Desserts of the Higher Plane roll along
Desserts of the higher plane…

          Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall....
Humpty Dumpty's Warning Song (A preachy cautionary tale)

          I wrote this song about 2 years ago and shared it here on Alonetone back then. I decided to do a studio recording of it recently.  With the help of the team at F5 Soundhouse here in Minneapolis we've created this updated version.  I hope you enjoy…

          Nothing beats when the MN songwriters convene.  Greg and Colin sure brought some awesome sound to this song at the coffee table to improve the version that I recorded myself earlier this month.  It's what I call a TOTAL MAKEOVER.

          This one is still a bit rough, but I wanted to share and see if anyone has an interest in adding some guitars, bass, other vocal parts for fun. I left the chords in the lyrics below, in case you wanted to collaborate.    I hope you enjoy it…
