i turn a page somewhere in the middle of all this - you'd think i would…
Final version of this tune - voice and guitar, banjoe accompaniment
i'm still getting used to this new mic and finding my voice sounds different with or i'm singing differently because of it. So .. feedback appreciated, and if you like it…

An unaccompanied song about bedtime. Not a lullaby though. Oh no!
What does anyone think of the 'cat's moustache' line - it seems like that's a make or break call right there and i like it when i read it but it's hard to sing without…

I wanted to have a banjo fiddle tune but i still haven't learnt to play either instrument, so this is my famous 1 string banjo technique, with mandolin and guitar. It's style is inspired by meeting Morgan O'Kane and Ferd 4 last…

I'm sill looking for better lyrics for this but i like listening to it. EDIT i found them - see v2
It's been up at the Challenge site for a few days so i thought it ought to be up here too
Final version
RPM 2011 - my first track recorded and the opening track for the CD
A kind of Old Time gospel number, which, if you listen to those pre-war guitar playing preachers, are virtually indistinguishable from blues. Except for the lyrics…

I'm still not sure meself but it calls for drastic measures.
either i have to change the lyric or i have to call the album 'The Cat's Moustache'.

One of my heroes. Willie McTell was blind from birth and travelled all over the south in the thirties at a time when many people would never go more than 20 miles from their home.
Plus nobody sings the blues quite like him…
This is the first demo [Sister Savage](http://alonetone.com/sistersavage) and I have made for our RPM 2011 album.
Although I've uploaded a copy here we'd be really grateful if you would listen to the [version uploaded by Sister](http://alonetone…
The other night a few of Elvis's friends came over to see him and the thetworegs were listening in by the ventilation shaft from the cellar and they took a liking to a jam that was happening with a man called Diamond Neil doing the Vocals. This…

RPM 2011 number 2. Inspired by an ex-friend of mine who had the most dazzling rose tinted glasses. Always used to envy the simplicity of his view and how nothing could ever get to him (everything gets to me).. since i knew him I know a lot of…
My first upload.
This is a cover of probably my favourite song of all time, by The Waterboys, who were introduced to me many years ago when the highlight of my week was Thursday night TV, pizza and quaffing Baileys.
Thanks to Sister S for…
This is the demo version of what was to be a full-on internet band thing. The instruments are place holders (but not bad in part). Just pretend the lead guitar player got into the wine early. Sadly, it will likely never get beyond 'demo', but…
nihilistic? yes. horribly so? not at all. Quite a catchy anthem, in fact. defeatist? possibly ... it depends ..whatcha gonna do about it, eh?
it is kind of ironic being nihilistic *about* a revolution tho ;-)
good track, i loved where the drums pick up in the middle
Having fun (finally) playing around with the riff for this tune by Howling Wolf, which is based on a song by Charley Patton and another by the Mississippi Sheiks and another by Tommy Johnson and so on ...
Comments on Gumbo's stuff
This a great song Gumbo. Luv the lyrics and the energy. Uh uh uh oh, way to go!
I wanna play my washboard :)
Perfect Mr. Gumbo. Clean and appropriately mixed for your style. Which I think is totally original.
Delightful!! Perhaps a bit of harmonica?
i feel like i should be around a campfire during the civil war
oh and an extra nod from the wife. you are honoured, she never likes anything. ever.
yeah i wouldnt bother with those other strings fella they're clearly surplus to requirements.. :)
I am fond of your 1 string method! Just another great song from the Gum.!!!
Let's here it for Morgan O'Kane. This is really fun Gumbo.
Thats a great one string banjo technique you have enjoyed it
i re-sang this because the start was bugging me so it's slightly, not radically, different and in a good direction.
Cool! Reminds me a bit of a Rev Gary Davis tune
three cheers for The Cat's Mustache!
Stu you on a roll!! Of course this is RPM. But I am enjoying the journey anyway!
moosestachio fine with me! I know how hard A-Capella is. You did an excellent job doing it! It has just the right timbre.
thanks Alex I'm still not sure meself but it calls for drastic measures. either i have to change the lyric or i have to call the album 'The Cat's Moustache'.
accapella works. like it as it is. The mustache did stand out to me but i kinda liked it personally. nice one chum
Good stuff
Excellent
rob and laura hit the nail firmly on the head there. cant put it any better.. agree entirely. u do it complete and utter justice.. not easily done
Comments made by Gumbo
I love this mix too :-)
just curious ... how many more have you got to upload?
i can dig it :-)
these are great Peter you're going to have another stunning album!
What a great way to wake up on a Sunday Morning!
Haha excellent!
sad song :-(
Lovelly mood on this one
mesmerising, that vocal is spot on
Wow.
thanks guys .. only nine to go ...
Love the opening mix of instruments on this. Inspired ... and then that wonderful vocal. Great track altogether.
that's the stuff!
Funky!
Noice version :-) whatever way you recorded that guitar is lovely. Is it reverb/delay or is it the room?
man your voice works beautifully on this
Funky as Fark. This is Marvellous.
Wow! this is stunning. What a beaut!
