This is a bonus track as it didn't make the album
For those of you who know my stuff - does this sound like it works? or is it too much like filler - the vocals are effected, there's a drum loop - the guitar is just chopped out of a jam - i…
one of those 'it was written even before i started' songs that just rolls out like magic
i tried to keep it simple so as not to destroy the vibe
first finished (if unmixed) track for RPM 2010
A cover of Iron Angel Forge's song from his 2009 RPM Challenge album, Not Forsaken. He is here at alonetone under the name IronAngel.
I haven't told him yet, though, so it's a surprise ;~)
I had no idea myself - I just got into this morning and started to get the feel of the song and the house was all quiet and then presto - it was done. Now I should get back outside and get the scrap into the trailer like I'm supposed to!
Originally conceived as a mellow-ish, Stephen Stills sounding number (at least the verses), then the chorus came to me out of nowhere and turned the whole song on it's ear. I think that was for the better. I have to admit that I surprised myself…
An RPM 2009 song. Well, this was a personal story for me that came about when your past intersects (briefly) with the present.
Lyrics:
20 years running through time and I remember
all the magic lines
that in our younger days
we drew…
This is a live recording of a set I did with guitarist Mike Levine on a University of New Hampshire radio show. This is one of the 'songs' we did. It is a 5-tune Irish fiddle set that was previously done by the great Irish fiddle player Martin…
This was a total experimental piece about just making a soundscape. I played instruments I don't really play, and put some thru different effects just to experiment. The Bushisms add some color to what would otherwise just be some noise. I…

That's lovely playing there. Ah it's good to hear this. Martin was born just down the road from here, and we get to hear him play quite often. Bravo to ye for tackling this and making such a great track
I do not know anyone named Lilly Child. I just thought the name sounded good.
This is third of 10 "Off the cuff" songs written last June. I have only recorded 4 of the 10
This was the first time I'd fired up my telecaster and amp for a recording and it felt like sitting in Sun Studios or something. Amazing sound after playing just acoustic instruments for a year. It's the first take and I loved it!
This is now…
I've uploaded some remixes and this one is probably the most different as it has a re-recorded lead guitar part and sounds a lot better - thanks to Uglifruit for the crit.
Well I been playing the blues for so long
Kinda feel like playing jazz x 2
I dig the random instrumentation.
Play this in eight over three and a half
I been playing the blues for so long, make me feel like tryna rap x 2
I think I'll call…
Can i get a little whisky in this water said John
The day the world stopped being fair
I didnt know what to say so I said yeah.
I poured a double whisky and I placed it in his hand
And said friend, only true friends understand
He said friend…
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…

Gumbo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Deep sounding song.
Wow! Very FNG! Great Vocals man.
cool!
Very very cool.
Nice one man!
love it!
It works in exactly the same way that--after memorizing a Clapton version of a JJ Cale song--you finally hear JJ do it. Does that make sense?
Sweet.
Hard to write a classic. You were blessed.
Comments made by Gumbo
Yeah - start a commotion ;~)

Fun-key!! It suddenly becomes The Who!! Wicked!
Beautiful - reminds me of TombRaider III - very peaceful.
What a big surprise!! That's great, moschell. Man you've got a good voice for this. Rip-roaring!
there's a lovely build to this song
Just listened again. Great stuff.
I love that quote. "I know that Fish and human beings can co-exist peacefully" Classic
That's lovely playing there. Ah it's good to hear this. Martin was born just down the road from here, and we get to hear him play quite often. Bravo to ye for tackling this and making such a great track
Did I comment on this before? I like it more now! Downloaded and faved.
Lovely track. Your characteristicly beautiful melodies and tasty playing, Gil. Stu

thumbs up on the remixed vocal, moschell. I can fave this now!
Man you get a 'deep' sound. It's like the whole world pales into insignificance when I'm listening. Great version of this track.
this track has a video now on it's homepage
Oh That's so clever - love it!
Such a great groove.
that's stopped my brain, that has. You must have hit a spot, Alex!
Funky! Yaya! Dance party!
Haha - I had to hear it again while it downloaded!
