River run away with me
I got my paddle in my hand
Take me far away from here
Take me to the sea
Take me somewhere I don’t know
Take me where the water goes
Start out fast, then go slow
Closer to the…
(Em) A legend that the sailors told
Tales shared from long ago
(C) Secrets that are captured in the (Em) air
(Em) It comes to you from far way
Whispered roars that fade away
(C) Answers that are carried on the (Em) breeze
Only (C) heard…

The most beautiful, gorgeous Sea Shanty I've ever hear. So haunting, chilling, gripping... I'm in awe. The instrumentation, the melody -- you're a marvelous talent. Too real! Wow -- just wow!

I’m a lucky boy
I’m filled with joy
I got angels guiding me
Happens every time
I don’t walk that line
Seems to work out splendidly
Stop and look around
I’m the luckiest boy in town
Ain’t no better can be found…

I was standing behind an elderly couple in the grocery store checkout line last week.
The cashier told them that someone had donated $100 toward their groceries. $100 had already been paid toward their $121 grocery…

Great stuff. And that's a truly fabulous vocal sound you've captured there - the intro was rolling along nicely and then, when the vocal came in, I just went "YESSS"
Another gem. You got me laughing.
Sometimes we're our own worst enemy. Sometimes we just need a little short term pleasure.
I like your optimism! ( it's not if . . it's when )
Based on an improvisation by Rog Hildreth, Stuart Jewkes and Tom Goy. We used to live in university halls together and would frequently improvise songs as people entered the room. The best of these was for Riona. Stu and I recreated it here with…

I think this was the first Blues I wrote, about 5 years ago.Changed the tempo & got my mate Dave to play harmonica on it. Thanks Dave.Listening to the old version, couldn't remember what I played so had to revamp it, old age!!! DOH !!!!!
A NON Banjo-centric song that pokes a bit of fun at the zaniness of the 1980s.
This is the G-rated version. There is a PG-13 version with one additional verse which contains some unvarnished language. You can get that version on my site…
An old song (2009) Started off as one thing ended up as this. No, don't know Rose, wish I did though !!! Or, is it about the good wife ??? Or, is it about.......
What if Bo Peep were a bit of a b*tch? If I knew her when she was like that, I might write a song like this.

Maybe I could help you

Maybe I could…
The lyrics for this song were inscribed on the headstone when the legendary character Tom Thumb died. Inge did the vocals for this song and did a wonderful job. The harmonies, along with the a capella intro and coda, are hers, and take the song…

So gorgeous!
Ha ha! Very cool! Rock on!
The flute is especially beautiful in this one.

Party on! I like that grungy guitar. Really enjoyed the beat -- this song is a lot of fun.

Oh this is the stuff. Damn fine... I know someone who occasionally "collects" poppy seeds for planting in her own garden, can you get 3 to 5 for that?
Great stuff. And that's a truly fabulous vocal sound you've captured there - the intro was rolling along nicely and then, when the vocal came in, I just went "YESSS"

O H . M Y . G O S H I'm adding this to the Spring Album! http://alonetone.com/forums/making-music/topics/spring-time
This is beautiful. You have captured that loneliness humanity with a hint of triumph in the end.
Nice work for a first song! The harmonica adds a lot, and, as Steve mentioned, the tempo adds a lot.
The mandolin is a nice touch. A very pretty and poignant song.
Amen Brother! I thought I was listening to David Bromberg there for a second. Good message.
Good entertainment this morning! Well played my friend, and the lyrics are hilarious. I like your trailer too.

Good story telling and good picking John!
Ukelele? . . . nice touch.
Nice piano and story telling.
I got a chuckle out of the title. Great attention getter!
I had to stop for a little more Chuck Berry this afternoon.

Good One!
This really caught my attention. It's different and very interesting.
