It aint like no ones done this before
But how can you tire of beautiful chords
In the fifties
In Tenessee
Where my love
was born
Two young men upped and
crossed the yard
both cold cos it was rainin hard.
One of them turned said…
Hi Collin,, like your take on this great song.. I was wondering doing someone elses tune works with alonetone... i have been doing some jazz piano versions of Doors music,,, eventually i plan to do a cd on this,, but i am not sure how this works,, since your doing it i guess it's cool, but did you have any thoughts on this yourself??
once again nicely done,, i think it's cool that i can listen and comment at the same time... cheers Richard
Hey, OSCKILO! You were Johnny on th espot on This Strange Parade! I hadn't even finished saying how unfinished it was. Thanks for the comments, on it and all the others. Now, as to this song. Just what I needed to help me get through this world when all I want to do is play. It's beautiful. Thanks
I wanted to thank you for all the kind comments about my music.
I really like this tune. Great guitar work and that tone most of us can only hope for....just the amount of grime and dirt on it to make it sound wonderful :) Really nice work.
This recording has been through hell, pretty much like I was when I wrote this: It was recorded written and played by me, on a fostex four track. At the time even true love had let me down, and decided its dreams "for" me were more important than…
Pretty impressive track considering it was recorded on a four track. It brought back memories from the late 60's and early 70's when my bandmates and I recorded on a reel to reel. Sometimes in the midst of these digital advances, I miss those days.
This was a piece I made with Reichatron back in January and, at the time, didn't upload.
I had the odd experience of momentary unfamiliarity, enjoyment, and a sense of "Did I make this?"
Listening to it again I enjoy the way it drifts in…
So question for you.. how did you record the piano for this album?
And I realized later that you hadn't specifically asked what I was using on one of my piano songs.. so to answer your earlier question: It was Reason+Record for that song, with "built-in" sounds as well some refills (notably the Reason Pianos that I mentioned).
Lovely!
To answer your question... currently I'm using the Reason pianos refill. I've also used NI's Akoustik, Ableton Live Suite's grand piano, and an Alesis QS7 in reverse chronological order. :)
A little something I recorded on a Zoom H4n, acoustic was recorded from built in condensors, strat was recorded plugged into bottom jack using only onboard effects, mixed in Reaper and mastered in Soundforge.
just goes to show: it ain't the equipment, it's the artist. you came through in this, probably could come through with an old cigar box with a stick through it, and four strings. You made this dance.

I've always liked the original, and it's nice to hear it from someone else! What a sweet song.

Dig this one! The polyrhythms (if that's the term) really give me the sense of rain falling, too.
