Thank you for pulling me back, continuously. Production wise, I could make an entire album out of Leslie speakers. I love their sound, so so much.

From December 2017, my take on an old classic, with a little twist of a bonus number near the end. It may be the first tune I did in 6/8 time, at least that anyone has heard from me. This (sort of) should have a rolling highlands sound to it…

Gonna do this just one more time.

Sometimes the crazy thing to do is the right thing to do.

Because we're all a little messy.

Love is selfless.

But probably not enough.

We're all Judas at one time or another.

Who am I kidding? I don't know anything.

You are, nonetheless.

Because your TV is killing you slowly.

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…

Full of promise, fresh, new, worries are far away but still potentially seeping in. The antagonist is never far. The song began it's life when I was messing around with some Wurly and Rhodes sounds. The riff was almost an accident, and has been…

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…

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…

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…

Now that you know, you have try to be more aware, because it is easy to slip, to stumble, to fall. It's even harder once you are aware. And year after year...antagonist...
