Mockingbird
That mockingbird mocks me with your name
I'm still not over you and it's causing…
My nephew Spencer or (SZC) as he goes by wrote this song entirely as we were talking about the sad news of Robin Williams passing in a conversation last year and how it felt. So he asked me to do the vocals and guitar.. He will be joining alonetone…
In case you are in the mood today to kick some ass with Mike and me.
Congas, Vintage Bass Cocktail Drum, Bongos, and (of course) Cowbell.

Hello Friend!
So good to hear your voice here. I hope you are getting the energy and love sent to you, your girls and your lady. You are missed here very much. All my best!
Just listening in my office to this awesome playlist! Sometimes I forget and think I am back in college, listening to the B52's, and then sometimes other great bands of the era. Thanks for being the playlist to my Monday!
I dream of peace and a million just like me... what an awesome lyric. This was a really bright and happy song, even though the world isn't quite there yet! Great song!!
A collab on lyrics from the other-side......
Before i stumble and fall
Falling back through memories
I don't expect a soft landing
I'm staring at the tumbleweeds
remembering it all
i'm remembering it all
before I stumble and fall
remembering…
