Wow! John, Paul, and George with Young/Young/Williams/Rudd backing them... I can't think of a better combination for me to listen to.
The chorus is just sublime.
And George Martin at the controls... lol (just reached the end).
Almost perfect Gary - LOVE IT!!
This one started as a the title line while driving in my car. All I had was the line and it's melody. I built the song around that about 6 months later. The lyrics are self explanatory.
What's rock and roll without a yee-haw or war-whoop before a solo?
This ragged piece of something or other came from a riff I had laying around for a couple of years. I pieced it together kind of last minute for RPM 2006. It's not bad, a lot…
Allelujiah-This was supposed to be a completely different song, but this one just wrote itself instead. It’s almost all first take, except for the bass, which took a while to get straight so that it wouldn’t overwhelm the song. It has this tone…
Summer Grass- I didn’t originally intend for this to be the title track, but since most, though not all, of the songs on this album sound like summer to me, I decided, why not? The guitar even sounds humid and warm, but in that nice July way…
A little fun riff that came from noodling on my Epi whilst watching the idiot box one night. It's kind of written for a friend who is a little lost in a self-imposed exile from life.
Top Of The Pops circa 1972! Remember when all those bands in the early 70's where adding synth to every song but the lyrics meant something (sometimes)? Pure excitement, pure bubblegum, pure fun. Well, this is my offering and thanks to all of…
OK i geddit. Those vocals - there is a place in my heart that loves them before they even start. It must be 3 or 4 bands rolled into one but they are hitting the spot. The Beatles/Cream/Status Quo and The Carpenters all in the same throat! Magical!
This song started as the riff on my Strat while fooling around with some FX. I knew it needed to be a big dance number, and then realized there is a great story about the power of music and dance, which I hid in the lyrics. See if you can figure…

Hold On- Ok, this one is really hard. Not in a rock sense, but other ways. Musically, this song really dances on the line of schmaltz, and a few times, trips over it. I had a hard time singing some of the lines, since I don’t have a pretty voice…

One of my first favorite songs...I had this idea floating around for years, even tried it with the band in late 98-99. This 2001 recording comes closest to capturing what I hear in my head.
This one seems to have a lot more dynamic range than the other ones. Suits me better as I'm not usually a "loud guy" ... Great 60s/70s touch again. Just the way I like it! :)
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…

A beautiful end to this great album
Good old 70s rock - that's what your music sounds to me. Really fun to listen to.
Your singing style reminds me of John Mellencamp on "John & Diane". Good job!
I don't know if it sounds like Summer, but it sure sounds like good song to me.
Gary, this is a really cool tune. Nice guitar work
And This!! yes 1972! I'm right back in that living room (and the speakers are way better)
Oh This!!
OK i geddit. Those vocals - there is a place in my heart that loves them before they even start. It must be 3 or 4 bands rolled into one but they are hitting the spot. The Beatles/Cream/Status Quo and The Carpenters all in the same throat! Magical!
Fantastic, one of the best songs I heard on Alonetone so far.
This is so retro, fantastic!
This whole piece is ear candy
Rocks!
excellent!!!Guitar and vocal
Just a brilliant track!
Great Tune!
Pretty cool. :)
This is my favourite track on your album Gary. Just great!! A most enjoyable album altogether.
This one seems to have a lot more dynamic range than the other ones. Suits me better as I'm not usually a "loud guy" ... Great 60s/70s touch again. Just the way I like it! :)
Sounds more like 1982 to be. ;) :P Either way it sounds superb. You have achieve a level of professionalism that most of us will never achieve.

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...
Cool experimental stuff 34!
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...
Great song.
Great twang and slide. Cool song, very cool.
Wow, what a great use of reverb. This has a fantastic mood. And the bells. Awesome.
Great number.
Great playing, killer lyrics. Very, very tasty.
Sweet creamy music. Sounds like a hot day driving through the country. Excellent.
Awesome
MiniMoog? Great!
