Old Country Songs
Wooden Chair by the window
Gibson on my lap
And the time I spend strumming
Is never coming back
The sun is shining on me
Evening won’t be long
I’m living in the city
Singing…
This song is in response to the song writting challenge offered by Carl Unbehaun of Minnesota HomeBrew Radio / Thief River Falls, MN

Recorded live around my coffee table with:

No, I never wrote the song, but always thought I would begin the song with the sound of my 12 guage shotgun as I open the action.
Gunshots and clapping are very hard to record. But there are plenty of places to go grab a sample.
Reminds my of those days when my hair went all the way over the top.
Have you ever thought of teaming up with Colleen for a song or two? I think you could really compliment each other.
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…
or A.K.A. the Caribou Lake song...
I wrote this one for my Dad, who while up at our family cabin in the north woods of MN said there's not enough music about the woods...
My first "one take wonder" - just me and my little Uke - roughing…

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.

I count my blessings…
A BIG, BIG thank you to Wildgeas who took my simple acoustic guitar song and turned it into a beautiful work of art. Arrangements and Production done magnificently by Paul Lennon (Wildgeas). Also, special thank you to Bethan who put her sweet…
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.
This is my arrangement of a wonderful romantic tune by the inimitable…
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!

This hits the spot! Well done!
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.

A little taste of the Caribbean, at least to my ear. Nice!

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 !!!
