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…
New one from me. It's ended up as a bit of a "crying into yer beer at Bob's Country Bunker" sort of song lol...
I've been sat on these lyrics in some form or another for absolutely years. I first wrote them one very dark night a few years after…
For Someone extremely special.
And for those that it might help.
Thanks to Dave Purssord for Playing Lead for me.
Thanks to St Mary’s for allowing me to record this live in the Church.
And Thanks to all you all here.
Peace

Some Say…
3rd song about Munga Brown...this time he heads to space to repopulate an all female planet!!!
Music, Lyrics, vocals and all instrument: Ron
Lyrics and inspiration: Andy
Lyrics
Chorus
This heres the story of Munga in space
left this earth without…
From a dark place. Inspired by a T.V. play & of course many News items over the years. Sadly also by close friends, ' But by the Grace of God, go I.....'
MAN THAT I AM - Key Dm
Dm
Train pulls out the station and the shades are all drawn
Cold steel bites my ankles and I am on my way home
G
I would jump out of that window. Risk a bullet in my back
Dm
But I'm shackled to a bunk…
We all lie all the time first person you meet says how are you ,you say fine, and so it go's wives know husbands lie and it the same the other way around. This song is just a little chiding man to woman , just try not to hurt each other and get…
I had to stop and play along with this one.
It took me a minute to figure out you were a half step lower than my banjo. That might be the first song I ever played in F#.
Good Song Terry!
Shows when you get fed up enough,you ain't afraid to raise hell and put a brick under it. (Icelandic national anthem-lyric)-...Oh, God of our country! Oh, our country's God!
We worship Thy name in its wonder sublime.
The suns of the heavens…
The first song I wrote, and yes Fran nicked it !!! It's about the nightmares she was having,which was keeping me awake at night. Same old dream about her childhood & her mother,say no more !!
That's a lot of story telling that you fit into a 7 minute song. I like how you sang "I used to be a little bit wild, but now I'm mostly tame".
I'll bet your wife worked hard to keep you on the straight and narrow.
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

Nice one great track mate
Good tune, Greg. A spot-on performance
another beauty Greg.. love that backing Banjo
Great song.... always good to listen again
..sounds like a tune off the old "Sun" label in Memphis - very nice..
Pretty and lilting... Very cool version of a great song.

Where are you Bethan? Let's hear a little of your great voice.
Let us hope that love don't end. Ha ha!
Still and all time favorite of mine. Came by for a listen and a smile.
OMG! I just found this.... These lyrics are hilarious. You guys are the bomb :-)
Beautiful song.

Big difference Terry. Nice work!
What do you think of recording this with your new microphone? I bet you could make the girls swoon!
Hope you don't mind. I added this to my "Favorites / Other People" playlist. I enjoyed this Adrew!
Lots of attitude . . . I love it.
Interest lyrics and great texture in the music.
Great way to start the day!
This song is "Out Of This World". You really got my feet tapping.
I encourage you to take another try at writing lyrics for this. It's a great track!
I really like this!
Powerful playing to match the message. Well done Roger!
That's the first Juice Harp I've heard on here. Nice going Terry!
Nice playing! Really nice playing!
I like songs about people and their behavior issues. For myself, I feel like I'm moving faster and faster and at the same time, barely moving forward.
Disturbing . . . I suspect that was your objective.
You are getting a great sound here! What have you done differently? whatever it is, do it again!

Yes . . . Great old song
It's refreshing to hear a a protest song. It keeps us all honest. You have a nice clear vocal recording here too.
Good song with a true story line . . . Great combination! Happy Birthday Tiger! What is this one? 34, 35, or are you still in your twenties?
