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:

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:

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

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!

Yeah you know what it is that I want
Oh you knew, didn't you, before I did?
How many times did you wonder whether I would dare?
Oh never mind...

I’m pressing on the upward way,
New heights I’m gaining every day;
Still praying as I’m onward bound,
“Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.”
Refrain
Lord, lift me up and let me stand,
By faith, on Heaven’s table land,
A higher plane than I…
I was finally able to finish this one up over this past week. Like always I am never satisfied but I have come to a point where I just tell myself enuff is enuff and move on to the next song...pheww! Hopefully it sounds good on everyone elses…

i was trying to work on a piece for a shark video of mine, but this is what came out instead,, my piano moments collections are the small musical threads that emerge amongst/while i am working/thinking about other things,,,
A remix of this tune by a guy who really knows how to mix tracks proper...Andy found a producer type guy that liked this song but thought the mix was really bad...so I sent him all the individual tracks and this is what he came up with I think…
Seriously - seriously? Nah! this is a post modernistic approach to nothing. Drum machine, but all else played live. Including the voice. I'm on the telephone. I wasn't. Bit of a quiz included - what are these songs??? I'm on the telephone. I'm…

Life keeps trans-versing time, the things lost,the things to be found, and the moment we live in , Don't set out the dance, or decide not to go. Where ever you are be there.
AT THE RISK OF BEING ALL WET> Out on the perilous deep
Where danger silently creeps
And storm so violently sweep
You're drifting too far from the shore.
Chorus
Drifting too far from the shore
You're drifting too…
A song about my dad. Written a few years ago but I wanted my family to do the harmonies. Finally I got the last two laid down week. There are 10 harmonies featuring sisters, sons, daughters, nieces and nephews and I thank them all for their amazing…

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

Andrew . . . You have found the *SWEET SPOT* Impressive playing, and the vocal track is outstanding.
Good One Terry!
Fresh and upbeat! Very nice listening.
Lost At Sea . . . *"Good Gawd"* . . . I'm going sailing this afternoon. Let's hope *Big Legged Woman* doesn't make us list to starboard or port.
Another old favorite of mine. Well sung my friend.
This is beautiful.
That really sounds goood. "Good Gawd" You are really something!
Great song! *"Serving coffee while men grab her behind"* You gotta love it when you hear that in a song! . . . . . & 44DD
Just the right amount of insanity. It makes me want to call someone.
That was fun! I pulled out the old harmonica and played along.
Very pretty. I like the mandolin, and the refrain.
Another good old song.
You make it sound so easy. Well done.
Beautiful. I can see why your Aunt is proud of you!
This is one of my favorite songs.
This has, at least for me, an etherial quality to it. It's very interiging.
Very touching tribute and a great idea including the family.
Sad song. Congratulations on your 38 years. Just curious how many years you behaved yourself and how many you didn't.
This is a spine tingler. So now I have to ask . . . how does this relate to your family history?
Great Family Effort. I like the way it bounces along.
