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…
This may be one of my favorite turns of yours. Love the bluesy cool feel. And the lyrics are so good!!! The guitar work is wonderful. I love that slide thingy. An instant fav
You're producing some awesome music there Greg! Thank goodness that winter weather is gone indeed. Always love your harmonica. I bet Rita loves this one too!!!!
Hey how did you know it's raining here!!! perfect song today. Is that an accordion on the chorus? Sounds great....love the lyrics and the whole feel of this one.....cheers me up while on lock-down!!!!
hope all is well with you and Rita!!!
Here is my entry for the "Who Knew" Song Writing Challenge. Thanks for including me :)
Lyrics:
When I was a young boy
I never knew what it meant
to be unloved
When I was a young man
I never knew what it meant
to be undone
Now I’m…

One of my first experiments with DADGAD tuning. I was hoping to get a dark,droning sound. I lived in Missouri for a lot of years and this sounds like what it feels like to be out in the sticks there.
Great Beginning! Very inviting to listen to. It just pulled me in.
Excellent contribution to the Song Writing Challenge!

My apologies to Ray Willie Hubbard. This sounds nothing like his great version of this. All instruments played by me, in studio.
This was before I discovered the usefulness of a pop filter.
Chris sent me over this track and i got to wondering what i could do to add to it. The tragedy of the Russian plane flying back from Egypt came to mind .....
CHAOS
The chaos of our time
rules our minds
The crazy
trust in chaos
Chaos will…
Well the MN songwriters were in my living room tonight. We all shared our contributions to the "glass" songwriting challenge. Here's the live version of Poorly Blown Glass with Greg Connor on Guitar, Scott Zosel on Mandolin, Colin Walterson…
This song will touch your heart, once. Its composition is so well. One of my friend sent me this song. She made me perk up with this song. Its wordings are not only remarkable but unforgettable. Let me know your opinion for this song.
Great song! It pulled me in from the start.
Interesting Lyrics complimented with wonderful instrumentation.
*(Not what I was expecting after reading your profile description)*
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.

EXCELLENT .. EXCELLENT .. EXCELLENT You got the touch! Well sung and played! I love the lyrics! Time to press Replay
Captivating song. It really grabs you and wont let go.
You have captured it Reg! Unfortunately the story behind the song keeps getting worse.
Beautiful ...................
Well done, especially with everything that is going on in the song. It fits together well.
I like that gritty slide! Nice playing!
Beautiful music for what seems like a senseless event.
Good Entertainment!
The white light coming through the door at the end gave me the chills. That's a pretty neat video!
This is beautiful. Nice work on this one Colleen! I'm amazed at the quality of recording from a small handheld recorder sitting on your coffee table.
I love that acoustic music!
Well done
You always come up with the best melodies and lyrics. I love the simplicity of this. The doubling of voice (W/Reverb) is a nice touch.
Great song! It pulled me in from the start. Interesting Lyrics complimented with wonderful instrumentation. *(Not what I was expecting after reading your profile description)*
Well played.
OH YEAH
