Strange Times is an international collaboration between Roger Harris & myself. Roger initiated the idea with the first verse and chorus along with a chord progression. I added the last verse and took some liberty in producing this version…

Quick recording of a new set of pipes I'm working on. Long winded explanation- prior to the late 19nth century most Irish pipes featured very small bores and finger holes and were pitched well below modern concert pitch. I've always loved them…
Music: Jip
Verse lyrics: Mark Goldsack
Chorus lyrics: Lady Jane
Lead recorder: Lady Jane
Vocals: Lady Jane
A wonderful collaboration that came about by Jip and Mark sending me music/lyrics totally independently and me having a eureka…
I had this on Alonetone before but accidentally deleted it. This version has been remixed and mastered with different plugins.
A bluesy acoustic tune with a slide guitar and banjo. Wrote the tune a long time ago, forgot it, remembered it when…
Had this one written before the end of year. Finally hit the record button a couple of weeks ago with some electric rythym guitar tracks and built it from there. I was having a problem getting the song to mix right and had an idea to try a different…
The news today reminded me of this old traditional American song. In 5000 years we still haven't figured out how to keep the world from being run by the war mongers instead of the peacemakers. Certainly we have learned nothing since the time when…
Ok then back to the Blues !! Picked up me ole guitar after I got in from work yesterday afternoon & this appeared !! Gobsmacked myself !! Recorded it this afternoon. Boy, I do like it when a plan comes together !!!

About an aging rocker who thinks he can still impress the ladies!!!

After Greg Connor wrote this for me a while back, I kept listening to it every time I was feeling tired of winter, which at this time of year is several times a day. Somehow every time I listened to it, it reminded me of my dad. I know he would…
Beautiful Robert and a very touching tribute to your Dad.
That Martin rings like a bell, and is a good compliment to the banjo.
Thanks for the nice surprise this morning.
Next in the little pile of songs from the shoe-box. This one has the date 27th January 1994 written on it, but it's describing an episode from many years earlier when I was, I'm guessing, something like 12 or 13 years old.
I had to go to a…
I should be working . . . but . . . I just had to take another pass through your video again.
Something about that last chord and the expression on your face.
Now, off to work!

Lyrics
Verse 1
I knew I was a rocker in my groovy leather pants
I looked at all…
I see your mind is going *"full speed ahead"*
Who would have thought that success with the ladies was all predicated on "Groovy Leather Pants". I think I better go get a a pair.
Nice guitar play too, by the way!
I'd been following the Euro horsemeat scandal since it broke in the UK some time ago. But the songwriter in me didn't react until Ikea found pony in their Swedish meatballs the other day.
Alonetoners - you're hearing it first!
** THE PONY…
Simple this one & new !!! Reuben Paul Harris born on this date to my Son & his good Wife. The blood line lives on for another generation !!!!
That's my Boy !!!
Love it, Love it.
Light & Bouncy. The ending is particularly touching. It sounded like the third generation weighing in.
Overall fantastic presentation.
Honest Man
-
I went down to the riverside
Way on down where the water's deep and wide
I stripped right down to my naked skin
I jumped in the river and hoped I'd learn to swim
Cause I knew the river would take me
or I'd learn
And whether I live…
January Town
-
With the snow coming down
in this January town

still echo in my head:
When one dies one is born anew
In the parking lot of the graveyard
a stranger walked up to me
he said…

Outstanding ! This stirs something in me way down deep. Let's hear more of this.
Good One! I like the way it bounces along.
Does this have anything to do with the profession you mentioned you were in? Stripper? Very pretty song . . . you old softy!
That hits the spot!
Sounding good.
Beautiful song! Nice picking and singing too.
It must be "Meant To Be". Your new song sounds like it fits together perfectly. Nothing better than a spontaneous success.
Kicking Ass this morning. Good GAWD
Beautiful Robert and a very touching tribute to your Dad. That Martin rings like a bell, and is a good compliment to the banjo. Thanks for the nice surprise this morning.
I should be working . . . but . . . I just had to take another pass through your video again. Something about that last chord and the expression on your face. Now, off to work!
Delightful lilting song
Beautiful. A great tribute to your friend. Sounds like open tuning . . . my favorite!
Great guitar sounds and That's the way to belt out a song! Excellent
I see your mind is going *"full speed ahead"* Who would have thought that success with the ladies was all predicated on "Groovy Leather Pants". I think I better go get a a pair. Nice guitar play too, by the way!

A good depiction of the self employed musician.
Let's Celebrate! Congratulations Roger!
