Two hours before morning light
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
Leaving…
That one is getting added to my collection of late night highway cruising tunes. Wish I'd had it when I used to drive all night between gigs in your general neck of the woods. Don't have that much use for the collection these days, but ya never know.
Here is a Steve Krell song.
Buck Erpestad and I recorded live using two acoustic guitars.
Here is a link to Steve's original version : http://alonetone.com/slkrell/tracks/saskatchewanshostalconnorkrell

This might be my favorite SLKrell song.
This is an impromptu version that Buck & I played with the tape rolling.
Here is the original version of the song:

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"*
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:

Just like two sides
Of the same silver dollar
We’re not alike but still the same
And your big life
Makes mine look smaller
I wonder if you know my name
I wait around
You might be calling
A telephone that never rings
End of the day…

When I was a young boy
I never knew what it meant
to be unloved

One of my first experiments with DADGAD tuning. I was hoping to get a dark,droning sound. I lived in Missouri for a lot of years and this sounds like what it feels like to be out in the sticks there.
Great Beginning! Very inviting to listen to. It just pulled me in.
Excellent contribution to the Song Writing Challenge!

My apologies to Ray Willie Hubbard. This sounds nothing like his great version of this. All instruments played by me, in studio.
This was before I discovered the usefulness of a pop filter.
Chris sent me over this track and i got to wondering what i could do to add to it. The tragedy of the Russian plane flying back from Egypt came to mind .....
CHAOS
The chaos of our time
rules our minds
The crazy
trust in chaos
Chaos will…
Well the MN songwriters were in my living room tonight. We all shared our contributions to the "glass" songwriting challenge. Here's the live version of Poorly Blown Glass with Greg Connor on Guitar, Scott Zosel on Mandolin, Colin Walterson…
This song will touch your heart, once. Its composition is so well. One of my friend sent me this song. She made me perk up with this song. Its wordings are not only remarkable but unforgettable. Let me know your opinion for this song.
Great song! It pulled me in from the start.
Interesting Lyrics complimented with wonderful instrumentation.

Comments on Greg Connor's stuff
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!
This might just be your best work to date...amazing tune .. love the title..great mix

EXCELLENT .. EXCELLENT .. EXCELLENT You got the touch! Well sung and played! I love the lyrics! Time to press Replay
Captivating song. It really grabs you and wont let go.
You have captured it Reg! Unfortunately the story behind the song keeps getting worse.
Beautiful ...................
Well done, especially with everything that is going on in the song. It fits together well.
I like that gritty slide! Nice playing!
Beautiful music for what seems like a senseless event.
Good Entertainment!
The white light coming through the door at the end gave me the chills. That's a pretty neat video!
This is beautiful. Nice work on this one Colleen! I'm amazed at the quality of recording from a small handheld recorder sitting on your coffee table.
I love that acoustic music!
Well done
You always come up with the best melodies and lyrics. I love the simplicity of this. The doubling of voice (W/Reverb) is a nice touch.
