Je viens d'reveiller
Je ne peux plus dormir
J'prends du cafe
C'comme ça, i'faut s'nourrir…

A traditional Canadian song. There are lyrics but I decided to leave them out.
Tracks include guitar, bass, concertina, hand drum, and kalimba.
Lyrics (how I sing them):
Verse 1:
Land of the silver birch
Home of the beaver
Where the…
Thanks guys!
Wayne: I'd love to hear your version of the song! I don't see it in your uploaded tracks. Hopefully one day :)
acoustic57: I didn't know there was another version on here. I'll have to go find it!
Inspired by a gift from my Cousin Danita, a bird whistle.

Pat Bondi here at Alonetone does a great and quite different version of this folk song entitled Maiden on the Shore, so I dug into my demo archives and found this version that I recorded long ago. Long before the Internet, I used to listen…
I wanted to record a version of this lovely traditional East Coast Canada / USA tune. It's been done many times, in different ways, with variations on the lyrics. I've leaned on Solas's and Stan Rogers's versions, and added a verse of my own…
Another French folk song that I thought I’d have a go at recording today. It’s a lovely little tune about gathering around the table with friends. I learned this one from one of Marcel Bénéteau’s CDs.

I'll Tell Me Ma is a folk song in the Irish tradition. I recorded it with acoustic instruments, multiple vocal tracks, and spoons for the main percussion, to give it that kitchen party feel!
I did it in the key of C. Not exactly normal, but…

Long may they stay warm in our hearts

Another silly little tune, this time about the world's favourite stout! (Edit: uploaded a new version. Fixed a few mistakes.)
Lyrics:
When the sun is up high, in a bright blue sky
And you're walking around in Dublin town
You got nothing…
I'm glad you liked it! I've been to Ireland only once. Only had time to hang out in and around Dublin, but I did get to visit St. James's Gate and a few of the pubs. It'd be very cool to go back and see the country!

Part 1 of a travelling trilogy. Played on electric guitar in Dropped D Tuning. On the Wetband site here at Alonetone I overdubbed some slide guitar and bass: https://alonetone.com/wetband/playlists/traveling-trilogy/traveling-on-by-woody-b…
Sometimes life tends to repeat itself if you're not careful.... Good to find a moment to recognize old patterns and shake them off.
Great help on this one from the MN Coffee Table Gang - Greg Connor on guitar and vocals, and Mark Lofgren…
I'm trying my hand at creating instrumentals for Sync Licensing. This track is actually one file containing 3 pieces of music: Orion's Belt 1, 2 & 3.
You can find my instrumentals on Pond5. Here is the address:

I found a CD with a lot of my old songs on it, many I have re - recorded and are on here. This one I had forgot about. The Good Wife does her bit on it.
Thanks, Greg!
Close: the lead is a mandolin. It has a fuller sound than normal because I recorded two tracks with a mandolin playing the same thing.
There's also guitar, bass, harp, pennywhistle, bongo, and bodhran in there.

I'm really digging all your recent uploads :)
Sounds good! We're travelling on...
Lovely melodies in this one. And yes, it's very good to remember: I'm not too old, not too young, and I'm not stuck :)
Fun little tune, and I like the lyrics!
Love it! Downloading and putting on repeat for a while...
oh yes! dig it
This one's working for me :)
