A song about being self-centered, it needed to be full of angst and antagonism, but also needed the glimmer of something bigger still. Already people have sent me notes, which I am grateful for, but everyone seems to misinterpret the meaning of…
Don't tell me how it is, I'm good, I got it, I got it. But are we blind, and are there cracks in a facade? The riff was what came first, probably while watching the idiot box one evening. I am pretty sure it came very soon after RPM '15, and I…

This song is meant to be the intro, set the stage, and talk about the direction of the album. The riff came to me while I was absent-mindedly noodling on my gtr in front of the idiot box one day. I knew at that point I had an album opener of a…
He missed you, and though you failed more often than not, you are welcome back home. And there you have it, in all of it's declarations, to ponder, to think about, to question, to wonder. Sonder.
Ok, before I go any further, I need to thank Alonetoner Greg Connor. He proposed a song-writing challenge around the theme of "Who Knew" in early/mid December. Many musicians here in the Alonetone community wrote some amazing songs around this…
Things are great, but then the doubt explodes into technicolor fear. Stoicism can't defeat reality, or is it awareness? And still the antagonist is there. Hard to know.... Another TV-time riff (I hardly watch it, but when I do, I always have a…

This Lovin’ Cup- I was watching the idiot box and just holding my guitar when this little vamp on a B chord came out of nowhere. Using the same recorder, I recorded about 20 seconds of the riff. The lyrical idea came on the trip to Chicago, while…
This all ends, some days are good, some days you are no further than where you first began, or worse. Have faith. The song started life from the verse gtr. It was actually a variation of an idea from 2014. That idea went on to become the song…

Do any of us have any idea of what we are doing? Can we ever get it right, and do we understand the importance of blind faith? And again, the antagonist.

I was going of to bed but when I saw this track by Redler on the collaborations board over on Songcrafters http://songcrafters.org/community/index.php?topic=19632.0 i had to investigate ....i heard it.....and jumped on it ....i can always have…
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…
Just an experiment from a while back using multiple delay units. I hated it initially, but after not hearing it for a few months I decided there were enough interesting moments to warrant sharing.
This is a Phil Keaggy tune. I swiped his original loop and then built my own thing on top of it. Might have been longer, but my volume swell effect keeps slipping out of sync with everything else. May work on it more at a later date
Hi everyone.. I wrote this song for Archie Watson, son of my dear friends Lauren and Bradley Watson, who sadly was diagnosed with Tay-Sachs disease just before Christmas. Tay-sachs is a rare genetic disorder for which there is currently no cure…
Nice groove, great feel. Love the strut to this one. Great collection of songs; thanks for brightening this Saturday morning. Perfect fit for the day here...
Let me introduce to you
Every woman child and man
The place I did my growing up
Raised by grandma's hand
I think you'll find
That folks are kind
They're sure to ask you in
Enter the warmth
Close the door
And my story will begin…
A dramatisation of events from school.. hope 'Shaun' never hears this, and if he does, that he likes it in someway, and that things turned out alright in the end..
It was always rainin.
It filled him up
It summed it up
So perfectly
How nothing…
Tell me can you teach me bout your finely written poetry
Dont care about the content I just want to make em notice me
Such a fine hand they'd say wooo, study it closely
Been practicing all day I think I'm ready least I aughta be.
Caligraphy…
It aint like no ones done this before
But how can you tire of beautiful chords
In the fifties
In Tenessee
Where my love
was born
Two young men upped and
crossed the yard
both cold cos it was rainin hard.
One of them turned said…
Getting kind of sci-fi here, and I really went overboard with the samples.
It's like if George Clinton and Arjen Lucassen collaborated on a funk electronica piece after watching The 13th Floor on nonstop repeat for three weeks.
Freesound…
I went a little sample crazy this year for the RPM challenge. (This song is the tip of the iceberg, and then it gets far worse.)
Thematically, I guess this one resulted from spending a month between the hospital and a rehab facility last year…

Great stomping feel on this, cool number!
Great song!
Very nice!
Just perfect.
I like the swirling nature of this. Glad you decided to put it out for us to hear.
Another fine piece of music! Volume pedal and e-bow? Not sure, doesn't matter anyway. Sounds so open and spacious. Love it...
Great sounds, great piece! Is that a volume pedal I hear? Excellent all around, Kirk! Cheers, Gary
I just love this song. In a musical sense, I fall in love with it all over again every time I hear it.
Nice work Lady Jane!
Love the tones...
