Written for an upcoming Blues competition as one of several songs being considered for the contest. I sprung this on my friend Chris, without warning last night and pushed the record button.

OMG! Another total masterpiece. I love the chorus on this so much. Total earworm for the day. Good luck with the competition. You’ve got a real winner here.
Too many rainy days lately, so what is a boy to do? Write a song!

I read all the lyrics before I had a chance to listen. Excellent poetry indeed. I wanted to know where you were finding that peaceful road. Somewhere north I’m guessing. Great melody and lovely arrangement. Another instant fav!!!

Oh it caught me by surprise
I Looked into your pretty eyes
Nothing more than a simple kiss
And a moment like this
We don’t need no fancy cars
Diamond Rings that shine like stars
You never really asked for more
Than moments…
I wrote this song 5 years ago and have recorded a new version of it every year since (I think). This version features a Baritone 8 String guitar and Mandolin.
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall....
Humpty Dumpty's Warning Song (A preachy cautionary tale)
Pieces of the heavens lost
Shattered like ice on the ground
Desperate men struggled on
To put back all they had found
I sat upon a great stone…
I was so excited when SlKrell wrote to ask if I would do the vocals on this excellent song he wrote! I loved his lyrics and the rocking backing guitars. Hope you enjoy it too!
Nice song and GREAT contribution to the "Who Knew" Challenge. I enjoyed playing behind you on this.

Friends...an offering from the not-real album "Dr. Pepsi's Death Cult Glee Club". The song was inspired by t.v. commercials featuring actor William Devane, who has spent the last few years trying to convince Americans to buy gold.
The sentiments…
This was part of the 'who knew' song challenge, recorded live at Colleen Dillon's on 12-09-15, with Greg Connor on guitar. Love his part, didn't edit out anything, even left the comments on the beginning and end.

a.k.a. "The Ballad of Big Celine"
What ever happened to ballads - stories told in song? The internet and TV have reduced attention spans, and long songs a la Don McLean, Harry Chapin, and Gordon Lightfoot have fallen by the wayside. If you…
Wrote this song yesterday after another long week of crummy news in the world and had the good fortune of the Minnesota song writers in my living room tonight to help me bring it to life. Greg Connor - on the cigar beat box, Colin Walterson on…
Great Song! You have a lot going on here!
I love the lonely feel of this and how it evolves throughout the song.
Outstanding Lyrics: *"And I run a/c
with the windows down"* & *"Tripping on the wires at the edge of your farm"*
I like the bass line. Nice contribution to the *"Who Knew"* Challenge.

Greg Connor added his amazing harp to the song. It really adds depth to it. I love Greg's playing on the song. Thanks so much, Greg! This is why Alonetone is great.

I count my blessings…
I struggled to get this thing completed. I've been sat on it for weeks, finished, debating whether I was really prepared to let it go.
I loved the song when I wrote it, inspired by a wonderful week at the end of September. But the recording…
Recorded live at my friend Colleen's studio in the clouds with Scott on the mandolin, Greg on guitar, Collin on bass, Colleen on ukulele. Thanks for a fun challenge!
This is a rough cut, but I like it. Here are the lyrics:
TOMORROW WILL BE YOU
It’s been a long time since I saw you
I’m at a loss for words
But when I heard the news
I went straight to your room
There’s no point in looking…
another sad one from me...i seem to be stuck in the groove....

While dancing to the sweet vibe of that sunshine
I suddenly felt the…

Still Good!
*Another Masterpiece Andrew!* Very unique and interesting.
Lots of energy! I love it!
I have the feeling there is a lot of the story not told, on purpose. That vagueness is very effective here. My imagination is running wild.
Whoooo Hooooo! This is darn good!
Beautiful! As I was playing this my wife took an interest too! She loves the piano.
Big full sound.
Oooh . . . That gave me a chill. Interesting mood music and affects.
