#RPM Challenge 2013#
Oh it caught me by surprise
I Looked into your pretty eyes
Nothing more than a simple kiss
And a moment like this
We don’t need no fancy cars
Diamond Rings that shine like stars
You never really asked for more
Than moments…
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."
"Hey Motorman" was written for the 100 year celebration of the Ariel Lift Bridge.
The bridge was originally built in 1907 with a gondola that went from side to side carrying passengers and vehicles. It was later replaced with a lift system.
One of my other hobbies is watching wildlife in the area. I'm the happiest with a pair of binoculars around my neck and my hiking boots laced up.
Rita and I took these photos over the last few days, near our home.

I would love to see one of those owls in the wild. Unfortunately, I'd have to go out where they are, and when it comes to winter I'm a great indoorsman ! My Mom would have loved this. She was an avid bird watcher and feeder. I learned a lot from my childhood excursions tagging along in the woods and fields.

Gorgeous birds ! Great pictures and video. You added a very nice music melody for the film. I got a kick out of the notification for you post. The site said you had posted something and it was "so hot" they didn't know the details yet. :=) c

As an old forester, wildlife man...I'd venture a guess this is a pretty young "flyer." Great sscenes, notice old insulator on wire near shed...and the banjo music is wonderful...just wonderful...best to the two of you...v.g.
Reminds my of those days when my hair went all the way over the top.
Have you ever thought of teaming up with Colleen for a song or two? I think you could really compliment each other.
I decided to keep working on this one a bit on the "keep messing with it" program.... added some backing vocals and some piano.... kind of like where its heading after the one take wonder before... Any other suggestions are very welcome…
or A.K.A. the Caribou Lake song...
I wrote this one for my Dad, who while up at our family cabin in the north woods of MN said there's not enough music about the woods...
My first "one take wonder" - just me and my little Uke - roughing…

Another one of my musical creations, the first one after my open heart surgery, I finally am getting more strength to sing again :-) So I decided it was high time to have a go in writing a little french number. I hope you enjoy it. Kind regards, Anna
I recently got back in touch with an old friend/guitarist who had moved across the country nearly 20 yrs ago. We discussed maybe doing a collab so I whipped up this original instrumental track and he laid down the lead melody guitar part.
Hope…
The wonderful MN songwriters helped take a bite out of the January cold on Tuesday night this week and added some amazing depth to Singing in the Silence - We were as usual, recording on a little TASCAM around my coffee table. We had lots of…
Rendition of Stepping Out originally by John Mayall and the Blues Breakers. A little tone secret that Eric used on some of these tracks is he set his toggle switch to the middle position and turned his neck pickup volume down to about 7 or 8 by…
Psychedelic Folk. Ever meet that special someone in a laundromat? Ever do it on top the dryer? Either way, you’re sure to dig this clean groove. Compilation by Stephen L. Krell and Gene Eric Mann.
HEAR MY FINAL SONG
Most were drinkin', four were playin' cards
Two were dancin', one he played guitar
He was singin' how she broke his heart
Some were smokin', smoke rings filled the air
One was flirtin', playin' with her hair
He was…
Sad and sweet memories, Gene Eric Mann's last song.

My idea for the song was, what if life was a bar, and all 7.5 billion earthlings were group into just a handful of characters that could fit into a bar – what is everyone doing? What are they thinking?
Greg Connor added his amazing harp to the song. It really adds depth to it. I love Greg's playing on the song. Thanks so much, Greg! This is why Alonetone is great.
Lyrics & Music by Nick Plagakis
I count my blessings…
A BIG, BIG thank you to Wildgeas who took my simple acoustic guitar song and turned it into a beautiful work of art. Arrangements and Production done magnificently by Paul Lennon (Wildgeas). Also, special thank you to Bethan who put her sweet…
Uploaded just in time for the 2013 peak of the Perseid meteor showers of 2013, which I definitely won't see, as our autumnal "maritime" (i.e. sh**ty) climate is doing its thing.
This is my arrangement of a wonderful romantic tune by the inimitable…
I came over to find your "horse meat" song. I can't find it, but I'm finding all these other gems that I completely forgot about.
You made my day Robert! Now I'm inspired!

Great pictures Greg combined with nice flowing music. Perfect as usual.
A country song in fine form
Gorgeous birds ! Great pictures and video. You added a very nice music melody for the film. I got a kick out of the notification for you post. The site said you had posted something and it was "so hot" they didn't know the details yet. :=) c
Cool! Was this at Cleary Lake or Murphy-Hanrehan? And aren't snow owls nocturnal? The banjo playing is OK, too.
Snowy nostalgia for my am coffee time on alonetone The owlet is dressed for Minnisota

This hits the spot! Well done!
Ooooooooooooh !!! I like those harmonies! That piano is a perfect touch. It's another winner Colleen. Nice going.
Ron is right, your voice is getting stronger each time.
A refreshing bit of joy! I'll bet your Dad enjoyed this.
Great song! Lots of energy. I don't speak French, so I can only imagine what the whispering is about ... And I have a vivid imagination!
Very pleasing to listen to. It lends itself well to lyrics too.
P O W E R F U L
A little taste of the Caribbean, at least to my ear. Nice!
Nice performance
After we talked about this song on the phone, I had to take another listen. *YUP* . . . and *YUP* on both topics !!!!!!!!!
Amazing James! You got the touch!
This song needs a little *Mississippi Harmonica Heat* I'm anxious to hear some of your new Hot Licks!
Instant smile!

This is the stuff!

I hope this one makes it on your new album! This is a great song . . . but I think you should fire your harmonizers.
This one is special !!!
