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:
SLKrell says it’s a drag
Rosie made him pack his bag
Always…

Inspired by Last Week's Winter Storm where the only people out driving around in it were the people trying to prove Darwin's theory of Natural Selection.
Vocal addition by Colleen Dillon. Colleen also suggested the topic *"Winter Tune…
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
Leaving…
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.

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!

Had to really push the good wife sing this one. After a couple of years of serious health scares she had lost all confidence in herself. Glad I did my 'Phil Spector' trick on her. ( No gun involved !! )
This song was written on guitar by Kari Eskola from Finland. He sent me his guitar track along with this fantastic vocal recording by Emmi Inkeri asking me to replace the guitar with a piano accompaniment.
I tried my best, knowing that I'm not…
I promised you the world again
Everything within my hands
All the riches one could dream
They will come from me
I hoped that you could understand
That this is not what I had planned
Please don’t worry now
It will turn around
Cause I need more…
Ok lets get some oldies out, this and the next two tracks was recorded on my old recording studio machine. Ah, the good old days,rose tinted glasses of course !!! Or is it just me ......
I was thumbing a ride along a hot, deserted Caribbean road. When Steve pulled up in this vintage pre-war Chevy, I was very grateful. It just so happened he was heading to the same cantina I was, so we kicked back with a pitcher of mojitos…
After the tragic events of the last few days, I felt compelled to upload an old song I wrote in 2007.Tragically a young Soldier girl was killed in action in Iraq. She was just 19 years of age. I had to have a rant !!! I apologize in advance if…
Ditty #10 for RPMC. I really had a hard time trying to come up with the final track, so I fell back on the old loop/delay/ebow improv formula, which I had hoped to avoid on this album. Kind of acoustic Breaking Light. Well it crossed the finish…
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…
An RPM 2009 song. Well, this was a personal story for me that came about when your past intersects (briefly) with the present.
Lyrics:
20 years running through time and I remember
all the magic lines
that in our younger days
we drew…
I was planning on doing a theme-based rpm this year on outer space, but didn't manage to get all the rpm songs to fit. I've been reading a lot of Stanislaw Lem - probably my favorite science fiction author - and dedicate this to him. His books…
words by The Goods,E.G. & K.G. . music by me M.F. . our preferred rpm track . this song is about a coward and what he has coming, based on an assault of one of our loved ones. you can hear the anger. that is cool!
This is an old 19h century sea shanty (or chanty) arranged around clawhammer-style banjo, with a bit of Irish whistle, faux bodhrán, and a goofy pseudo-accent to Irish it up a little. Just in time for St. Paddy's Day.
Warning: the chorus can…
K.G. wanted to write a "good times" song and i think he hit this one out of the park. here in indy the highway does a big loop around the city. add some fun and music and that equals a rockin' good time.

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!

A provacative story, and the scary thing is that it's true.
I got a big smile out of this one! Great way to start a Monday.
Nice Relaxed Presentation with Good Vocals
Very refreshing!
This has the delight of the evening, and the dull throb of the morning after ..... all in one! Happy St Patrick's Day my Friend
Ah ... A Lovely tune indeed.
This is a beautiful song, and the piano and voice are wonderful.
What a great refreshing song!
I can just about picture you with rose colored glasses singing this song. It's very light and happy.
Pass me something with Rum in it. I'm feeling tropical.
Sad song but unfortunatly a very current topic right now.
Interesting and unique. I like that balance between staccato and drone.
Oh Yes, I'm getting thirsty now! I think I have a cold Beck's up in the refrigerator. Here I GOooo...
And the Song Of The Year goes to ......................... RON ROUCH !!!!! Good Gawd Ron ... You can really cut it loose.
I can always tell when I really like a song. i grin from ear to ear. I'm grinning my friend.
Just a hint of Grateful Dead.
Lot's of attitude here. I love it.
Ahhhhhh . . . St Patrick's Day. My favorite religious holiday. Where is that song you wrote a few years ago?
This is some "Old School" Rock & Roll.
Hey ... This hit spot. Nice electric guitar sounds, Maybe you could party with Norm and I sometime.
