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!!!

I decided to keep working on this one a bit on the "keep messing with it" program.... added some backing vocals and some piano.... kind of like where its heading after the one take wonder before... Any other suggestions are very welcome…

Another one of my musical creations, the first one after my open heart surgery, I finally am getting more strength to sing again :-) So I decided it was high time to have a go in writing a little french number. I hope you enjoy it. Kind regards, Anna
I recently got back in touch with an old friend/guitarist who had moved across the country nearly 20 yrs ago. We discussed maybe doing a collab so I whipped up this original instrumental track and he laid down the lead melody guitar part.
Hope…

Rendition of Stepping Out originally by John Mayall and the Blues Breakers. A little tone secret that Eric used on some of these tracks is he set his toggle switch to the middle position and turned his neck pickup volume down to about 7 or 8 by…
Psychedelic Folk. Ever meet that special someone in a laundromat? Ever do it on top the dryer? Either way, you’re sure to dig this clean groove. Compilation by Stephen L. Krell and Gene Eric Mann.
HEAR MY FINAL SONG
Most were drinkin', four were playin' cards
Two were dancin', one he played guitar
He was singin' how she broke his heart
Some were smokin', smoke rings filled the air
One was flirtin', playin' with her hair
He was…
Sad and sweet memories, Gene Eric Mann's last song.

My idea for the song was, what if life was a bar, and all 7.5 billion earthlings were group into just a handful of characters that could fit into a bar – what is everyone doing? What are they thinking?
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.

Uploaded just in time for the 2013 peak of the Perseid meteor showers of 2013, which I definitely won't see, as our autumnal "maritime" (i.e. sh**ty) climate is doing its thing.

I came over to find your "horse meat" song. I can't find it, but I'm finding all these other gems that I completely forgot about.
You made my day Robert! Now I'm inspired!

Another pretty song that brightened my day. Thanks Greg!
Sounding very good and fine slide work. Good job.

Do you ever listen to anyone's music but your own?
Leave it out Greg, we all struggle with songs, then you drop a gem like this, *#*@#*# or words to that effect. Love it.
Great song...really love the chorus! Amazing lyrics
Love it! Harmonies, catchy lyrics, guitar solos - this song has it all 👌

Gregg, pure genius without AI. Another Gem.
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.
Beautiful song, Greg. I used to pick up agates growing up in Western Wisconsin, but none here in NW Minnesota.
Sorry I was you guest commenter yesterday! I didn’t realize I wasn’t logged in. Great song by you!!!

Ooooooooooooh !!! I like those harmonies! That piano is a perfect touch. It's another winner Colleen. Nice going.
Ron is right, your voice is getting stronger each time.
A refreshing bit of joy! I'll bet your Dad enjoyed this.
Great song! Lots of energy. I don't speak French, so I can only imagine what the whispering is about ... And I have a vivid imagination!
Very pleasing to listen to. It lends itself well to lyrics too.
P O W E R F U L
A little taste of the Caribbean, at least to my ear. Nice!
Nice performance
After we talked about this song on the phone, I had to take another listen. *YUP* . . . and *YUP* on both topics !!!!!!!!!
Amazing James! You got the touch!
This song needs a little *Mississippi Harmonica Heat* I'm anxious to hear some of your new Hot Licks!
Instant smile!

I hope this one makes it on your new album! This is a great song . . . but I think you should fire your harmonizers.
This one is special !!!
Still one of my favorites!
Another masterpiece! Lots of fun playing music around your coffee table.
