An old English/Scottish folk song. It's very well known, but has a great melody and I'm not ashamed to play it...

I believe this is a traditional tune, but I'm not sure. I learned it from uilleann piper Seamus Ennis or Liam O'Flynn (or both).

After digging this tune up really I really wanted to try it again on acoustic (which I don't play much). This is a second take recorded in…

Old music library track. I recorded this with a cheap Yamaha keyboard my step-father gave me. Wish I would have add little more to the repeat of the melody, but I think I…
Really nothing more than some voice leading practice. Unfortunately, I had no keyboard or orchestral samples when I did this, so I used Lilypond and TiMidity++ and step programmed it in a text editor. I've since bought Cubase and EastWest/QuantumLeap…

Thanks, I appreciate the comment...I'm so over due on another recording. Glad you commented it, at least it got me back to alonetone for some listening.
This is my 12 hour song (written, recorded, mixed, mastered) ... I pined away all day at it while a storm kept me company.
instrumentation:
a man lost his house and sold me his fretless bass for next to nothing. a family friend gave me…
close your eyes and imagine a glu concert-- what does it look like? describe this fake show to me... what would you want to see?
Oh, almost forgot. Many sounds, like these pretty cellos were found on freesound. I did manipulate the pitch on…
A moody solo acoustic thing that I came up with playing in a long forgotten tuning. Just got a new Zoom H4N, so this was recorded in my shop sitting at my reedmaking bench may 12 2009
Rough sketch of a proposed dreamy 12 string piece that I couldn't pull off on the 12 string so did this quick electric version with vocal pads. Not sure of the recording quality- sounds OK in my cans and kinda crappy on my monitors. Recorded march…
@Kirk - Yeah, some little things - my setup is cheap and low tech, but I played with some levels.
@VIVIAN CIRCLE - Thanks for the kind words. I'm enjoying the challenge, but wish I had more time to record and to listen to alonetoners....

Turquoise is for memory to you about me.
Turquoise is as my eyes,
you will see heaven in them,
you will sink in them for ever...
This song is about love, about leaving.

Rocks.

Great listen, love that tuning and e-bow!
I think i have fallen in love with the sound of that guitar. lol.
Right, so I'm still waiting in my sparkly frock and glass slippers for a partner.
such great song!
such a great dense guitar tone, sounds like an electric 12 string.
Absurdly good. These Irish reels of yours are just outstanding!
