Greg, the lyrics brought tears, silently sliding down my cheek, and a tug at my heart. The words have so much meaning and you found the true meaning of "Photographs" being a timeless picture of our memories. You have a special gift of music and I am so grateful you share with all of us.

Greg this is one of my favorites of all time. Your lyrics really touched me. And that timely harmonica just brings the bittersweet feel of the song. You are amazing!
I'm trying my hand at creating instrumentals for Sync Licensing. This track is actually one file containing 3 pieces of music: Orion's Belt 1, 2 & 3.
You can find my instrumentals on Pond5. Here is the address:

A friend got me excited about writing short instrumentals for Video, TV etc and posting them on Pond5 ( A site catering to that type of thing). I recorded this little banjo piece this morning.
Just in time for St Patrick's Day . . . . And with any luck we might have a bonus "LIVE" Leprechaun track coming soon. The Minnesota Coffee table met and recorded a fun version last night.

We have a great bunch of singer/songwriters and their beloved here in Cowtown. You would love being here and you would be loved. Your little creative contingency feels like a more intimate group and more involved in projects together. It gives me the sense of warmth on a winter day in an old log cabin, too cold to go out so you all just make the best of it. I wonder what kind of treats you all bring. What kind of liquids you share... How far you travel to get together. We had what we call a house concert night before last at one of "our" houses. Levi Ray and his dad and husband/wife duo. We all put some money in the kitty and each played for about an hour. After, we always do a little song circle for the rest of us. Tamales, chips and salsa, ice water and wine, cheese cubes and cookies. I would guess many of us drive 15/20 miles. Starts about 7 and we get home about midnight. We also have a weekly, Wednesday evening song circle around a fire pit in the patio at a biker bar called Dirty Water. Everyone plays along. Girls and guys. Some of us go back many years.
If Texas Water had heard this when we were in our hayday (sic) we would have done this one up in three-part harmony. I'm sitting here singing along. Great song for a Fort Worth Saloon.
Here is the latest song challenge offered by the Minnesota Asscociation of Songwriters:

Your mission this month is twofold:
1. Try creating a boundary between the production of content versus the judging…
I haven't listened to this for a while. Still knocks me out. Amazing presence. If this is not multitracked, if this is one of your coffee table productions, it... nope. No way. Every element is crisp. Flawless delivery. Master vocal. Pristine guitars...da da.
Found this little chappie while I was preparing my latest original for loading.
It was a quick demo recorded on my Boss Micro BR sometime in October or so last year (2011) while I was working on Shine.
It was a sort of "blow the cobwebs out…
New original from me, hot off the old wotsit.
When it was half written yesterday, I was considering binning it as a throwaway exercise - I do that quite often. But I played the songwriting demo to someone else and, er, apparently I should finish…
Refreshing new sound. It's nice to hear an acoustic guitar, and the harmonies are really nice.
And the message . . . well . . . you old softy! Well done.
A bit of comic relief is good when you have some writers block. I had he song mapped out years before I recorded it. I need to record its companion "Won't you please squeeze my udder Farmer Joe?".
So MTC put out [this wonderfully sparse instrumental piece](http://alonetone.com/mtcband/tracks/shadow-of-myself) and a vocal line just jumped out at me. Then some harmonies jumped out as well.
The harmonies are fantastic, but it's the complete package that caught me.
It's as if you both knew the end result before you ever started.
Excellent . . . Just Excellent

From a few years back. Bill Pohl, Darrin Kobetich and I playing in the lounge at the Ridglea theater, in Fort Worth, Tx. Our first performance as "Strung, Drawn and Quartered". Notable because of my first use of live looping.

Third time through . . . I'm still laughing!
I hardly recognized the old gal from the lyrics I sent. She's all grown up now.
"Ronnie Cream Cheese" has a way of doing that to the ladies.
Destine to be a Classic.
You have created a very thought provoking song. Well done Terry!
People have hidden behind religion to do unquestionable things for centuries, and the other guy is always the vilian.
I was going to put this on here tomorrow morning but knowing i'll be dead to the world i thorght i'd better put it on now before i get started ha ha ha!
I usually play bottleneck Dobro in Open D tuning.
This is much more melodic than that old Dobro screaching away like a couple of crows on a fencepost.
I pulled out my Low D Irish whistle and played along with you this morning.
Very nice music Paul.
A sweet little song by a grandma lady from out west "Melvina Reynolds" bless her heart and excuse the language, Smile don't mind failing in this world,
I don't mind failing in this world,
Don't mind wearing the ragged…
I wrote this song after reading the book, Immanuel's Veins by Ted Dekker. At the end of the story the main character recalls the first verse of a hymn. I looked it up on the internet and learned that it is a hymn by an Englishman, William Cowper…
This was the first in this set of 3 songs I am posting. I was gaining alot of inspiration from the likes, of Justin Currie and Jackson Browne at the time.
Recorded using Reaper DAW & Jamstix virtual drummer software.
This is an ode for a good friend of mine that had took his own life at the end of last year. I was in the midst of writing some other songs and it stopped me in my tracks. I just wrote basically how I felt about this tragic ending to a very special…

Well played. After reading your notes I've decided to be nicer to you. Just kidding.
Refreshing new sound. It's nice to hear an acoustic guitar, and the harmonies are really nice. And the message . . . well . . . you old softy! Well done.
Refreshing. I like the sound of an acoustic guitar, and I really like the sound of acoustic and electric combined. Nice
I like the lead in and a little levity is always a good thing.
Suspenseful and Interesting. M O R E W I N E
The harmonies are fantastic, but it's the complete package that caught me. It's as if you both knew the end result before you ever started. Excellent . . . Just Excellent
I stopped by for my morning chuckle. I wonder if you have ever considered psychoanalysis?
Interesting music. You have some facinating sounds and textures going on here.
Third time through . . . I'm still laughing! I hardly recognized the old gal from the lyrics I sent. She's all grown up now. "Ronnie Cream Cheese" has a way of doing that to the ladies. Destine to be a Classic.

Good Lyrics, and good stomping music. I like the whistling.
I remember those days. Let's hope,at least in my case, the morning after stays a distant memory. Good foot stomper!
I usually play bottleneck Dobro in Open D tuning. This is much more melodic than that old Dobro screaching away like a couple of crows on a fencepost. I pulled out my Low D Irish whistle and played along with you this morning. Very nice music Paul.
This really trucks along. I really enjoyed the bass line.
Well Said / Good Message It reminds me of a specific SOB. I had the misfortune of crossing his path.
That was Fun!
B E A U T I F U L
I feel like I just found a quarter on the sidewalk. What a great find. Thanks for making my morning.
"Afterall" has a great swing to it. You really put this one together well.
Nice tribute to an old friend.
