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:

Highway signs go by all night
Open window to catch the breeze
Helps me clear my cluttered mind
Road noise rumbling through the floor
Been on this road once or twice before
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!

Okies, so I'm working on some other thing and it's taking a while... drums to do and wotnot. But in the middle of it I'm digging how my Martin acoustic is working out. You probs won't even be able to hear it amongst…
Here's the first of several versions that you'll see from a collaboration across the inter webs started by Greg Connor. He got us together on the Zoom and then look what happened!!!! Music and lyrics collaborated with the talents of Steve Krell…
Oh ..... this makes me proud. You guys are great party animals.
Listen to this; ukulele, slide guitar, organ, great vocals. It’s like we used to do in college when we filled the bathtub with all the booze.
On a resent group meeting of musicians , I was reminded of the love of Latin rhythms. Thank you Bethan.

I wrote this over a year ago and could not get it. the groove was too slow and so were my hands. well tzars better.
the concept came from a friend comparing his new love with a ten round boxing match . I could not resist.
So, a song about today's World, first and foremost , without Greg Connor and his imput to push me on this song it would've happened. Thanks Greg, you're a star.
It's in my will, Greg, a third of all the profits go to you ....... sorry promised…
Wow! I really like this. I hear the "Wife" earning her 1/3 Royalty. You added some GREAT new lyrics and that chorus sounds fantastic.
I like the addition of the second guitar in strategic spots (need our friends).
Well done Roger!

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!

This is Monday isn’t it? I’m going back to bed.
I like the chords and that 12 string. That echo in the end is priceless.
You are cooking with this! I love it.
I love those jazzy moves. Great imagery describing the balancing act that some relationships go through. That was fun!

Nice picking and good lyrics
Reminds me a lot of Robert Sumlin.
Unique with a few fun twists like “we still don’t know how long to wait .... forever”. Love it
Great blues vibe on this one.
