I had fun singing this at the open mic this past week.

I like what you're doing with mandolin these days. Something I'd like to do more with but a) it's tuned so weird!! and b) the neck is dinky for my short fat fingers.
Sure have that same feeling of summer flying by! Good to hear your beautiful voice and lovely song here. I really like this one! Pensive and melancholy. Lovely
Pack a bag and head out west
Change of clothes and leave the rest
Northern skin needs a little sun
Sunshine can cure anyone
Slow it down to a steady pace
Forget about the human race
All I need is what’s inside
Take the rest and let it…

Here is a *MOJITO* Fueled version of "TV Dinner" that we recorded last Monday night in my Basement.
It's one of 9 songs we will be taping for Community TV, thanks to the *Minnesota Association Of SongWriters*

Summertime in Boston, and this little tune is about how it goes by way too fast. Some hilarious chatter between the guys before and after they kick of a pseudo-psychedelic groove that I hope you will enjoy.
FIVE THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED-EIGHTY
(HOW MANY KNOW?)
Nobody knows, nobody knows the pain You suffered
No one can know, can truly know the pain You suffered
The pictures show You hanging from The Cross
No marks but the five…
I wrote the lyrics and melody to this song a week or so ago when I was feeling that unsettling disconnected feeling we all get from time to time when we're missing the people we love.... Then I gave myself the challenge to try a few things with…
A new song, still just a sketch, recorded live at Winterland studios for my demo. Story about a guy living in Tuscon, AZ, lamenting the irony of the beauty and hardship of living in the desert.
Fellow alone toner Gary Talbott kindly volunteered to add some of his own vocals and strings to this song, so I gladly took him up on it. Fun to keep evolving this one. Thanks Gary!
I was up early this morning before the children so i got me and Les to do and ad-lib song in one take....i wish i had turned the mic down a bit as you can hear me hitting the strings but hey its a kind of percussion...isn't it?

I finally got a chance to listen to this on some decent speakers.
Nice going guys! It just bounces along with great vocal, harmony, and instrumental accents.

This one's a bit of a ponderous beastie.
It can be whatever you want it to be. For me, it's got a lot to do with Sunday 18th June 1815.

Your wagon-train
Is out of danger
And of course you never lie

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…
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.

Oh wow! I just listened and remember you playing this last time around the coffee table. This is one of my all time favorites of yours!
Listening to this one tonight with little Rory. He is loving it!
Love this one :)
Nice & cool
The first line alone conveys so much! Powerful song on multiple levels. Thanks for sharing it.
Great song even though there is a sad undertone.
Very Nice Greg !

Wow cool track mate

She wants to know if you're playing London some time soon!
Wife: Click the fave button! Me: OK
Wife lying on the sofa goes "who's this??" - I play her some more :-) Mighty cool tune, btw.

Brings up the memory of Grateful Dead for me. The song just drifts along to a happy ending. I like the bantar at both ends too.
You guys have a very unique sound! It's very enjoyable.
This has a great feel to it! Well done.
*OUTSTANDING* That's the best Ukulele I've ever heard. I like the symbolism of *"droplets at the edge of a river"* This might be my new favorite song!
*"A drop dead blue eyed honey"* I love it. Your lyrics are a lot of fun!
Heavy topic but Pretty to listen to.
Reminds my of Dylan. Your lyrics and phrasing are top notch.
Beautiful Song! I heard about the compilation album. This would make a Great addition to the album.
Oh . . . I like this!
You got the magic! Still *Kicking Ass* this morning.
Well . . . there's the difference. I'm stumbling for the coffee when I get up. You are making music with you Les Paul. I need more of that!
I finally got a chance to listen to this on some decent speakers. Nice going guys! It just bounces along with great vocal, harmony, and instrumental accents.
Another excellent version! Great song, and Gary really spiced it up!
*Another Masterpiece Andrew!* Excellent instrumentation and the Lyrics weave in and out perfectly!
One of my favorites!
I stopped by for another listen. Still good!
Now That is Folk Music!
Good to hear that *"Portsmouth"* sound
Unique . . . That's for sure. I have to say, you had me until the end. Pretty interesting.
You got the magic Johnny!
