"So I used the tremolophone (vibes) and tuba sounds in Garageband and played them on the keyboard."

Hmmm... MY GarageBand doesn't have a tuba sound. I'd have used it if it did! Good choice for a country solo instead of the usual weeping pedal steel! :-D

Oh what a great song to listen to on this day of -45 degrees below here in Minnesota. You two do an especially beautiful job presenting the music and the thought. :) c
Wrote this song yesterday after another long week of crummy news in the world and had the good fortune of the Minnesota song writers in my living room tonight to help me bring it to life. Greg Connor - on the cigar beat box, Colin Walterson on…
Great Song! You have a lot going on here!
I love the lonely feel of this and how it evolves throughout the song.
Outstanding Lyrics: *"And I run a/c
with the windows down"* & *"Tripping on the wires at the edge of your farm"*
I like the bass line. Nice contribution to the *"Who Knew"* Challenge.

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…
I struggled to get this thing completed. I've been sat on it for weeks, finished, debating whether I was really prepared to let it go.
I loved the song when I wrote it, inspired by a wonderful week at the end of September. But the recording…
Recorded live at my friend Colleen's studio in the clouds with Scott on the mandolin, Greg on guitar, Collin on bass, Colleen on ukulele. Thanks for a fun challenge!
This is a rough cut, but I like it. Here are the lyrics:
TOMORROW WILL BE YOU
It’s been a long time since I saw you
I’m at a loss for words
But when I heard the news
I went straight to your room
There’s no point in looking…
another sad one from me...i seem to be stuck in the groove....

Yesterday I had a dream I became one
I was Watching the waves play around with the sun
While dancing to the sweet vibe of that sunshine
I suddenly felt the…

One of my first experiments with DADGAD tuning. I was hoping to get a dark,droning sound. I lived in Missouri for a lot of years and this sounds like what it feels like to be out in the sticks there.
Great Beginning! Very inviting to listen to. It just pulled me in.
Excellent contribution to the Song Writing Challenge!

My apologies to Ray Willie Hubbard. This sounds nothing like his great version of this. All instruments played by me, in studio.
This was before I discovered the usefulness of a pop filter.
Chris sent me over this track and i got to wondering what i could do to add to it. The tragedy of the Russian plane flying back from Egypt came to mind .....
CHAOS
The chaos of our time
rules our minds
The crazy
trust in chaos
Chaos will…

I like the rattle… makes me think that this peson is a real snake. And the tuba cracks me up, too. Send the jerk a copy

You, sir, and an incurable romantic. Don't seek to get cured.
Nice work, especially like the banjo.

Great tune, great chord changes adds up to a great song :)
I love that banjo pumping positive ions out of my upbeat bose speakers.
Another great song, Greg!

Oh . . . this is good! It's always fun sitting around your coffee table with you and the boys. *GREAT MESSAGE* in this song.
Great harmony supported by cool music!

Still Good!
*Another Masterpiece Andrew!* Very unique and interesting.
Lots of energy! I love it!
I have the feeling there is a lot of the story not told, on purpose. That vagueness is very effective here. My imagination is running wild.
Whoooo Hooooo! This is darn good!
Beautiful! As I was playing this my wife took an interest too! She loves the piano.
Big full sound.
Oooh . . . That gave me a chill. Interesting mood music and affects.
Replay . . . . Again!

Captivating song. It really grabs you and wont let go.

Beautiful ...................
