Written for the January Song Writing Challenge put forth by Carl Unbehaun on Minnesota Homebrew Radio Show. "Write about something new".
Inspired in part by the disruption caused by the Government Shutdown.
It's been a long time. Too many distractions and not enough time, or even focus to play lately.
Somehow this song, "Higher Ground" squeaked out from some hidden place.

Neat Song Greg. I like the way you blended the recording - Guitar - Great Voice - Harmonica. I did not realize you were a song writer along with all of the other talents.
The circling of life
The ability to find your way
Like a compass in the night
And the coming of another day
It’s like when the stars align
You’ve been given just a glimpse of truth
And you think that you might find
The Optimism held in…
This song is the result of exchanging "One Line Zingers" with my friend Tom last Saturday while playing a little music.
He challenged me to write a song about him and he would do the same at my expense.
The funiest song wins.

Down this road
A night misspent
With ill intent
The devil came
But I’m to blame
The fire smoldered
her faith grew colder
Stabbed twice
In the heart
Her love bled
Her soul torn apart
From this day on…
Hi all,
I'm back to Alonetone after a long hiatus. I got the urge to record more of my songs. Since my son started playing guitar, I wanted to share with him my music. I just want to show him that music is a wonderful creative outlet to express…
From Me
I don’t care what they think
From DC to New York – Looking for you
The sky is bright – But my heart is blue
Down, down, down – Down I go
100 miles an hour on this broken road
LOVE ME, KISS ME – I can’t understand what you see in…
One of those songs that just popped out in about an hour or so, a few hours to record, why don't all songs do that !!!! https://youtu.be/4SflrrmXqXk for a video.
You got a keeper here! I really like this one! It has an ethereal quality. I noticed you had a video of this song. I'm on my way to view it.

Just something I've been working on for an audio production course. Very early Stan, and as far as I know the only track to feature a banjo.
It's the story of a tragic shipwreck that also says 'tis an ill wind as blow no one any good!

Summer Grass- I didn’t originally intend for this to be the title track, but since most, though not all, of the songs on this album sound like summer to me, I decided, why not? The guitar even sounds humid and warm, but in that nice July way…
Second Original Sea Tale featuring Bowed Banjo for the Whale Sounds.
The world was lit by Whale oil Lamps and It made being a Whale Very Treacherous.

Here we go . . . . Banjo! This is a foot tapper, and a big smile maker.
This song has a contemplative quality for me. I found myself drifting along with it.
Setting the example and setting the pace. Way to go. When will we hear the next generation?
I love it!
Impressive! Beautifully constructed and presented.

Great story song! Lonesome at times and then hope, or at least a reason to live in the end.
You have always had a clean production style. This is professional. Is that the audio production course, or just natural ability?
Ahhhhhhh . . . nothing better than a little banjo.
You got my feet moving!
Second time thru . . . It's fun to hear that classic "Ron Rouch" singing style mixed with Art's guitar playing.
Oh . . . . . This is Beautiful !!! I love it!
Beautiful song Gary!
Sad song to match a sad situation.
Beautiful, another masterpiece.
Good story put to music.
Bowed banjo? Nice touch!
Ohhhhhhhh, I like the one.
Beautiful Tribute Roger
This song sounds a lot warmer than the weather we've been having lately.
