In memory of my Friend who was bigger than life, and an ego the size of Lake Superior.

That know one else could see
I wish I would have had the chance

Quick recording of a new set of pipes I'm working on. Long winded explanation- prior to the late 19nth century most Irish pipes featured very small bores and finger holes and were pitched well below modern concert pitch. I've always loved them…

I had this on Alonetone before but accidentally deleted it. This version has been remixed and mastered with different plugins.

Had this one written before the end of year. Finally hit the record button a couple of weeks ago with some electric rythym guitar tracks and built it from there. I was having a problem getting the song to mix right and had an idea to try a different…
The news today reminded me of this old traditional American song. In 5000 years we still haven't figured out how to keep the world from being run by the war mongers instead of the peacemakers. Certainly we have learned nothing since the time when…

After Greg Connor wrote this for me a while back, I kept listening to it every time I was feeling tired of winter, which at this time of year is several times a day. Somehow every time I listened to it, it reminded me of my dad. I know he would…
Beautiful Robert and a very touching tribute to your Dad.
That Martin rings like a bell, and is a good compliment to the banjo.
Thanks for the nice surprise this morning.
Next in the little pile of songs from the shoe-box. This one has the date 27th January 1994 written on it, but it's describing an episode from many years earlier when I was, I'm guessing, something like 12 or 13 years old.

I see your mind is going *"full speed ahead"*
Who would have thought that success with the ladies was all predicated on "Groovy Leather Pants". I think I better go get a a pair.
Nice guitar play too, by the way!
I'd been following the Euro horsemeat scandal since it broke in the UK some time ago. But the songwriter in me didn't react until Ikea found pony in their Swedish meatballs the other day.

Overall fantastic presentation.

I went down to the riverside

I stripped right down to my naked skin
I jumped in the river and hoped I'd learn to swim
Cause I knew the river would take me

And whether I live…

Heartfelt and beautiful! That clean, "exposed" style is very courageous, if you know what I mean. (love the whistle too )
Just another great one Gregg. I really like the lyrics ...things I have thought many times, but not able to get it down like you can. Verne
The sound is very Townes Van Zandt... I was listening from the other when it first came on and I thot it WAS TVZ. Like an Irish TVZ.
Oh, so many could identify with this beautiful song. Tenderly done Greg.
Currenly kicking my admiration into overdrive
Oh gosh, Greg, how beautiful! I miss you bunches over at ez. Make a deal with you -- come back to Richard's and I'll give alonetone another try. Stay gorgeous! GEM

Sweet gentle looking back without anger

Great Poetry James!
Outstanding ! This stirs something in me way down deep. Let's hear more of this.
Good One! I like the way it bounces along.
Does this have anything to do with the profession you mentioned you were in? Stripper? Very pretty song . . . you old softy!
That hits the spot!
Sounding good.
Beautiful song! Nice picking and singing too.
It must be "Meant To Be". Your new song sounds like it fits together perfectly. Nothing better than a spontaneous success.
Kicking Ass this morning. Good GAWD
Beautiful Robert and a very touching tribute to your Dad. That Martin rings like a bell, and is a good compliment to the banjo. Thanks for the nice surprise this morning.
I should be working . . . but . . . I just had to take another pass through your video again. Something about that last chord and the expression on your face. Now, off to work!
Delightful lilting song
Beautiful. A great tribute to your friend. Sounds like open tuning . . . my favorite!
Great guitar sounds and That's the way to belt out a song! Excellent
I see your mind is going *"full speed ahead"* Who would have thought that success with the ladies was all predicated on "Groovy Leather Pants". I think I better go get a a pair. Nice guitar play too, by the way!
I had to saddle up for another listen this morning. Well done!
A good depiction of the self employed musician.
Let's Celebrate! Congratulations Roger!
