I'm doing just Fine with Buck Erpestad. Check out Bucks music here:

Here is what Buck said he added:
"So I used the tremolophone (vibes) and tuba sounds in Garageband and played them on the keyboard."
Steve Krell (SLKrell) and I have been feuding over the same girlfriend for a while now. In fact, there are several songs about her on Alonetone. Here is the latest in the story:

Rosie made him pack his bag

I've been teasing Steve (SLKrell) about Rose, from Las Cruces Nevada, ever since he wrote a song about her for Valentines Day a few years ago.
Rosie is a figment of our imagination. I wrote a song about stealing her away from Steve:

Highway signs go by all night
Open window to catch the breeze
Helps me clear my cluttered mind
Road noise rumbling through the floor

My mind is racing up ahead

Magic!!!, I' am not sure why but I am getting an image of the scene where they are travelling in their little VW van in Field Of Dreams, it just conjures up that image, would fit well in the film I think, nice simple song, nothing too brash or too loud, I'll keep an eye out for more :)
I had fun singing this at the open mic this past week.
Originally written for a song writing challenge using the phrase *"Chicken Plucking Time In Petaluma"*
Just danced around the kitchen to this one with my little grandson Rory. He loved it! And then he fell off to a happy sleep. Thanks Greg!!! We needed the perfect song and this was it tonight!

I found this one while I was digging through the shoe-box for the 1994 songs. Apparently I wrote it on 10th November 1995.
Foolishly, I thought it would only take a week or so to record... I was originally expecting…
So I had this song, not quite finished, I sort of insisted Greg Connor sing it, he also wrote the last verse. Steve Krell added the solo break. I think they helped to bring the song alive. Oh yeah, I'm in the Chorus ...... hiding Somewhere. :) :)

Hey Colleen, you asked "Who did the scary cries????"
There are two theories:
1. It's Rita calling me for dinner.
2. It's my world famous Elk Rut recordings that I usually play every Halloween.
Well... I have a feeling that many of us may wish for a 2020 do-over. So here's a simple song to make that wish for us all!
Oh Mulligan

My jaw is clenched so tight
Even in my dreams it’s a battle

Nice one. a very lonesome sound
Love how mellow but driven this is. The harmonica is great as mentioned!
Loving the laid back, groove!
The harmonica is one of the most professional things that I've heard on Alonetone. Very VERY nice!
Boy you really have a nice story here. Great instrumentation and mix! Great harp BG. Gotta get one of those.
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really love this. That harp is killer good, and the rest is so great. Love the rattler. Great lyrics. You are a writing machine!

My feet are tapping! This is the stuff.
It's fun to hear how you just find these gems in the shoe box.
There we go! Good stuff!
Great song Roger!

That's really beautiful Colleen! A nice artistic way of saying what we all feel. Thank You!
I'm right there with you. I'm a button pusher when it comes to the radio.
It would be fun to hear your band play live someday. I wonder if you have anything on YouTube?
I like that Northern Michigan influence. Nice groove!
Lovely little ditty. You are the master of the quick statement and done song.
Yes, I just enjoy your band. Great singing and playing!
Good stuff!
Great reflection of what we're all feeling. It's been the summer of simple pleasures.
I love that 12 string sound!
Beautiful song. The pauses offer striking clarity.
Fantastic, and a poignant reminder of most people’s lives right now.
I had to stop for another listen.
Beautiful song, and production.
Good Stuff!
This is GREAT Terry!
