Holy wow, now that's really something. right up there with anything in the profession. A little male baritone could be nice in there too. Still powerful as industry standards go.You all have hit on a sound that possibly will make you some money.
"Hey Motorman" was written for the 100 year celebration of the Ariel Lift Bridge.
The bridge was originally built in 1907 with a gondola that went from side to side carrying passengers and vehicles. It was later replaced with a lift system.

Wish good fortune come your way
A passing glance, I’m on my way
Trading smiles
Courtesy seems all but gone
No idea what went wrong
For most of us, it’s been too long

Lyrics
Cry of Love
Cry of love, heard in the meadow
Watching the wind blow
With love in the air
Cry of love, answered by another
Who courts the same lovers
With sounds of despair
Cry of love, heard in the daylight
Still crying…
My goodness, my listens this evening have been such a pleasure.
A beautiful song, and of course he does Greg! Look at him, isn't he gorgeous?
Cool banjo!
Lyrics:
Crazy people, wander round all night
Looking toward the Heavens
At little specs of light
Dragging round their telescopes
And Binoculars
All the tools they need to gaze among the stars
Crazy people, look at what they do…
Lyrics
Cry of Love
Cry of love, heard in the meadow
Watching the wind blow
With love in the air
Cry of love, answered by another
Who courts the same lovers
With sounds of despair
Cry of love, heard in the daylight
Still crying…

I think this was the first Blues I wrote, about 5 years ago.Changed the tempo & got my mate Dave to play harmonica on it. Thanks Dave.Listening to the old version, couldn't remember what I played so had to revamp it, old age!!! DOH !!!!!
A NON Banjo-centric song that pokes a bit of fun at the zaniness of the 1980s.
This is the G-rated version. There is a PG-13 version with one additional verse which contains some unvarnished language. You can get that version on my site…
An old song (2009) Started off as one thing ended up as this. No, don't know Rose, wish I did though !!! Or, is it about the good wife ??? Or, is it about.......
What if Bo Peep were a bit of a b*tch? If I knew her when she was like that, I might write a song like this.

Hey, Bo.
Where did they all go?
Hey Bo.
What do you know?
Maybe I could help you
In your quest.
Maybe I could…
The lyrics for this song were inscribed on the headstone when the legendary character Tom Thumb died. Inge did the vocals for this song and did a wonderful job. The harmonies, along with the a capella intro and coda, are hers, and take the song…

Good one! I like the harmonica.
Relaxed and easy to listen to. Very nice.
O H . M Y . G O S H I'm adding this to the Spring Album! http://alonetone.com/forums/making-music/topics/spring-time
This is beautiful. You have captured that loneliness humanity with a hint of triumph in the end.
Nice work for a first song! The harmonica adds a lot, and, as Steve mentioned, the tempo adds a lot.
The mandolin is a nice touch. A very pretty and poignant song.
Amen Brother! I thought I was listening to David Bromberg there for a second. Good message.
